The sole reason why the Penguins have been one of the most consistent and best teams in the league is due to their role players. Enter Pascal Dupuis
The title could be misleading. But it’s true. David did beat Goliath at Rexall Place in Edmonton on Wednesday night. We all expected Canada to win, and not only win but dominate. How could they possibly be considered David? If anything, when it comes to hockey Canada is Goliath X2. But the sentiment does ring ...
In today’s age of tweets, iPhones and blogging, you likely already know that the United States was defeated 4-1 by Finland. Finland? The team that was crushed by the insurmountable Canadians 8-1 in the tournament opener beat perennial contenders the United States? Affirmative. Have they proved their label as tournament darkhorse?

He tallied 25 points in 42 games as a freshman at Michigan ...

Before there were “Miracles” and “Winter Classics” they played Olympic hockey outdoors in the North Country of New York. 1932 marked the first time Lake Placid, NY had hosted the Winter games and was the first time a North American city held ...
Davis Drewiske has been making himself visible to Los Angeles Kings fans lately, dropping two pucks into the net in two games. So just who is Davis Drewiske?
