It’s no secret at all that the rumors surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs and Steven Stamkos need little or no help to formulate. A lot of the rumors thus far have been pretty thin, but Stamkos gave the hockey world a little something to chew on thanks to Twitter. Stamkos said that the like of […]

Don’t you love boxscore oddities? The NHL provided the latest bizarre statistic as Dallas Stars goaltender Antti Niemi earned the win for his team … without making even one save. The Stars led the Carolina Hurricanes 5-1 heading into the third period. Kari Lehtonen started the game for the Stars and appeared to be on cruise control […]

Things are looking up in New Jersey. The New Jersey Devils underwent significant change this offseason. Former Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Ray Shero was brought in to take the reigns while longtime president and general manager Lou Lamoriello was demoted and bolted for Toronto. Shero proceeded to go off-book by naming John Hynes from the AHL […]

When you are in your contract, year everything becomes amplified times a million. Kyle Okposo is aware of that fact and by golly, he wants to be worth every penny come next summer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mb3TaBT4iQ Michael Neuvrith still almost saved it after getting deked out of his skates. I am still trying to catch my breath. […]

It should come as no surprise to ardent fans of the NHL that the league is going to be doing away with the compensation policy in place for fired coaches and executives still under contract by a team.

A lot of teams do the Teddy Bear Toss, but the Calgary Hitmen and their fans continue to raise the bar. A total of 28,815 plush toys hit the ice in the second period, leading to a lengthy delay in which the players and mascot jumped into the enormous piles of bears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8YfHu8FfEg What an amazing […]

Refs are people too and can get upset just like everyone else. This embellishment courtesy of James Neal drew the ire of Tim Peel. Warning: Language may offend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaCcB30Zc2Q I’m not sure if it is “F–k you, you are getting a f–king penalty!” or “F–k you, you are getting a f–king embellishment!” Both are sensational.

Get your jokes out. Seriously, get them all out. Alright, now we can move on. Today it was announced by James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail that Alexander Semin would be placed on waivers by the Montreal Canadiens. Thus ends (for now) Semin’s tenure with the successful Canadiens team which has an Eastern Conference […]

Jussi Jokinen might have a future as a goaltender. Even with his team trailing by two, Jokinen turned in an incredible effort to deny the New Jersey Devils on three separate chances at an empty net. He pokes the puck away, kicks it away and caps things off with a sliding save at the top of […]

Odds are pretty good you’ve already seen the Jordin Tootoo – Brad Malone fight which the hockey world is still buzzing about. That knockout aside, there were some other really good fights this week you might have missed.

Dustin Byfuglien has dished out a ton of huge hits during his career. This time he was on the receiving end as Bryan Bickell made a statement with a big hit which led to the gloves coming off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRc2oe2SZaw It’s rare you see Big Buff knocked off his skates and in such a powerful fashion. It’s […]

The KHL is much like the odd step brother of the NHL. You get the good, but you also get the bad. In this case you get the down right weird as Evgeny Ketov makes a shot Patrick Kane would be proud of … while scoring on his own net. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sKqs4M_i1A His face while he […]

Is “Piano Man” one of the best sing-a-long songs ever? “Sweet Caroline” has claim to it but for my money “Piano Man” is the best. Lucky for us as fans of hockey we get to hear legendary player and now color commentator for the Red Wings, Mickey Redmond sing us some Billy Joel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdWQiVhZRZA&feature=youtu.be I […]

In what could only be construed as villain-on-villain crime, Brandon Prust took some frustration out on Brad Marchand in the waning minutes of a 4-0 victory by Boston on Saturday night by using his stick to , a sensitive area.
