We're still seeking good video of this, but late in Tampa Bay's 5-3 win over the Leafs a Toronto fan somehow managed to scale the glass and make his way onto the ice during a timeout. The fan, we're told, ran around on the ice, squatted in a faceoff circle, then got pummeled by security. Send us vid...

A Cold War Philly Beatdown, Illustrated
Geopolitics in the Crimea made you wistful for Cold War-era sports showdowns, where simple games became struggles between global powers? Well, illustrator Stephen Halker and the good people over at Victory Journal have a beautifully jingoistic tale of the 1976 game between the Broad Street Bullies ...
Six Ways The Florida Panthers Want To Screw Broward County
The Panthers want public funds to fix up the BB&T Center. Something in the neighborhood of $80 million in tax subsidies would be nice. They're asking because it'd be corporately negligent for a franchise not to at least try to milk taxpayers out of cash for something that won't economically contribu...
Senators Player Autographs Reply To "Twitter Troll"
Way back in November, Adnan, an editor at Sens blog Silver Seven, offered up a snarky tweet about Ottawa defenseman Marc Methot. It wasn't particularly mean, and it didn't include Methot's Twitter handle, but Methot, presumably searching for his name, noticed. He replied with the old "you've never p...
Fan Tries To Take Selfie In Front Of Jaromir Jagr, Gets Jagrbombed
Just great work by everyone involved here. That's perfect framing by the selfie taker to get himself, Jagr, and bewildered Devils lady Cory Schneider in the picture, and Jagr has just the right mix of mischievousness and nonchalance that's needed to pull off a good photobomb. ...
Failed Prediction Forces MSG Hockey Analyst To Eat A Hat On-Air

Hockey Fans Using Rich Peverley To Shit On LeBron James Are The Worst
From the second it was reported that Rich Peverley regained consciousness and asked to get back into the game, you knew where this was going. Peverley was going to be exploited by hockey's worst fans as an assault on LeBron James, on basketball, on any sport that isn't hockey. It was as predictable ...
Colorado Avalanche And Imagine Dragons Team Up For Dumb Music Video
Dammit, Avalanche. Making a good hockey hype video is not the hardest thing in the world. All you need is a decently edited highlight reel backed by a song that has, like, drums and guitars and stuff. You can even use a song from a band as insipid and annoying as Imagine Dragons! Any song will work...
There's No Meltdown Quite Like A Canucks Meltdown
I know it's hard to conceive of, but there will come a point when you actually feel sorry for Canucks fans.

Panthers Pull Off History's Worst Line Change
Even given the customary leeway and not counting the four players by the bench, that's still way too many Panthers on the ice. With the win yesterday, the Bruins have now taken eight straight from Florida, so you can't fault the Panthers for trying to even the odds....
