Former NHL coach and current CBC commentator Don Cherry tends to speak quickly, and it doesn’t help that his suits talk over him, but Reddit user Doopus16 provided a service to the public by transcribing two of Cherry’s Coach’s Corner segments. The result might not be that beneficial, but the replay value is strong.

The U.S. Pond Hockey Championships were held this past weekend in Minneapolis. It’s supposed to be kind of kitsch and old school—“hockey the way nature intended” is their motto. While I did not see anyone using magazines affixed to their shins with duct tape, as the website’s folksy history section maintains, it was…

Hockey writers and podcasters Dave Lozo of Vice Sports, Sean “Down Goes Brown” McIndoe, and Greg Wyshynski of Puck Daddy have a new book called The 100 Greatest Players In NHL History (And Other Stuff): An Arbitrary Collection of Arbitrary Lists. They give their own ranking of the “NHL 100,” as well as additional…

The helmet: a useful tool for keeping your brains intact. Also, apparently a weapon?

Adam Vay of the Quad City Mallards—a real team in the ECHL, I swear—is not someone you wan to scrap with. The goalie is an avid MMA practitioner, but it seems that Cincinnati Cyclones keeper Michael House didn’t know that, because he tried to throw hands last night. It did not end well.

I wasn’t on the internet last night, so my first exposure to the mess that happened over in the hockey blog corner of the internet was this apology letter. Here are the first two lines:

Brock Lesnar is halfway through a year-long USADA doping suspension, and he’s apparently filling part of the MMA-shaped void in his life with hockey. The Winnipeg Jets had him over last night, and he promptly doomed their season by stepping on a team logo seal in the center of the locker room. I’m gonna blame Mathieu…

“Shit, huh?” is how Columbus Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella opened tonight’s press conference after his team was blown out 5-0 by the Washington Capitals.

The camera lingers on the Stars bench. Slowly, it pans up and to the left before settling on a pair of fans just above the tunnel. A subtle zoom reveals: it’s a dog.

Why no one has made a cheesy sports movie about an emergency goalie getting to achieve his dream for one night is a mystery to me, because emergency goalies are some of the best cheesy sports stories that can regularly happen in real life. A 31-year-old bank manager who played club hockey at Arizona State, suiting up for the Coyotes! A former video scout who failed to walk onto his college hockey team, signing a one-day contract for the Sabres! These stories are cheesy as hell, nothing really happens in them, and they’re still fucking great!

The U.S. beat Canada 3-1 at the World Juniors today to take Group B, and in doing so earned the raising of the Stars And Stripes. Alas, Canada was unable to complete that task either—and in doing so provided us one final cap-off of what was a stellar 2016 for this country.

New Jersey Devils defenseman John Moore had to be stretchered off the ice after a hard hit into the boards from the Capitals’ Tom Wilson during Saturday’s game. A replay showed Moore’s head bouncing off the glass before he collapsed on the ice, where he lay for several minutes. Several of his teammates helped lift him onto the stretcher.

Coyotes goalie Mike Smith has been known to take out his frustrations on his stick, and he did so once again after letting five pucks into his net during tonight’s game against the Rangers.

The U.S. National Junior hockey team took on Russia in a preliminary round game at the 2017 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship today, and I am happy to report that our skilled and cunning young men sent the shiftless Russians home with a loss.

Hello out there. We’re on the air. It’s Hockey Night tonight. Tension grows, the whistle blows, and the puck goes down the ice…*ahem* Sorry. Anyway, Amazon is having a sale, just in time for Christmas, on some pretty nice NHL gear. Celebrate the best game you can name with sweatshirts, tees, and some pretty nice hats, that you can only hope you’ll lose during the next game you go to.

It’s not a good night for goalies in Tampa. First came an injury to Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop, on a seemingly routine save of a shot from rookie Nick Jensen in the first period. Though the play seemed innocuous enough, Bishop soon left the game, and the team later announced that he was out with a lower-body injury and would not return.

Oilers winger Patrick Maroon bagged himself a goal in a 3-2 overtime win against the Blues last night, but he waited until after the game to submit his highlight of the night.

Most athletes will tell you that they prefer some degree of difficulty, because if there’s no challenge, they have too much time to think over the sort of act that comes naturally to their muscle memory. For Dinamo Minsk winger Sergei Drozd here, it might’ve been that. Or it might’ve been a goddamn puck that just wouldn’t flatten out.

Henrik Lundqvist got the Lund Qvisted right out of him by Cody Eakin in the first period of the Rangers’ game against the Stars tonight, losing his mask in the process. Eakin received a ten-minute penalty for his trouble, and Lundqvist was examined by a team doctor.
