Nothing Like A Well-Executed Hip Check
What's better than a clean hip check, like this one by Senators defenseman Marc Methot on Coyotes winger Lucas Lessio Saturday night? A man flips upside down, falls on his ass, and doesn't get hurt. No one even tried to fight Methot after his hip check, because they knew it was flawless....
Oliver Ekman-Larsson Scores Distant Shorthanded Goal On Hapless Leafs
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson was only trying to dump the puck, but the unintended accuracy gave him his 13th goal of the season as the "shot" got past Maple Leafs goalie Jonathan Bernier. Toronto is at the point where it can't even lose a lead on an even-strength goal....

Charlie Coyle Stuns Edmonton With Breakaway, Soft-Handed Goal
The body control from Charlie Coyle is my favorite part of his game-winning goal in the third period against the Oilers. His entire body is beginning to whip around the net like he's going to attempt a wraparound, but he somehow manages to tap the puck backwards and then throw his stick out to knock...
Zach Parise Suffers Puck To The Face, Picks Up Tooth Off Ice
I know it is uncool for hockey men to wear facemasks or visors, but it seems like a really smart idea. The sport involves very long sticks, extremely sharp blades, and small pieces of frozen rubber hurtling around the rink at 100 miles per hour. Face protection in those conditions seems prudent, b...

Three Maple Leafs Fans Charged For Throwing Jerseys Onto The Ice
Toronto started off the season badly. Then they were good for a while! Now they're really bad again. Who are the real Maple Leafs? (The bad ones.) But some fans don't really have the patience for them to figure it out. During last night's humiliating 4-1 loss to Carolina, at least four fans chucked ...
Not Even Hockey Is Safe For Packers Fans Right Now
I absolutely love this. When your own team sucks—as the Vikings do—sports, in their infinite wisdom, offer you a consolation prize: exulting in the tears of your enemies. St. Paul native Ryan Rhody had seats behind the Wild's bench for last night's game, and so knew he'd end up on TV multiple times....
