For the past two years I have chosen to discontinue the “Frozen Fisticuffs Fight of the Night” segment during the NHL playoffs because as many of us already know, fights rarely, if ever, take place during the post-season.

Watch Dan Boyle Score In His Own Net (Video)
With only four goals in 49 games this season, Dan Boyle is beginning to become somewhat desperate to score these days.

Nyjer Morgan has shown that he has the ability to take on several different forms, from Tony Plush to Beast Mode.

If you happened to be watching the Monday Night Football game between the 49ers and Steelers the other day, then you were treated to a bizarre spectacle.

9 Best 3rd Jerseys In The NHL
For NHL teams, third jerseys are huge cash cows. That’s because gullible hockey fans (like myself) will go out and buy the third jersey replicas the day they are released, even though they already own their teams’ “regular” jerseys. On top of that, historic franchises (like the Rangers or Maple Leafs) can change up these [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 5/22/11 — Henrik Sedin
After taking a 2-0 lead in their Western Conference Finals series against the San Jose Sharks, the Vancouver Canucks did not want to return home after yesterday’s game with the series tied up at 2-2.
