Teenage Girl With Brain Tumor Gets Concussed By Drunk San Jose Sharks Fan

Sean Newell — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:30:00 EST

Maggie Herger is a 16 year old Vancouver Canucks fan with a brain tumor who recently had a run in with the fine sports fans of California. Maggie was assaulted and battered by a drunken female San Jose fan while at a Canucks-Sharks game at the "Shark Tank" with her sister Maya, who gave her the tickets as a Christmas gift. She was taken away by paramedics and later informed by doctors that she suffered a concussion. Despite being confined to her bed with nausea, a spinning head and neck pain, her family was relieved to hear that the tumor—now much smaller and benign following surgery four years ago—was not affected, though it remains close to an artery.

Ben Eager Was The Most Interesting Man In The World Last Night

Barry Petchesky — Thu, 19 May 2011 10:35:20 EDT

Eager was all over the place for San Jose: pancaking Daniel Sedin against the glass, trash talking a prostrate Roberto Luongo (after pulling the Sharks to within 4), and, of course, getting flashed in the penalty box. Call it the EagerTrick: a goal, a scuffle, and boobs. (Video NSFW at the end) More »

Does The NHL Have The Balls To Continue Their Head Shot Crackdown In The Playoffs?

Barry Petchesky — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 12:00:37 EDT

The league's done a top-notch job of saying and doing the right things as their NFL counterparts get blasted on ignoring head trauma. New rules against cheap shots and hits on defenseless players are on the books, and have been clearly expressed to the players. Everyone knows what you can't do. But there's been well-deserved criticism of their inconsistent discipline. More »

Sharks GM Has Competitively Attractive Daughter

David Matthews — Mon, 17 May 2010 15:00:55 EDT

Jeremy Roenick Doesn't Daydream; He's Too Busy Giving Other People Nightmares

skeets — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 11:45:24 EST

• And I'm Not Even Counting The Wraparounds. Nineteen years after he scored his first NHL goal, Jeremy Roenick finally netted number 500 in the Sharks' 4-1 victory over the Coyotes. J.R. became just the third American-born player to reach 500 goals, and ranks 40th in goals and 44th in points on the career lists. But here's what I don't understand: Why does the NHL still refuse to recognize the 900 some-odd goals I scored with Roenick over a three-day period back in '94? Was it because I had mono? More »
