NHL Referee Wes McCauley Puts A Little Extra Into His Fighting Call
The best kind of referee is usually the one who isn’t noticed, but maybe there’s an exception for hockey’s Wes McCauley. He was really into his duty of announcing the penalties after a fight between Torey Krug and Andrew Shaw Sunday:...
That Was A Vintage Pest Performance By Alex Burrows
The hockey boys were rowdy last night! A few hours after Gustav Nyquist tried to embed his stick in Jared Spurgeon’s facehole, Sabres netminder Robin Lehner and Canucks agitator Alexandre Burrows spent the evening going at each other—with Burrows the clear winner....
Unruly Hockey Kid Fights Ref
This large hockey son is definitely getting booted from his high school hockey game in Buffalo, NY for knocking down the ref trying to put him in the penalty box. But to be perfectly honest, I’m pretty sure the ref shoved first....
Transcribing Don Cherry Does Not Really Help In Understanding Him
Former NHL coach and current CBC commentator Don Cherry tends to speak quickly, and it doesn’t help that his suits talk over him, but Reddit user Doopus16 provided a service to the public by transcribing two of Cherry’s Coach’s Corner segments. The result might not be that beneficial, but the replay...
Free Agenting The U.S. Pond Hockey Championships
The U.S. Pond Hockey Championships were held this past weekend in Minneapolis. It’s supposed to be kind of kitsch and old school—“hockey the way nature intended” is their motto. While I did not see anyone using magazines affixed to their shins with duct tape, as the website’s folksy history section ...
The Greatest Players In NHL History: Nos. 50-40
Hockey writers and podcasters Dave Lozo of Vice Sports, Sean “Down Goes Brown” McIndoe, and Greg Wyshynski of Puck Daddy have a new book called The 100 Greatest Players In NHL History (And Other Stuff): An Arbitrary Collection of Arbitrary Lists. They give their own ranking of the “NHL 100,” as well...
Shootout Winner Bounces Off Back Of Goalie's Head
Rochester goalie Linus Ullmark was the star in last night’s AHL game between the Americans and the Toronto Marlies, stopping 39 of 40 shots, and yet he ends up on the lowlight reel. Life isn’t fair sometimes....
Chris Kreider Bludgeoned Cody Eakin With His Own Helmet
The helmet: a useful tool for keeping your brains intact. Also, apparently a weapon?...
Goalie Fight Comes To Sudden, Violent End
Adam Vay of the Quad City Mallards—a real team in the ECHL, I swear—is not someone you wan to scrap with. The goalie is an avid MMA practitioner, but it seems that Cincinnati Cyclones keeper Michael Houser didn’t know that, because he tried to throw hands last night. It did not end well....
Hockey Blogger Goes Rogue, Posts Conspiracy Theory About All-Star Game And Race
I wasn’t on the internet last night, so my first exposure to the mess that happened over in the hockey blog corner of the internet was this apology letter. Here are the first two lines:...
Brock Lesnar Accidentally Curses Winnipeg Jets' Season By Stepping On Team Seal
Brock Lesnar is halfway through a year-long USADA doping suspension, and he’s apparently filling part of the MMA-shaped void in his life with hockey. The Winnipeg Jets had him over last night, and he promptly doomed their season by stepping on a team logo seal in the center of the locker room. I’m g...
Team USA Wins World Juniors Gold
Team USA’s hockey young adults beat Canada in a shootout to win the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, 5-4. Troy Terry scored the only goal of the shootout, with Team USA goalie Tyler Parsons making all five of his saves....

Chill Dog Enjoys Hockey Game
The camera lingers on the Stars bench. Slowly, it pans up and to the left before settling on a pair of fans just above the tunnel. A subtle zoom reveals: it’s a dog. ...
Fight Leaves Wayne Simmonds Shirtless
Kevin Bieksa and Wayne Simmonds dropped the gloves just 95 seconds into last night’s 4-3 Ducks shootout win over the Flyers, and Bieksa immediately yanked his opponent’s jersey over his head, to the delight of the crowd and to grins from Simmonds and the officials....
The Hurricanes Playing Their Equipment Manager As Emergency Goalie Is The Best Kind Of Cheesy Sports Story
Why no one has made a cheesy sports movie about an emergency goalie getting to achieve his dream for one night is a mystery to me, because emergency goalies are some of the best cheesy sports stories that can regularly happen in real life. A 31-year-old bank manager who played club hockey at Arizona...
No, Canada
The U.S. beat Canada 3-1 at the World Juniors today to take Group B, and in doing so earned the raising of the Stars And Stripes. Alas, Canada was unable to complete that task either—and in doing so provided us one final cap-off of what was a stellar 2016 for this country....
