Chara’s slapshot breaks Lundqvist’s mask
Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara is known for having the hardest slapshot in the entire NHL, but that didn’t stop New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist from stopping the shot with his head. Lundqvist knows the Rangers are in a must-win game four and has shown that he is willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means finishing the game with a different mask than the...
DERP ON ICE
Tuukka Rask slips, falls, allows terrible goal
We've all heard that expression "boy, he'd like to have that one back." I'm pretty sure that applies to Tuukka Rask here. In Thursday night's game, with the Bruins up 2-0, Rask moves to his left, slips somehow, and allows a Carl Haglin barely-there shot to roll on by: There's so much to love/hate about this goal, depending on what team...

Bulletin board material: “Red Wings don’t belong in the same rink as the Hawks”
First and foremost I’d like to say thank you to The Majors Detroit Facebook page follow Boris Pan for passing this one along to us. Second I would also like to say that this story has become a pretty big one as it made it’s rounds on local media as the Wings now have a 2-1 series lead heading into Game 4 tonight.
Now the story in question here is a piece (of something) written...
Dalton Thrower Suspended For Rest Of Memorial Cup For Really, Really Dirty Hit
Dalton Thrower of the Saskatoon Blades has been suspended for the rest of the Memorial Cup for an illegal hit on Taylor Leier of the Portland Winterhawks.
Somehow both officials ate their whistle on the play and Thrower didn’t spend any time in the penalty box. Needless to say, Winterhawk coach Travis Green was none too pleased.
Despite having two referees – Reagan Vetter of...
What’s crackalacking so far in the NHL playoffs
We are nearing the halfway point of the Stanley Cup pursuit and while it makes me a little sad that there are no longer three games on every night, the lighter schedule does give us a little breathing room to take a look at some of the matchups in progress.
BLACKHAWKS-RED WINGS (Red Wings lead 2-1)
The best team in the regular season is down 2-1 in the series to the surging Wings...
Brad Richards a Healthy Scratch for Rangers in Game 4 Against Bruins
Brad Richards won a Conn Smythe under John Tortorella in 2004 when the two were teaming up to win a Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning. That now seems like a very, very long time ago.
The two are now in New York, of course, and Tortorella will go into Thursday’s do-or-die Game 4 against the Bruins without Richards. The head coach has decided to make Richards a healthy scratch...
HE'S GOOD AT HOCKEY
Crosby toe-drags, scores on backhander
During the third period, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Sidney Crosby showed off his fantastic skill set on this play. He entered the zone, toe-dragged against the Ottawa Senators defenseman Chris Phillips and then pulled the puck to his backhand. He was wide open in front of Craig Anderson and let a sick backhand shot go right under the crossbar into the net. The goal gave the...
Daniel Alfredsson: Senators ‘probably’ can’t come back against Penguins
Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson is one of the most well-respected veterans in the NHL. The 40-year-old has more than 400 goals and 1,000 points in his 16-year career. When Alfredsson talks, people listen. That’s what makes his most recent comments such a major concern for Senators fans.
Ottawa dug itself into a 3-1 hole against the Pittsburgh Penguins with an embarrassing...
Bruins Throwback Thursday: Patrice Bergeron Then & Now (PHOTOS)
It can be argued that Patrice Bergeron is the heart and soul of the Boston Bruins. Some say that he should be the captain of the team. However, there is no debate that he is one of the best two way players in the NHL. Bergeron won the Selke last season as the league’s best defensive forward and is nominated this year as well.
The 10 year veteran’s (he is only 27) leadership...
Pittsburgh Penguins Fans Do the Unthinkable; Cheer For NY Rangers
As vile as it tastes. As dirty as you feel. As much as this goes against every fiber of your Penguins-fan being… Cheer for the Rangers tonight. Or at the very least hope for a mutual massacre that results in a 1-0 Rangers win. Why? Because it’s the Cup, and that’s bigger than my disdain for any division rival.
There is no such thing as a guarantee in the playoffs, and by no...
Senators Coach Paul MacLean Holds 20-Second Press Conference After Blowout Loss to Penguins (Video)
To say that Ottawa Senators head coach Paul MacLean kept things brief after his team was manhandled in a 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday would an understatement
MacLean did not take questions from the assembled media after the game, instead issuing one quick statement before walking away from the podium in a news conference that lasted all of 20 seconds.
“I think everything’s...
