Brandon Saad Set Up Patrick Kane With A Sweet Spin-O-Rama
So Brandon Saad is stealing Patrick Kane's moves now—and by that we do not mean Saad went on a weekend bender at the Tau Kap house, though one can always hope. Rather, Saad busted out the Spin-O-Rama—which Kaner had learned from Denis Savard—during last night's win over the Wild....
Lightning Defensemen Combine For Humiliating Own Goal
The timing couldn't have been worse. With 1:49 left in regulation, just 40 seconds after the Lightning had taken the lead on the defending champ Blackhawks, Matt Carle inexplicably and forcefully fired a pass back at Radko Gudas. It deflected off a surprised Gudas's skate, skittering past Ben Bishop...
Bruins Beat Sharks With A Literal Last-Second Goal

John Tavares Would Like To Show You His Disgusting Tooth Implants
We all kind of cringed/wretched a little bit when Islanders captain John Tavares yanked out one his front teeth right there on the bench a few weeks ago. So (ugh) let's re-live (gulp) it by checking out (covers eyes) what his mouth looks like now (runs away from computer)....
If You Weren't Picturing Mike Milbury Having Group Sex, You Are Now
Last night's "30 for 30" was Big Shot, a look at John Spano, the con man who briefly purchased the Islanders before the NHL realized he didn't have any money. (A similar scenario would play out in Nashville just 11 years later.) The most prurient part was then-GM Mike Milbury recounting how Spano of...
Antti Niemi Makes A Ridiculous Leg Save On A Baffled Todd Bertuzzi
The NHL scoring leaders proved last night that they can win with defense—a 1-0 shootout win kept the Sharks undefeated in regulation, and it was capped off by this blatantly unfair save by Antti Niemi on Todd Bertuzzi....
We Have An NHL Goalie Goal
With 0.1 seconds left on the clock in Saturday's Coyotes-Red Wings game, Phoenix goaltender Mike Smith scored his first career goal after flinging the puck into Detroit's empty net. Whether or not Smith was actually aiming for the net, he doesn't have to admit it to anyone now....
The Buffalo Sabres Think They Can Dance
Via For the Win, the Sabres held a dance-off after practice today. They're 1-7, so they're rather adept at flitting aimlessly across the ice without any musical accompaniment....
Gleeful Avs Announcer Basically Says Injured Kronwall Deserved It
The Avalanche have been so bad for so long, we almost forgot what brutal homers their broadcasters are. Play-by-play man Mike Haynes was there to remind us last night, taking an uncomfortable amount of joy from an ugly injury to Detroit's Niklas Kronwall....
Taylor Hall Scores Twice In Eight Seconds, Oilers Still Lose
When you break an Oilers team record, especially one that's held by Wayne Gretzky, it has the feel of something bigger. But since Taylor Hall broke Gretzky's 33-year-old mark by scoring twice in eight seconds, and it was Edmonton's only points in a loss to the Islanders, it's very much a sign of the...
This Tampa Bay Lightning Fan Knows Exactly What He's Doing
The Bolts scored a goal! Let's celebrate by jumping up and down! The knowing smile and facial hair make me think this isn't the first time this dude's succeeded with this trick....

Canucks Score Shorthanded Goal On Themselves
The Vancouver Canucks accomplished quite a feat Saturday night, not only scoring an own goal, but scoring a shorthanded own goal. It was so stupid....
Thomas Vanek Pulls A Hertl With Slick Between-The-Legs Goal
Everyone's got Hertl fever! Two days after Thomas Hertl's four-goal extravaganza, which included a preposterous between-the-legs goal, Buffalo Sabres forward Thomas Vanek decided to unleash a Hertl-style goal of his own....
How Those Painfully Awkward Local Commercials With Athletes Are Made
You've probably seen a local commercial with one of your area's athletes, and it was most likely awful and unnatural. For me, nothing will beat Dustin Pedroia's cringe-worthy Sullivan Tire ad. ("I don't believe it. It's Jim Rice.") This funny video featuring Scott Hartnell proves that there's a scie...
Adam Oates Is A Hertl Hater
Hockey is a bizarre, wonderful, terrible sport where a fresh-faced teenager can wow the world with a precocious and exuberant display of skill, and at least one NHL lifer's response is, "Someone should hurt that kid."...
