Islanders' Matthew Schaefer Sets Another Absurd NHL Record

At some point you run out of ways to say a kid is doing something no one has ever done before.  Tuesday night in New York, Matthew Schaefer played an absurd 31 minutes and 59 seconds against the Chicago Blackhawks , which is the most ice time ever logged by a teenager in NHL history.  The New York Islanders lost 4-3, fell out of a playoff spot, and are now tied with the Ottawa Senators for the second wild card in the East.  None of that changes what Schaefer did.  The 18-ye...

Quick Bites: Sloppy First Period Hurts Sharks Playoff Chances

Pregame: The Sharks started their 3-game road trip in Nashville tonight in front of a sold-out Nashville crowd.

With the Sharks chasing the Preds for the second wild card spot in the West, it was imperative that they put their best food forward in what was the biggest g...

Make It A Hockey Night

The cat to the left is not HBIC CEO Meg, but Meg is sleeping noisily next to me. I sit here and giggle quietly as she snores audibly enough that she's competing with the hockey game on TV, but I'm somewhat envious of her as I could use more sleep after what was a busy weekend.
