The Paul MacLean Doppelganger Is Back, and this Time He’s Behind the Opposing Team’s Bench (Video)
Is it just me, or are NHL teams taking playoff gamesmanship to a whole new level these days? Last year, during the Stanley Cup Finals between the Kings and Devils, adult film star Taylor Stevens and her rather impressive rack somehow ended up right behind Devils coach Peter DeBoer. Of course, some may say that [...]

Canadiens and Senators Engage in Epic Playoff Line Brawl (Videos)
You generally don’t see as many hockey fights during the playoffs as you do in the regular season. The reason is that, during the playoffs, every single minute is crucial, and every single player is needed. If a guy isn’t deemed absolutely crucial to his team, then he isn’t in the lineup. So teams just [...]

Sabres’ Steve Ott Licks Jeff Halpern’s Face (Video)
Thanks to Buffalo Sabres center Steve Ott, you may soon be hearing something at NHL arenas that you never thought you’d hear… “Two minutes for licking.” Yes, licking. Nowhere in the NHL rulebook does it say you’re not allowed to lick another player, but that’s only because nobody ever tried…until last night. The Montreal Canadiens [...]

Carey Price Was On, Cam Ward Was Not Last Night (Videos)
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. On the one hand, there was Canes’ starting goaltender, Cam Ward, who did manage to make 23 saves on the evening, but there were [...]

Habs’ Carey Price Takes a Puck to the Groin During Warm-Ups (Video)
You would think that, with frozen pieces of rubber flying at them at 80 mph, hockey goalies would have enough padding around their “man equipment” to make sure nothing bad can happen. But apparently that is not the case. Before last night’s Bruins-Canadiens tilt at the Bell Centre in Montreal, during the pre-game skate, Montreal’s [...]

P.K. Subban Tries His Hand at K-9 Training During Lockout (Video)
The NHL lockout is now several months old, and it looks like they may not play any hockey at all this year. As a result, more and more players have decided to stop holding out for a resolution and instead sign with a European club in order to keep their skills sharp. For example, St. [...]

Canadiens’ Defenseman P.K. Subban Is Moonlighting as a Weatherman During NHL Lockout (Video)
Unfortunately for hockey fans, this stupid NHL lockout is still going strong, and it doesn’t look like there is an end in sight. That means the majority of your favorite players—like Henrik Zetterberg, Evgeni Malkin, and Claude Giroux—will remain in Europe for the time being, playing for lesser clubs in random countries. Of course, not [...]

15 Best Stanley Cup Champion Rings
As I watched the Philadelphia Flyers finish off the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday to close out that bizarre, violent, high-scoring playoff series, one of the first thoughts to pop into my head was, “well, I guess Sid and Evgeni won’t be getting new rings this year. Normally I don’t even think of championship rings when [...]

Habs’ Goalie Peter Budaj Assists On Opposing Team’s Goal (Video)
Peter Budaj had himself quite the night in goal last night, as he stopped 14 of the 16 shots he faced during the Montreal Canadiens’ 5-2 victory, and he even assisted on one of the goals. Although, it should be noted that the assist we speak of did come on a goal by the Tampa [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Gudbranson vs. White — 3/27/12
When the Florida Panthers drafted Erik Gudbranson with their third-overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, they knew that they were getting a tough, hard-nosed defenseman that would someday become a physical force at the NHL level. Little did they know that it would take him only a couple of years before he was [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Staubitz vs. McCormick — 3/21/12
There was only one fight in the NHL last night, but it was a good one, as Brad Staubitz and Cody McCormick dropped the gloves and went toe-to-toe during a Northeast Division battle between the Buffalo Sabres and the Montreal Canadiens. With a spot in the playoffs on the line, the Sabres were in desperate [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Lucic vs. Komisarek — 3/19/12
Dating back to Mike Komisarek’s days with the Montreal Canadiens, he and Milan Lucic of the Boston Bruins have had their fair share of face-to-face encounters. Now a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Komisarek still gets to see the Bruins and Lucic on a regular basis (as long as he doesn’t find himself watching [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Cowen vs. Nokelainen — 3/14/12
The Montreal Canadiens’ Petteri Nokelainen doesn’t do much fighting on the ice, and we now know why after watching him take a flurry of uppercuts during a bout with the Ottawa Senators’ Jared Cowen last night. When the two combatants dropped their gloves during the latter stages of the opening period, it appeared as though [...]

Canadiens’ Erik Cole High-Fives Referee After Goal (Video)
Heading into last night’s game against the Ottawa Senators, the Montreal Canadiens’ Erik Cole had celebrated 26 goals on the season. After slipping a rebound past Sens goalie Ben Bishop in the opening period, he celebrated his 27th goal of the season in a slightly different manner than his previous 26, as he high-fived the [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Brown vs. Staubitz — 3/3/12
Despite the fact that both teams are sitting near the bottom of the NHL’s standings, the rivalry between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens is as fierce as ever. That was evident during Saturday night’s game between the two clubs, as a hit by the Canadiens’s Brad Staubitz on Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf [...]
