It's hard for me to look at the NHL and believe that they care about the game. Some people who work for the NHL likely have good intentions when it comes to making the game better and holding onto some of its traditions, but we know of one road that was paved with good intentions. I say that with all the cynicism I can muster because it seems like the NHL is going to allow Fanatics to dress its players in another league-wide jersey promotion that has all the hallmarks of a cash grab. As Jason ...

It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all.

The Edmonton Oilers may have figured out their third line. On Tuesday evening, Adam Henrique went down with an injury, playing just two shifts. That meant the Oilers needed to be creative as they were down to 11 forwards. One line that was put together in the second and third period was Ike Howard, Jack…

On January 7th in 2010, FSN Pittsburgh producer Lowell MacDonald Jr. withheld a definitive replay from the NHL during a late second period Simon Gagne goal review. Absent the authoritative angle officials deemed the video evidence inconclusive and ruled no goal. After play resumed, prohibiting a reversal of the incorrect call, the angle was aired making clear that the Philadelphia Flyers should

On January 7th in 2010, notorious cheapshot Ben Eager of the Atlanta Thrashers sucker-punched Toronto Maple Leafs forward Colby Armstrong late in the second period of play with his team trailing by a score of 5-1. After the game, Eager continued his assault on Armstrong accusing him of being "one of the biggest phonies in the league". Sporting a patch over his right eye, Armstrong offered a two

One of my favorite streaks in all of sports was in serious danger this weekend, but just barely survived: The Chicago Bears have still never had a 4,000-yard passer. (Yes, I know you think you clicked on an NHL article. Don't worry, you did. We’re just going to use the NFL as a jumping off point. Give me a few paragraphs and we’ll get to the hockey, I promise.)
