Danny Briere Nets Game-Winner With 0.5 Seconds Left
It's early, but Colorado Avalanche center Danny Briere has already given us one of the craziest highlights of the year, swatting home a game-winning goal against the Bruins today with just milliseconds remaining on the clock. ...
Jonathan Quick Slips A Fan An Autograph From The Bench
This is from a Kings' preseason game in Las Vegas on Oct. 4, with the video only posted online this weekend. It shows L.A. goalie Jonathan Quick surreptitiously passing an autograph to a fan through the glass during pregame introductions, which is a pretty cool thing for a guy seconds from taking ...
Large Blue Jackets Fan Dancing In Extreme Slow Motion Is Heavenly
Meet "Dancing Kevin." He's a Columbus Blue Jackets staple, and it seems he pulled out all the stops for Saturday's home opener against the Rangers, enlisting the help of a nearby bear to guzzle multiple cans of Labatt Blue and dance with everything God gave him. And God blessed Kevin with a bountifu...
Blake Wheeler Scored Twice In 15 Seconds
The Jets romped over the Coyotes with four goals past Mike Smith in a 7:11 span of the first. That included a pair of goals by Blake Wheeler just 15 seconds apart....
Pissed Off Oilers Fan Throws Hoodie, And Phone, Onto The Ice
The Edmonton Oilers have been pretty terrible since losing the Stanley Cup Finals in 2006, and they're probably going to be terrible again this year. But Oilers fans can take solace in the fact that bitter rivals Calgary are supposed to be even worse. Winning the Battle of Alberta isn't as nice as m...
NHL, Roku Team Up To Screw Masses
The NHL is proudly touting the upgrades made to its NHL GameCenter LIVE package, which now features exclusive camera angles and all sorts of other toys for hockey fans willing to pony up the $159 that buys an all-inclusive (out-of-market) package. That's assuming you have a device that will play it,...
Tommy Wingels Pantses Jonathan Quick to Score
Hockey is finally back, and the most enticing match-up on the opening night of the season was San Jose at Los Angeles. But instead of letting the Kings celebrate on the night of their Stanley Cup banner ceremony, Sharks forward Tommy Wingels is out here making them look like fools. ...
The NHL Probably Shouldn't Hire Chris Pronger, Who's Still A Flyer
Chris Pronger hasn't played since 2011, but he remains under contract with the Flyers through 2017. That alone seems like enough to preclude Pronger taking a job in the league office. You'd think! ...
Colin Cowherd Is Right. African-Americans <em>Really</em> Don't Watch Hockey.
Colin Cowherd is a flaccid penis shaft of a man with a syphilitic soul who is paid handsomely by ESPN to spew racist and sexist and otherwise trash opinions over TV, radio, and the internet on a daily basis. That's why it was so surprising that when he talked about black people today, he was right! ...
The Thinking Fan's Guide To The 2014-15 NHL Season
We enter a very different NHL after the "Summer of Stats," and we have the Maple Leafs to thank....
The Coyotes Were Damned Close To Moving To Seattle
In July 2013, the Glendale City Council voted—barely, by a 4-3 margin—to approve a complicated lease deal that was the last possible hope of keeping the Coyotes in Arizona. A new report from the Seattle Times reveals that the NHL had a contingency plan in place if the vote went the other way: moving...
<em>Denver Post</em> Suspends Avalanche Beat Writer For Twitter Meltdown
The Denver Post yesterday announced a two-week unpaid suspension for Avalanche beat writer Adrian Dater, after he blasted a young Kings player for a three-year-old "pussy play," got into a screaming match on Twitter with just about everyone, and slid into a another writer's inbox to tell him to ...
Jaromir Jagr Remembers His Very First Goal, And His Beautiful Mullet
Maybe it's Jaromir Jagr's last season; maybe not, since he did put up 67 points for the Devils last year. But just on the chance that this'll be his last run, let's not wait for the silver anniversary. It was 24 years ago today that a bemulleted Penguins rookie scored his first NHL goal....
P.K. Subban, Tactical Farter
The Canadiens defenseman sat down for an interview on Quebec radio talk show Tout le Monde en Parle, and presumably said a whole bunch of interesting things. But forget that—here's what he said about farting on goalies:...
On Second Thought, The Flyers Will Bring Back Their Ice Girls
Last week, the Flyers' ice crew took to the rink without the lightly dressed women fans had come to expect. The crowd booed. The Flyers were listening, because during last night's preseason game, they announced the ice girls would return. The crowd, and at least one beat writer, went nuts:...
Ilya Bryzgalov Spent The Third Period Posing For Photos With Wild Fans
Ilya Bryzgalov would love Minnesota. It's a hockey-mad market with loyal fans, a media that's less combative than he's used to, and of course, lots of parks. And, Minnesota? You would love Bryz right back. You should probably keep him....
Vancouver Papers Apologize For Describing Jordan Subban As "Dark Guy"
How would you caption this photo of Vancouver Canuck Jordan Subban celebrating a goal with his teammates? Maybe you'd reference his uniform number, since it's the only one not clearly visible. Whatever the solution, "dark guy in the middle" was not it....
Jordan Staal Breaks Leg In Exhibition Game
Exhibition games continue to be the worst, this time injuring Jordan Staal. The Carolina Hurricanes center was pursuing a pass along the boards in Tuesday night's game against the Buffalo Sabres when he was checked, and his right skate got caught on the ice. Staal's leg continued to move, causing th...
Cuba Gooding Jr. Is Good At Hockey, Stripping
For some reason Academy Award-winning actor and star of Snow Dogs Cuba Gooding Jr. took part in a puck shooting contest at the United Center Tuesday, during intermission between the Blackhawks-Red Wings exhibition game. Despite suffering from the severe competitive disadvantage of having taken a r...
