If you want haymakers, we’ve got haymakers, courtesy of the Philadelphia Flyers’ Jody Shelley and the Phoenix Coyotes’ Nolan Yonkman.

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.

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Bradley vs. Craig — 2/21/11
Revenge doesn’t always work out quite like it was originally planned. The Pittsburgh Penguins’ Ryan Craig learned that the hard way last night during a game against the Washington Capitals.

The Stat Line Of The Night — 2/21/11 — Matt Moulson
The New Jersey Devils are not the only bottom-feeding team using a hot streak to make one final push for the playoffs.

Before you begin to believe that Carey Price is as creepy as the mask he was wearing during yesterday’s NHL Heritage Classic, we should inform you that the design by artist David Arrigo, which featured the look of an old-school goalie mask with eyes on the top and a mouth on the bottom, was a [...]

Check Out This Nut-Shot From The Heritage Classic (Video)
Nothing says a Heritage Classic quite like hot Tim Horton’s coffees, frozen beers and a friendly nut-shot. During a second intermission performance by Metric, one fan’s over-exuberance became another fan’s golden opportunity.

Troy Bodie and Mark Fraser have seen each other before in the minors as they hooked up for a pair of fights during the 2007 season while playing for the Springfield Falcons and the Lowell Devils, respectively.

The Stat Line Of The Night — 2/16/11 — Alexander Semin
Midway through the third period of last night’s game between the Washington Capitals and the Anaheim Ducks, it appeared as though “The Stat Line of the Night” would come down to a choice between two Ducks players; Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry.

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Van Riemsdyk To The Rescue — 2/15/11
We can’t really credit either the Philadelphia Flyers’ James Van Riemsdyk or the Tampa Bay Lightning’s Randy Jones for providing us with an exciting bout during their game last night. Fact of the matter is they didn’t. However, we can credit Van Riemsdyk for sticking up for his teammate after fellow Flyer Claude Giroux was [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Westgarth vs. Shelley — 2/13/11
There are three things in life that are guarenteed. One is taxes. Two is death. And three is that you will always get an exciting fight from the Los Angeles Kings’ Kevin Westgarth. In his first full NHL season, he has been involved in ten fights through 39 games. Six of those bouts have been [...]

Picture Of The Day: Legs Aren’t Supposed To Bend Like That
Ouch! This is pretty much what it looked like the moment Keith Ballard’s healthy right knee turned into a sprained right knee that is expected to keep him out of the Vancouver Canucks’ lineup for three to four weeks. During Monday night’s game against the Ottawa Senators, Ballard became the latest in a long line [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Engelland vs. Westgarth — 2/10/11
With the likes of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Chris Kunitz still recovering from injuries, there is no denying the fact that the Pittsburgh Penguins’ lineup is lacking in terms of offensive threats.
