During last night’s game between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre, we saw a tale of two goaltenders who were having themselves two very different nights.

Celebration Fail: Cane’s Jussi Jokinen Scores Goal, Takes a Spill (Video)
Even if you do fancy yourself a good ice skater, if you have never played hockey you probably don’t realize just how difficult it is to do some of the things those guys go on skates. Personally, I can skate around in circles while holding a girl’s hand, and I can even do it while [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 3/14/12 — Cam Ward
Having won nine of their previous eleven games heading into last night’s contest, it almost seemed as though it would take a superhuman effort from the Canes in order for them to escape with the victory. Luckily for Carolina, they would get the superhuman effort they needed from their goaltender, Cam Ward. The Blues may [...]

Canadian National Anthem Botched At Sabres Game (Video)
The Canadian national anthem is rarely performed at hockey games that do not involve Canadian teams, and perhaps they should keep it that way following this debacle by the anthem singer during last night’s game between the Buffalo Sabres and the Carolina Hurricanes at the First Niagara Center. Her error (It’s supposed to be “From [...]

The Washington Capitals didn’t put up much of a fight on the scoreboard during last night’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes, as they were thrashed by a score of 5-0.

Last night’s game between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Pittsburgh Penguins treated us to one of the best fights of the 2011-12 NHL season, and a strong candidate for “Frozen Fisticuffs Fight of the Year.” And we nearly missed it all, as the game cut to a commercial seconds before Tim Gleason and Deryk Engelland [...]

No Brotherly Love Here: Eric Staal Crushes Brother Marc (Video)
While growing up under the same roof in Thunder Bay, Ontario, there were likely several occasions that saw Eric Staal get physical with his younger brother Marc while playing hockey out on the pond.

It Sounds Like The Microphones Were A Little Too Close To The Ice During This Islanders Game (Videos)
It is no secret that the game of hockey is littered with on-ice and locker room expletives between players, coaches and referees. And if it was a secret, that secret was certainly revealed during HBO’s 24/7: Road to the Winter Classic series, thanks in large part to Capitals’ head coach Bruce Boudreau. Although the NHL [...]
