This NHL Referee Aspires To Be A Milder Version Of Wes McCauley

Carl Hagelin Mindfucked A Goalie For An Easy Evgeni Malkin Score<em></em>
The Penguins are lighting the lamp on the Senators tonight, and Ottawa back-up goalie Mike Condon can barely figure out what’s going on.

Flames Pest Ryan Lomberg Takes On A Much Larger Opponent, Eats Many Fists
The reason why the tale of David and Goliath is notable is because most of the time, Goliath should win. Put a 5-foot-9, 175-pound AHL goon against a 6-foot-5, 235-pound counterpart, and who do you think will usually come out on top?...
Gabriel Landeskog Beat The Shirt Off Brayden Schenn<em></em>
Just three seconds into last night’s Avs-Blues contest, Colorado’s Gabriel Landeskog and St. Louis’s Brayden Schenn decided to randomly drop the gloves and have a brawl in open ice.

It's The Connor McDavid Show
It’s not yet officially a lost season for the Oilers, sexy preseason Cup picks who find themselves far out of a playoff spot, but it’s been a disaster so far.

What If <i>The Purge</i>, But For Goalie Interference<em></em>
Every sport has its catch rule, a point of controversy with rules so vague or arcane or reliant on human judgment that fans, players, and even referees can have trouble defining it. In hockey these days, that’s goaltender interference, and the usual short-term solution is that we trust the officials...

The Islanders Got Hilariously Outshot And Still Won
The Montreal Canadiens got 56 shots on goal against goalie Thomas Greiss and the New York Islanders. On the defensive end, they only gave up 24 shots.
