The Blues were awful against the Maple Leafs. Steve Ott’s ugly injury might have summed things up for the Blues, but Colton Parayko was able to get one big hit in on Nazem Kadri. It’s always fun watching a player get checked into his own bench.

Steve Ott may hold the new record for most awkward tumble into the boards. His skates got caught up with Dion Phaneuf and he went crashing into the boards … while doing the splits. This will make you cringe. Ott was forced to leave the game with a lower-body injury.

Along with this announcement came the news that Ralph Wilson Stadium, home of the Buffalo Bills, would host an outdoor game between the U.S. and Canada. Buffalo is an outstanding choice for the World […]

Here’s a crazy story out of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Acadie-Bathurst Titan defenseman Nicolas Dumulong parked his car at K.C. Irving Regional Centre prior to his team’s game against the Saint John Sea Dogs. Shortly after exiting his vehicle and beginning to walk away, he noticed the car was moving. Dumulong tried to stop the car which […]

Referees are the bane of any athlete’s existence. They are only there to catch you during your sneakiest and most conniving moments. Recently with how fast the game has progressed, refs miss an awful lot of plays so it is up to the players to police themselves. Such is the case with Jaromir Jagr. Jagr […]

Often times when a team is trailing by a large margin, players think it will motivate the team if they take a fist in the mouth for the sake of everyone. Brad Malone decided to nominate himself as tribute tonight and the results were anything but pretty. You have to appreciate the ref’s hug that is […]

We saw the other night in the KHL that sometimes a skate gets up high on a player and it can produce some very scary moments. When I wrote that I didn’t expect that so shortly after the fact a scary moment would produce itself in the same week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnQ-ArJ7yAY&feature=youtu.be I don’t know what the hell […]

Even though the game isn’t supposed to be taken too seriously, some have criticized fans for voting for […]

When you aren’t from a traditional hockey market even from the beginning, the cards are stacked against you. Not only from your own city but from outsiders as well. If you are a hockey club in the sunbelt of the United States, people openly wonder why you have a team and why in God’s name […]

Going into the season, the Anaheim Ducks were among the favorites to take home the Stanley Cup. They were certainly favored to win the Pacific Division for the fourth season in a row and generally expected to make a deep playoff run. Yet, here we sit nearly one-third of the way through the 2015-16 season, […]

When it comes to losing, no one knows more about it in within the past decade than the Edmonton Oilers. Most of their memorable moments have taken place at the Draft rather than on the ice, so it should come as no surprise that once again the Oilers are in the spotlight for all the […]

Recently it was announced that Dylan Larkin was November’s Rookie of the Month which was quite an accomplishment for the former Michigan Wolverine. He had seven goals alone in the month of November which led all rookies. Larkin has been everything the Red Wings have needed and because of that they have had an opportunity to […]

As far as Doc Emrick goes, he is kind of like everyone’s grandfather. Old, charming and a little bit kooky. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Emrick may have one of the weirdest laughs in the entire world. I had to listen to this in upwards of 50 times to make sure that it […]
