I want to commend the NHL for finally admitting they were wrong and for proving what we have been saying for the last several seasons, the disciplinary program is flawed. The 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs have been stained by the bad blood of cheap shots and dangerous violent attacks. Instead of enjoying eight really good [...]

The hit by Raffi Torres has already landed the Coyote an indefinite suspension, but the damage to Hossa and the Blackhawks could finish the team off [...]

The Los Angeles Kings made history by becoming the first eight seed to go up in a series 3-0, while back in Motown, “Hockey Town” got a jolt. The Eastern Conference will dominate headlines with the Crosby-Giroux fight, while the West series are still very compelling.
