"Mediocre" doesn't seem to fit here. Did you post the wrong ones? These ones are awesome.

Probably a headline editor, great gig, did the same thing for my journalism class in high school for the school paper easiest job ever lol

 

[Garbageyuk]

Me. You’ve got some nerve to call them mediocre. Let’s see some of your puns.

C'mon Palat Twist is great.

Welcome to “journalism”

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Probably the person writing the article, or the copyeditor. That's assuming NHL employs copyeditors.

 

[Diamonddog01]

I also liked “Nightmare on Helm Street” from earlier in the playoffs.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Bryz-ness as usual

 

[Hennessy]

Why was the scarecrow given an award?
For being outstanding in his field.

Writing for the league website isn't journalism

I've got to assume by now NHL.com puns are a beloved quirk among fans like the IIHF power rankings

 

[Bone Breaker]

meh I have seen a lot worse than these in other media.

 

[Montreal Shadow]

I’m also almost certain one was The Crosby Show. Didn’t age too well though.

 

[Video Nasty]

Pundits.

IMO this is way better than generic headlines. Nothing wrong with giving the site some personality.

Hockey Canada big heads thought it was ok, though.

[powerbomb]

The same person who writes the jokes on popsicle sticks. They are both generally known to the world, yet remain completely anonymous, kind of the Banksy to the world of puns. I'm just glad knowing they've never compromised on their artistic integrity, this mysterious writer!

 

[The Marquis]

These rule. I applaud all fun that isn’t at the expense of others.

These puns are just good clean silly fun, what a strange thing to complain about.
