Although he scored his 3rd goal of the tournament, Vancouver Canuck winger Alex Burrows and his Canadian teammates fell 4-3 to Slovakia today in what can only be described as an upset. In spite of the loss, it was a good tournament for Burrows who only played 5 games because of a concussion he suffered [...]

The bash festival that has been the NHL Playoffs isn’t funny anymore. That became obvious as Chicago’s leading scorer in the regular season, Marian Hossa, lay on the ice. 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 [...]

James Guillory-US PRESSWIRE

Since taking over as the NHL’s lead disciplinarian towards the end of last season, Brendan Shanahan has been no stranger to controversy. His failure to maintain any sort of consistency has led many to go as far as saying he’s right there with Colin Campbell, who Shanahan replaced, as far as how putrid his decision-making [...]
