Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Schenn vs. Thompson — 1/3/12
It wasn’t the most exciting bout we’ve seen, but last night’s fight between Luke Schenn of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Nate Thompson of the Tampa Bay Lightning just so happened to be the only fight to take place during yesterday’s slate of NHL games. So by default, these two men earn a spot on [...]

Leafs’ Colton Orr Was Tebowing Following A Shootout Goal (Video)
With only 11 goals and 20 points throughout his seven-year NHL career, Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer Colton Orr hasn’t had plenty of opportunities to show off his goal celebrations. He was afforded that opportunity during the Leafs Nation Fan Night at the Air Canada Center last night, and he took full advantage by getting down [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Clifford vs. Rosehill — 12/19/11
The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Los Angeles Kings don’t meet all that often during the NHL season, but they did last night and it provided hockey fans with plenty of excitement on many different levels. Not only were viewers treated to a hard fought 3-2 victory by the Kings, which required a shootout to [...]

NHL Referee Chris Rooney Sticks His Gum On The Glass (Video)
A 20 minute period can be a long time to chew a single piece of gum, especially when the game is being delayed by a bunch of penalties. NHL referee Chris Rooney ran into that problem while officiating last night’s game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Los Angeles Kings. But rather than simply [...]

Dion Phaneuf Delivers A Devastating Check On Mike Sauer (Video)
Many NHLers will probably tell you that Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Dion Phaneuf is one of the hardest hitters in the game. After being on the receiving end of one of Phaneuf’s monstrous checks, I’m almost certain that Mike Sauer would agree. With time running out in the third period of last night’s game between [...]

Predators Fan Kicks Leafs’ Joffrey Lupul Through The Glass (Video)
Here is an interesting video. It may be from last Thursday, but I just so happened to stumble across it today on YouTube. It comes from a game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena. After being called for a penalty, Leafs forward Joffrey Lupul stood along the boards with [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Rosehill vs. McGrattan — 11/17/11
It appears as though we have a new leading candidate for “Fight of the Year” honors, and this one won’t be an easy bout to beat. It took place in the third period of last night’s game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Nashville Predators, as Jay Rosehill and Brian McGrattan dropped the gloves [...]

Craig Smith Puts It Up And Over The Empty Net (Video)
In the game of hockey, shooting the puck over the net from inside the goal grease is probably harder than simply shooting it into the back of the net. With that being said, I don’t expect anyone to be applauding the Nashville Predators’ Craig Smith for accomplishing that difficult feat during last night’s game against [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Brown vs. Mills — 11/2/11
Mike Brown of the Toronto Maple Leafs has been keeping his fists awfully busy thus far this season. He entered last night’s contest against the New Jersey Devils with three fights on the season, and one “Frozen Fisticuffs Fight of the Night” appearance, and he added another to his total after dropping the gloves with [...]

Six minutes into the third period of last night’s game between the New Jersey Devils and the Toronto Maple Leafs, Devils’ goaltender Martin Brodeur made a stick save on Phil Kessel that is bound to land the 39-year-old on highlight packages around North America.

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Brown vs. Newbury — 10/27/11
The award for most unlikely fight of the night goes to Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins and P.K. Subban of the Montreal Canadiens, as these two young stars showed that their hands can do more than just put the puck in the net. Although, I guess there is nothing unlikely about any fight that [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 10/19/11 — Phil Kessel
During last season’s NHL Fantasy All-Star Draft, Phil Kessel had to suffer through the embarrassment of being selected last overall by his fellow peers. That must have motivated him throughout the off-season, because if that draft were to take place right now, he would very likely be the first overall pick. That is how good [...]
