Game 7 Through The Eyes Of A Kings Fan
Too often the GoPro is used for things like surfing and wingsuiting, things that we can't relate to and end up looking shaky and nauseating. But Kings fan Eric Locko strapped on the helmet-cam for the most exciting event most of us could realistically hope to experience: a game 7....
The Rangers Have Fired John Tortorella
After four and a half seasons of halfway decent hockey (which included a Eastern Conference No. 1 seed in 2012 and a 19-25 playoff record overall), the New York Rangers have canned head coach John Tortorella....
With A Little Luck And A Gigantic Glove Save, The Kings Carry On
Hockeywood is halfway to putting out a sequel, and the script looks a lot like last year's: timely goals from unlikely sources, defense that doesn't take a breather, and a Conn Smythe-caliber campaign from Jonathan Quick in net....
Yep, The L.A. Media Is <em>Still</em> Confused By The City's Hockey Team
Man, that was close. Just when we were starting to think we'd get through an entire NHL season without a Kings-related screw-up from the Los Angeles media, Fox 11's Liz Habib rides to the rescue....
This Is Probably The New Dallas Stars Logo
The Stars were supposed to reveal their new logo and uniforms at a big, formal event on June 4. Yesterday, the team pushed out what appears to be the logo, as a wallpaper option on their official iPhone app. Oops?...

A Brutal No-Goal Call, And The Blackhawks Are On The Ropes
Hockey's never been much for the sanctity of seeds. No one blinked last year when the eight-seeded Kings blew through the competition on the way to a Cup. So it's not any sort of mathematical upset that the Red Wings took a 2-1 lead in their series with the top-seeded Blackhawks last night—but they ...
Ottawa's Double-OT Winner Was Not A Thing Of Beauty
It damn well took long enough, but the 2013 postseason had its first multiple-overtime game. And sure it was sloppy, even downright ugly at times, but there's nothing quite like the home-ice reaction to Colin Greening's 2OT goal to keep the Senators alive....
NBC Learns What Happens When You Interview Torts During The Game
We don't know why TV networks insist on trying to interview coaches while games are in action—Fox baseball broadcasts, you're the worst culprit—but when NBC's Pierre McGuire tried to get a few words from Rangers chief John Tortorella during today's game against the Bruins, he got one more than he b...
This Is What Happens When You Bet On The Maple Leafs

Ilya Bryzgalov Talks Philly Ghettos, Welfare Queens, And Joseph Stalin
Russian media are notorious for twisting words, and occasionally making shit up. Google Translate is far from perfect. Still, this Ilya Bryzgalov interview gets real fucking strange even before he talks about wanting to hang out with Stalin....

A few minutes ago, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Penguins beat writer Seth Rorabaugh shared this insane photo on Twitter, and holy shit. ...
The Florida Panthers Want Broward County To Buy Them A New Scoreboard
The Panthers will appear before the Broward County Commission today, to argue that that the county should spring for $4.2 million to build a new scoreboard.
