Former NHL referee Kerry Fraser reviewed some of the more egregious moments from The Mighty Ducks and breaks down the clear penalties and even the moments that only a screenwriter could dream up, including the "Flying V." But don't worry, the Ducks were onside for the iconic...skating formation. ...
Crossbar Keeps Rangers Scoreless; Marc-André Fleury Shows It Some Love
The Rangers have hit the post or crossbar three times tonight, and remain scoreless through most of two periods. The Penguins have done it twice, but they've also hit the net twice for a 2-0 lead.

What Do The Sharks Do Now? If They're Smart, Nothing.
The San Jose Sharks, already widely considered the chokingest team in hockey history, bolstered their reputation on Wednesday night. Now they've got a big decision: soldier on with the same pieces, or blow the whole thing up. Hopefully they keep in mind the fact that no one ever got better by blowin...
The Blackhawks Use Advanced Analytics. Shouldn't Your Team?
Let's play a game. I like to call it "Guess Which NHL GM's Team is a Cup Contender and Which One is Golfing." Today's contestants are Chicago's Stan Bowman, from a fascinating piece in the Sun-Times, and Calgary's Brian Burke, from a radio interview a couple of days ago....
Bruins Unimpressed By Carey Price's 48-Save Night
Normally, if you allow Boston to score three goals, you're not going to win. They feature the single best defensive forward, blueliner, and netminder in the league, with everyone else taking their cues from a style designed to strangle and frustrate. That style worked just as it was supposed to last...
Tuukka Mad
Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask was pissed at himself for allowing the Canadiens' second goal and couldn't control his anger as he tried to drink. Rask has a habit of reacting poorly to giving up goals. ...

The Irrepressible Wild Take An All-Time Great Game 7
The Minnesota Wild's frenetic overtime victory was, in some ways, the antithesis of what's supposed to make a Game 7 so remarkable. You think of a Game 7 and you think of the tension. The buttclenching fear that one turnover, one save, one play is going to decide the series. And that suffocating pr...
The San Jose Sharks Join A Depressing Club By Blowing A 3-0 Series Lead

The Rangers' Slow-Motion Collapse Is Becoming An Annual Event
The standing ovation the Flyers received at the end of last night's first period was not entirely deserved. Through 20 minutes they'd been pretty well pushed around, getting outpossessed at even strength to the tune of 18 shot attempts to just 11 (37.9 percent). That, in hockey, doesn't sound like m...
Sidney Crosby Breaks Stick Slashing Artem Anisimov
Here's Sidney Crosby getting pissed at Artem Anisimov in the second period of Game 6 against the Blue Jackets and lashing out by swinging his stick at his legs.

Why Sidney Crosby Got Booed In Pittsburgh
Let's mince no words here in saying that Sidney Crosby, the greatest active hockey player in the universe, is the reason that the Pittsburgh Penguins are not currently playing their home games in Kansas City.

Blues Fan Has Facepalm For The Ages After Toews Goal
A hearty thank you to reader Justin for pointing this out because it is wonderful. Look at this man who probably smacked himself in the face with such force that his whole section heard the thwack! Go ahead and expand this one to get the full experience, but don't stop there. There's a lot more goin...
Jonathan Toews's Overtime Winner Was As Close As It Gets
There's not much space at all between Ryan Miller's skate and the post, but Jonathan Toews used all of it on his backhand winner in overtime against the Blues. Toews gave the Blackhawks a 3-2 overtime win in Game 5 after he found himself at center ice all alone with the puck thanks to a Duncan Keith...
