Video: Incredible KHL Action from the Month of January
NHL hockey players are by far the best in the world but that doesn’t mean there isn’t great hockey being played outside of North America. The Russian professionals in the Kontinental Hockey League are extremely skilled and in many aspects more entertaining than even their NHL counterparts. If you ever get sick and tired of [...]

TweetThe Detroit Red Wings Tie NHL Record for Consecutive Home Wins
The Detroit Red Wings are a legendary NHL Franchise. They’re an original six club with 11 Stanley Cup championships, most among any U.S. based teams.

Before Joe Sakic, the greatest Quebec Nordique was Peter Stastny. Over his long career Sakic uprooted Stastny as the face of a franchise that moved to Colorado. But the allure of Rookie of the Year, Stastny, and the reunion with his brothers, Anton and Marian, has always been a story line for Colorado/Quebec. The Stastny [...]
TweetWith Avs Loss, Exit Varlamov
Semyon Varlamov should have cost himself the opportunity to play in net for this team for the rest of the season. As long as the Avs are in contention, his services are no longer necessay. Varlamov’s uninspired performance Tuesday night against the Edmonton Oilers was his third loss in a row. While Varlamov is not [...]
