Daniel Carcillo Channels His Inner Pageant Queen After A Fight
Blackhawks forward and noted shit-stirrer Daniel Carcillo didn't appreciate Brayden McNabb's forearm in his face in last night's game, so he fought McNabb, and "won." Carcillo, a former King, then waved like a pageant queen to the Los Angeles crowd as he exited the ice. How polite!...

The Dallas Stars defenseman scored this thunderous goal to take a 1-0 lead over the Oilers in the first period tonight.

God Help Me, I <em>Do</em> Care About The Maple Leafs' Stupid Salute Controversy
The Maple Leafs—or more specifically, their fans and their media—have a talent. Every controversy seems to immediately skip a stage and go directly to the meta.
