In this hard-hitting hockey recap, we look back at the best and worst moments of last season, including the continuing saga of the President’s Trophy curse and the teams that just couldn’t survive the weight of being #1. We spotlight the elusive “phantom goalies,” those once-in-a-lifetime emergency backups and one-game wonders who lived the NHL dream for a fleeting moment.

Then we turn the ice cold, diving into the darker side of the game: fatal and near-death injuries that shook the league, the players who faced lifetime bans, and the moments that pushed the rules—and bodies—to the limit.

Finally, we skate into the history books with the most penalty-laden game ever played, complete with chaos, misconduct, and one very familiar team.
