It was on this day in 1996 that the Montreal Canadiens played their first game in their new arena, the Molson Centre.  The Canadiens hosted the New York Rangers and beat them by a score of 4-2.
The arena was named after Molson, Inc.  a brewing company that owned the team at the time the arena [...]

We’ve seen Alex Ovechkin score goals the pretty way, but it is no secret that the Caps sniper is capable of doing things the hard way as well.  Last night, with his team down by two goals late in the second period, Ovi’s grittier side would once again shine bright at the Bell Center in [...]

Killer start — almost literally — in the game last night between the Montreal Canadiens and the St. Louis Blues.
With just under 13:00 minutes left in the 1st period, the Blues tried to clear a puck out of their zone. Habs goalie Carey Price came out of the crease to keep it alive, but ventured [...]

One of the perks that comes with sitting  front row at a hockey game is banging on the glass as the players skate past.  The boards also serve as an applause device, so any time something is worth cheering for, you can bang your little palms out on the glass.  It’s louder and it’s a [...]

The eighth week of NHL Fantasy 3 Stars has some names that may surprise you as they aren’t necessarily fantasy studs but more of the average or depth variety which isn’t a knock on them as they are good players and legit fantasy options. But, as you can see by the picture, there was one [...]

Total Pro Sports – This week we see an Eastern team fall from grace and another start to play up to expectations and climb up the standings. Plus, the Leafs still looking for the ever elusive first win of the season.
The biggest loser in our NHL Power Rankings this week were the New York Rangers [...]

Total Pro Sports – The Colorado Avalanche have been superb so far this season, and they can add winning with a 4-on-7 to their resume.  4-on-7 sounds unconventional, but that is exactly what happened last night in the Avalanche-Canadiens game.  It wasn’t exactly intentional cheating like Joe Mauer did when he stole signs, it was [...]
