Vladimir Tarasenko Makes A Little Girl's Birthday
The world is a toilet fire, so you are going to watch this uplifting video, do you hear me? You are going to watch every last second, so help me god, and you and I are going to feel good about something for once, even if it fucking kills us. ...
Mark Stone Knocked Out Of Game By Being Checked In The Head
Jacob Trouba’s shoulder cracked Mark Stone’s face and knocked the Senators forward out of the game—drawing just a two-minute minor penalty, to the dismay of Ottawa fans and coach Guy Boucher....
Mike Ilitch Was No Saint<em></em>
If you only went by what you read in the Detroit papers this week, you’d think Mike Ilitch—the pizza baron and owner of the Detroit Red Wings and Tigers who died last week at the age of 87—was a god incarnate. And for the last three decades, if you’d asked anyone in Michigan, you’d have gotten the s...
Oh Yeah, Evgeni Malkin's Back
I have a single, entirely rhetorical question about the Malkin-to-Kessel goal above: How the hell do you stop that?...

What In The Damn Heck, Canadiens Fire Michel Therrien And Hire Claude Julien
On the one hand this was so painfully obvious, and on the other hand, holy shit. The first-place Montreal Canadiens have fired head coach Michel Therrien amid a skid, and hired former Bruins coach Claude Julien, who was out of work for seven days, which was seven days too long....
New Canadian Citizens Sing Anthem At Flames Game
To pass your Canadian citizenship exam, you have to learn the entire history of your new home country, from the First Nations to the fur trade to the War of 1812 to Confederation to whatever happened in the next 150 years right up to the Flames’ post-lockout futility (it gets a whole chapter in the ...
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....
The NHL Will Give Gustav Nyquist A Few Days To Think About What He Did
The Red Wings have missed the playoffs just twice in my lifetime, and I’m old. But now, at 22-24-10 and dead last in the Eastern Conference, they appear bound for the reckoning/rebuild that they’ve somehow escaped so many times over the decades. It is, for the first time since 1990, a lost season in...
Mike Ilitch, Owner Of The Tigers And Red Wings, Dead At 87
Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch died this afternoon. He was 87 years old....
Stars Score Own Goal On Delayed Penalty, Because It's Been That Kind Of Season<em></em>
Just two teams have allowed more goals per game than the Dallas Stars, and while plays like this aren’t necessarily how they reached those rarified heights, it’s, uh, indicative....
Neither MSG Security Nor A Hockey Game Can Stop Pro-Charles Oakley Chants<em></em>
It’s been a full day since Charles Oakley got tossed out of Madison Square Garden and arrested following a fight with MSG staffers. Tonight, the building was back in use for an NHL game.

Report: Arizona Coyotes Exploring Possible Relocation To The Pacific Northwest [Update]
The Arizona Coyotes are not happy with their situation in Glendale. The team had the framework of a plan to move to Tempe until late last week, when Arizona State pulled out of a potential deal. Taxpayers still owe $150 million on the Coyotes’ 14-year-old stadium, but owner Anthony LeBlanc is going ...
Evander Kane Scores Game-Winner, Celebrates By Smashing His Head Into The Boards
Evander Kane scored the overtime winner for the Buffalo Sabres tonight, but he couldn’t avoid tripping a little bit in the process and eating the boards behind the goal....
Bruins Fire Claude Julien And Will Probably Regret It
The oldest trick in the book...the Tuesday morning news dump? The Bruins announced the firing of head coach Claude Julien shortly after sunrise, and while the move isn’t exactly unexpected (whether it’s wise is an entirely different question), the timing is suspect. Boston hasn’t played a game since...
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...
Blues Fire Ken Hitchcock, Apparently For Not Making His Goalies Not Terrible
One of the weirder coaching situations in recent memory was abruptly cleared up, as the St. Louis Blues announced the firing of head coach Ken Hitchcock. He’ll be replaced by associate coach Mike Yeo, who was hired to be the “coach-in-waiting” as Hitchcock prepared to step down following this season...
The Islanders Are Kind Of Screwed
Despite the hyperbolic headline on this Bloomberg story, the Islanders are not homeless just yet, and won’t be for at least the next two and a half years. But, uh, they might want to get on figuring that out pretty soon, unless they want to be forced to crash on the Rangers’ couch, or be deported to...
