NWHL Revises Internship Duties To Be Less Like Multiple Full-Time Jobs

Remember when Steve Simmons, columnist and stooge at the Toronto Sun, kicked off his article about the Maple Leafs trading Phil Kessel with a (later debunked) anecdote about how Kessel used to eat a street hot dog every day? I surely won’t forget that, and two Stanley Cups later, neither has Phil....

Hell Is Winning Free Tickets And Not Realizing It
Predators fan Andrew Fudge wanted some free tickets to see his team play the Penguins in the Stanley Cup, so he entered a promo that the team was running, once before Game 3 and once before Game 4.

Someone Give Jaromir Jagr A Dang Phone Call
Jaromir Jagr played pretty well, not just for a 45-year-old, but for any hockey player in 2017. He notched 16 goals and 30 assists for the Florida Panthers, and Jagr was first on the team in net on-ice shot attempts. As the season went on and Jagr kept skating in every game, the old man’s remark tha...

Farewell To Shane Doan, The Ultimate Company Man
On Monday, with a distinct lack of ceremony, the Arizona Coyotes announced that they would not offer a new contract to Shane Doan, abruptly dismissing the longest-serving active captain in the NHL.

Why Did The Red Wings Expose Petr Mrazek?<em></em>
While I’m still unenthused about the idea of the new Vegas Golden Knights actually playing their games, I’ve been giddy as hell about the drama surrounding the expansion draft. Nothing is more entertaining than watching a highly paid GM make a dumb move, and with 30 teams involved in a fairly comple...
