Lightning Goalie Ben Bishop Takes Puck To The Testicles Before Game 5
Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Ben Bishop briefly left the ice before his biggest game of the season after absorbing a warmup shot right in the nuts. ...
Josh Hamilton, who was called up by the Texas Rangers after a 12-game stint in the minors, will start for the team against the Cleveland Indians tomorrow. He will play left field and likely bat fifth. “We’re going to open our arms and give him a great big hug and welcome him,” Rangers manager Jeff B...
The Lightning Won't Be Stopped
The Lightning appear to own Henrik Lundqvist. The Rangers goalie has now given up six goals in back-to-back games, and of six games this season in which he’s allowed five or more goals, the last four have come against Tampa Bay. This is not to suggest that the usually dependable Lundqvist has some p...
The Ben Bishop Save That Brought Some Sanity To The Lightning's Win
So rarely does a four-goal game have such an obviously pivotal moment as did last night’s 6-2 Lightning win to even their series with the Rangers at a game apiece. Rather than the laugher the score suggests, it was, for most of its runtime, a tense, thrilling game: maybe the fastest and most wide-op...
Lightning Score Rare 3-On-5 Shorthanded Goal

The Rangers Are Built To Just Get By
Again it came down to one game, one goal, and again the Rangers escaped by the skin of their teeth. When Derek Stepan slotted home a traffic-stopped puck that landed right at his feet, the Rangers had won their sixth consecutive Game 7, all in the last four seasons, tying an NHL record...
What's Better Than Hitting A Walk-Off Grand Slam? Stealing One Away.
Rangers outfielder Leonys Martin came to the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning during yesterday’s game against the Astros, and proceeded to whack what appeared to be a walk-off grand slam. Martin was probably feeling preeeeetty good about himself as he ran toward first b...
Adrian Beltre Gets Helmet Stolen, Scares Teammate Half To Death
Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre hit a solo homer against the A’s yesterday. As usual, his baseball life partner, Elvis Andrus, was there to mess with him when he returned to the dugout. ...
God Save Queens Park Rangers, The Most Fun Bad Team In The EPL
QPR aren't very good. In fact, they're quite terrible. They have the Premier League's second-worst points-per-game rate, have given up by far the most goals, and look generally incompetent performing many of the duties usually required of an EPL-quality club. But goddammit if they aren't the most ...

Yeah, Dustin Byfuglien's Going To Be Suspended For This
"Violent, deliberate," is how Rangers coach Alain Vigneault described Dustin Byfuglien's cross-check to a prone J.T. Miller. "Could have broken his neck. It was one of the most vicious cross-checks I've seen this year."...
Rangers Goalie Cam Talbot Somehow Stopped This Shot
Nicklas Backstrom, on the right, received a pass from Joel Ward across the goal. He had the puck at this moment. Look at where Rangers goalie Cam Talbot is, and all the wide-open net available. Backstrom shot; Talbot made the save....

Yu Darvish To Miss At Least Four Months, Might Have Tommy John Surgery
The Texas Rangers will be without the services of All-Star pitcher Yu Darvish for at least four months, as the team announced that an MRI showed Darvish sprained the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

Lotsa Rougneds
It's true! The elder is Rougned Roberto Odor; the newest Ranger is Rougned Jose Odor. ...
Premier League Manager Resigns Because His Knee Hurts
The good ol', free-wheelin', tactics-ignorin', loveable Harry Redknapp is in pain. Not, he'd have us believe, because of his struggling QPR team's lackluster Premier League performances, or the because his owner laughed off the prospect of adding any bodies in the newly-closed transfer window while ...
The Weirdness Of The NHL's First Modern Outdoor Game
On September 27, 1991, the Rangers and Kings played a preseason game on a rink built in a Las Vegas parking lot.
