• I Forgot About Marty

Marty McSorley isn't a player that one forgets about thanks to his impact on the game when he played. The 62 year-old enforcer was a decent defenceman who was known more for throwing knuckles than making crisp passes, but he was memorable. Whether it was the illegal stick in the 1993 Stanley Cup Final or the stick-swinging incident against the Vancouver Canucks, McSorley may also be remembered for...2026

• Penguins Ground Jets in Shootout (!!) 5-4
When Kyle Dubas acquired three-time Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson back in August 2023, I remember gazing at his ’22-23 statistics with awe-struck wonder. It was one thing for Paul Coffey to regularly rack up 100-point seasons while skating with offensive giants like Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux during the heyday of run ‘n’ gun hockey. But for Karlsson to tally 25 goals and 101 points in mo...2026

• Penguins Bludgeon Blackhawks, 7-3
Following unseasonably warm temps during the day, it was a chilly night in Chicago. A chili night, too. Let me explain. Back in the day, local Wendy’s restaurants would give out free bowls of chili to patrons who produced ticket stubs when the Penguins scored seven or more goals. A fairly common occurrence back in the halcyon days of Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr. The big guns last night, with a...2025

• Explain The Direction

While he cannot sign a contract until July 1, the fact that the Winnipeg Jets went bananas with as many images of Jonathan Toews as they could today means that the former Chicago Blackhawks forward is coming home to resume his career at age 37 after leaving the game in 2023. Jonathan Toews will be a Winnipeg Jets forward in 2025-26 based upon all the reports today, and I have no problem with the J...2025

• Recap: Marchand makes history, Panthers one win away from another championship

Sergei Belski-Imagn Images We’re witnessing greatness. The Conn Smythe has Brad Marchand’s name written all over it at this point. The 37-year-old became the first player since 1988 to score six goals in one Stanley Cup Final. Marchand scored twice to join Esa Tikkanen in the history books. To further illustrate the absurdity of this, Tikkanen was 23 years old when he achieved the same fe...2025

• Friday Question: Which athlete do you hate the most?

Time to be a big old bunch of haters. In a perfect world there’d be no hate. I don’t know if John Lennon said that, or Elmo from Sesame Street. Obviously we all should aspire to hate less and love more, but when it comes to sports that’s not an option. Naturally there are athletes we just grow to hate with a red-hot passion. People who get our blood boiling every single time they set food on the f...2025

Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images And we were there to witness it all. DENVER — Gabriel Landeskog is now forever etched in sports history. In just his second professional game in 1,041 days, "The Captain" found the back of the net. With 6:50 remaining in the second period, Brock Nelson found Landeskog all alone in the slot and whisked him a pass. Landy subsequently unloaded a scorching slapshot pas...2025

I'll be honest in saying that there aren't a lot of books that I've read where the complete history of a team is both described and brought to life through pictures. For some teams, their histories would occupy volumes of books as there would be all sorts of key moments in those franchises' histories. For others, the stories would be shorter, but there still would be big moments. For a franchise l...2025

While it may be a historic moment tonight and will certainly be historic upon Alex Ovechkin's next goal, it might be time for a disclaimer: I really don't care if Ovechkin breaks Wayne Gretzky's career goal-scoring record.

If you're an NHL fan, you've likely known for some time that the numbers zero and double-zero are both outlawed by the league.
