Kari Lehtonen’s play has been fairly mediocre in 2016-17, compiling a decent win/loss record with fairly pedestrian GAA and save percentage numbers. That being said, Lehtonen may have just claimed the best save of the season with his glove robbery on Philadelphia’s Ivan Provorov. The Flyers set up a great play, luring Lehtonen out of his […]

The NHL hasn’t decided whether or not they will allow players to compete in the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea, but it has already been reported that there is a “strong negative sentiment” from the league’s owners. That negative view may represent the majority, but it doesn’t reflect the views of Washington Capitals owners […]

It’s safe to say the St. Louis Blues aren’t going to be big fans of the New York Islanders’ home in Brooklyn any time soon. Heading into a game against the Isles on Thursday night, the Blues missed their morning skate due to a “clogged commute” which prevented them from making it to the arena. […]

What you might not know is just how good he has been since joining the Wild back in 2014-15. Even Wild fans may […]

The calendar has flipped to December which means it’s time for things to start getting serious in the NHL. The excuse of “it’s still early” doesn’t fly when Christmas starts approaching and because of that teams and players start playing a bit more physical. In other words, it’s a fun time of year for hockey […]

If you’ve watched the Buffalo Sabres this season, you may have noticed that goaltender Anders Nilsson has a splash of color on the back of his mask. That spot of color is the pride flag and the story behind it being on Nilsson’s mask is pretty commendable. [link_box id=”22277″ site_id=”17″ layout=”link-box-third” alignment=”alignright”]Nilsson recently spoke with the Buffalo […]

Don Cherry has never been afraid to share his opinions and he didn’t hold back while discussing the Florida Panthers firing Gerard Gallant. The firing took the NHL by surprise and completed what many believe was the Panthers’ move to a more analytical system despite the fact Gallant was a Jack Adams finalist last season. […]

Dabbing is pretty played out. OK, extremely played out. It takes something pretty unique to make people talk about dabbing at this point, but the KHL delivered a dab so amazing that we can’t help but feature it. Korotkov Evgeny of the KHL’s Salavat Yulaev busted out a dab which got the sporting world buzzing. […]

Two hot topics in the NHL are player participation in the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics and the future of the next collective bargaining agreement between the league and the NHLPA. In an effort to address both issues at once, the NHL proposed that the league’s players would be allowed to compete in the Olympics if […]

Matthew Tkachuk is praised for his physical style of play, but on occasion he seems to cross a line which no fan can support. While battling for position in front of the Minnesota goal, Tkachuk bent down and headbutted Marco Scandella.
