McKenzie: Wisniewski check was Grand Slam of illegal hits

The latest example of a questionable hit is Ducks blueliner James Wisniewski's hit on Chicago's Brent Seabrook from Monday night's game in Anaheim. As soon as TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie saw it, it struck him as the Grand Slam of illegal hits. ...more

McKenzie: Campbell, Gregson to attend Bruins-Pens rematch

NHL VP Colin Campbell and director of officiating Terry Gregson will both attend the Bruins-Penguins game Thursday night, the first meeting of the two teams since Matt Cooke knocked out Marc Savard with a shoulder to the head that may spell the end of Savard's season. ...more

McKenzie: NHL's head shot debate differennt than other leagues

A couple of years ago I would have been in favour of a blanket head checking policy in the National Hockey League, but I have come around on the issue. After looking closer at the NHL with regards to head checking I really believe it is different than every other league in the world. ...more

McKenzie: GMs to make recommendations on head shots Wednesday

I think that we can expect on Wednesday that there will be a very specific recommendation by the NHL general managers on the issue of head-shots in the game. ...more

McKenzie: NHL needs clear, tangible definition of what's legal

When it comes to Matt Cooke's hit on Marc Savard and the head shot debate it has re-ignited, the bottom line is, 'Do you want to have a legal check that allows a player to take his shoulder and put it into another player's head?' The GM meetings will be an interesting forum for that one. ...more

McKenzie: Predators decide to keep Hamhuis, focus on playoffs

The Nashville Predators decided not to trade Dan Hamhuis and instead they will focus on their playoff drive. With Denis Grebeshkov, Dustin Boyd, and Hamhuis in the lineup, the Predators are a much better team today than they were a few days ago. ...more

McKenzie: Pens follow pattern by adding pieces at deadline

When you really think about it, Alexei Ponikarovsky is likely to be one of the bigger fish that moves between now and the trade deadline. The Pittsburgh Penguins are a centre-centric team with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. With 19 goals and 41 points on the season, Ponikarovksy is not an insignificant player that the Penguins have acquired. ...more

McKenzie: Crosby's Olympic gear has gone missing

Alert one of the many Royal Canadian Mounted Police, real and otherwise, at the closing ceremonies of the Olympics. Sidney Crosby’s gear has gone missing. The man who scored Canada’s Golden Goal to win Olympic gold in Vancouver returned home without the stick and gloves he used to score them. Maybe his helmet, too, although no one is sure on that just yet. ...more

McKenzie: Ovechkin leading charge to Sochi for 2014

Alexander Ovechkin may have been knocked out of the Olympic hockey tournament, but he is not actually gone. Ovechkin has stayed in Vancouver and there is all sorts of speculation he is going to carry the Russian flag at the closing ceremonies. ...more

McKenzie: Breakdowns when we least expected them

The simple fact of the matter is that Canada's players hit the panic button against Slovakia on Friday night. They had a 3-0 lead with less than nine minutes to go and even after the bad first goal by Lubomir Visnovsky, they still had a two goal lead to play with. ...more
