The puck has dropped on the start of the 2016-2017 NHL season. Here is a quick preview of what you can expect this year.

The Stanley Cup Final matchup is set and about to get underway. This year, the San Jose Sharks will represent the West and the Pittsburgh Penguins will represent the East in the battle to see who will get to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup.

Two years ago, the Penguins blew a 3-games-to-1 lead against the Rangers. That loss in the playoffs likely sealed the fate of then Pens head coach Dan Bylsma, who was fired just five years after winning the Stanley Cup.

I am gay, I am a huge hockey fan, I play in a rec league, and I strongly believe that the NHL was wrong to suspend Andrew Shaw for the gay slur he yelled at a ref in the fourth game of the Blackhawks-Blues series.

President Barack Obama decided to “troll” visiting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday over who is better at hockey – Americans or Canadians.

A few months ago, Craig Fitzpatrick, a buddy and former rec league hockey teammate, told me that he planned to organize a blind hockey event in Washington, DC. Fitzpatrick suffers from a degenerative eye condition that has rendered him legally blind. While I thought the event sounded like a great idea, I really wasn’t sure what kind of turnout to expect.

The NHL rejected a “concussion defense” for Dennis Wideman cross-checking a referee and upheld a suspension of the Calgary Flames defenseman for 20 games on Wednesday.

Yesterday, the NHL announced the rosters for this year’s new and “improved” All Star Game. Here is a quick look at what the NHL got wrong—the top 4 players snubbed.

Police arrested Ryan Malone, then of the Tampa Bay Lightning, for possession of cocaine in April of this year. That same month, cops apprehended Jarret Stoll, then of the Los Angeles Kings, and charged him with felony cocaine possession.

NHL teams can take a look at a young player for nine games, before returning the player to the AHL or Juniors or an international team without burning a year off the prospect’s initial entry contract. It is why this week, where most teams are hitting the nine and ten game mark on the season, makes a perfect time to check in for the first look at where the race for the Calder Trophy stands.

Welcome to week three of the NHL Power 10. Believe it or not, we are going to hit the quarter pole of this shortened season this weekend! There is still plenty of hockey to be played, but with almost a

Two weeks into the NHL season and the lockout seems like a distant memory–a bad dream that has been wiped out by two weeks of on-ice action. After two weeks it is fair to say that–to my surprise–the Western Conference

NHL Power 10:  Week One edition One week into the NHL season and it already feels like we are in the middle of a playoff run and with good reason — in this compacted 48 game season, every game is

Every week, I will write an NHL Power 10 list at Breitbart Sports with commentary of where teams stand in the NHL. Before the puck drops on opening weekend, here is my pre-season Power 10 list.    This weekend, we

After a 113-day lockout, it is great for hockey fans everywhere to actually talk about hockey. The NHL announced a shortened and more compact 48-game season that kicks off this Saturday. Here are three teams that should get off to
