Maple Leafs Kill Five-Minute Penalty For Seven Minutes Because Of An Obscure Rule
Maple Leafs defenseman Roman Polak received a five-minute major and game misconduct for boarding in Wednesday’s game against the Blue Jackets. Since Polak was ejected, Toronto would usually have another player serve the penalty in his stead. Head coach Mike Babcock decided to gamble, but it didn’t w...
Sidney Crosby Hits Guy In The Dick, Scores Incredible One-Handed Goal
In the opening minutes of the Pittsburgh Penguins game against the Buffalo Sabres, Sidney Crosby whacked Ryan O’Reilly right in the dick and balls with a casual nonchalance that would make Draymond proud. Seeing how O’Reilly crumpled to the ice, though, this didn’t look like much of a love tap:...
Hockey Players Scuffle, Serve Penalties, Leave Box, Immediately Fight For Real
Kings winger Jarome Iginla and Oilers forward Patrick Maroon finished the first period of Monday’s game with matching minor penalties for roughing, after the two got into a shoving match near the Los Angeles goal. Iginla and Maroon were able to stew over the course of a full intermission, so when th...

Phil Kessel Flips Puck Over The Back Of The Net To Assist Extremely Cool Goal

Hockey Players Fight, Discuss Their Summer Workout Plans

Hi, Would You Like To See A Metaphor For The Coyotes' Season?
The 2016-17 Coyotes season highlight DVD will just be this on loop for an hour....
No One Was Stopping Johnny Gaudreau Here
At 23 years old and far more deserving of his nickname than the guy it was swiped and adapted from, Calgary Flames winger Johnny Gaudreau is already one of the NHL’s most exciting players, and maybe the one you can least afford to take your eye off of, even when he’s back in his own zone with four d...
NHL Concussion Lawsuit Could Go To Trial This Year

The Penguins-Jets Grudge Match Was The Perfect NHL Cycle Of Stupidity
The Penguins and Jets came into Wednesday night’s game with beef. When these teams last met, on Feb. 16, the Jets were incensed by an Evgeni Malkin hit to the head of Blake Wheeler. Watch it here and decide for yourself, but the NHL decided it did not warrant any further discipline beyond Malkin’s t...
The NHL Should Retire No. 66 In Honor Of Josh Ho-Sang<em></em>
Josh Ho-Sang needed four games to earn his first NHL goal, but it was worth it. The 21-year-old scored with a hard slap shot in the Islanders’ 4-1 win over the Oilers Tuesday. He probably imagined Mario Lemieux’s face on the puck when he smacked that one....
Gary Bettman: Coyotes "Cannot And Will Not Remain In Glendale"<em></em>
If I can’t keep track of the various twists of the NHL’s attempts to succeed in the greater Phoenix market—and it’s kind of my job—how can I expect you to? All you need to know is that it’s been an economic disaster for the last two decades, and the future of the Arizona Coyotes remains as insecure ...
Marc Bergevin Is A Master Of Disguise
Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin pulled off a gag with a potted plant at Monday’s session of the NHL GM meetings. He must have enjoyed that brief moment of time in which he didn’t have to field any questions about P.K. Subban....
Big Dustin Byfuglien Takes Out Three Dudes At Once
Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien is listed at 6-foot-5, 260 pounds, and depending on the time of year, even that might be severely underselling it. The point is you don’t want to be in his way when his brakes go out. ...
Chris Stewart Punches Teammate, Corrects Situation By Punching Opponent
Hockey scrums can be a chaotic mess of limbs, so it’s understandable that the Wild’s Chris Stewart would accidentally biff teammate Zach Parise in the face during Sunday’s game. What’s better is that Stewart tried to play it off by smacking someone else....
Martin Jones's Collar Made A Lucky Save
The Wild beat the Sharks 3-1 last night, and it would have been worse if not for Martin Jones’s totally accidental, totally unrepeatable save on a Chris Stewart shot. The Wild players threw their arms up as if Stewart had scored, but you can’t see what happened till you check the replays:...
