Here's Jaromir Jagr As A Firefighter In A Euro Lottery Commercial
This is more than a year old, and it's already bounced around the internet a little bit, but it was just brought to our attention. We're posting it because it's Jaromir Jagr. Dressed as a fire chief. Who gets tricked by some ladies. Ladies who wanna party with him. In a 20-second commercial for the ...
Chicago's Win: 112 Minutes, Two Empty Bruins, And One Pinball Wizard
This is what coaches say, over and over, as overtime stretches into a second overtime stretches into comical exhaustion: just chuck it toward the net, because you never know what can happen....
Blackhawks Score In Triple Overtime To Win Stanley Cup Game 1
It took three overtimes and a double-deflection, but the Chicago Blackhawks kept the home advantage and drew first blood in the Stanley Cup. Andrew Shaw redirected the puck with his knee for the winning goal, and the Blackhawks beat the Boston Bruins, 4-3....
Phil Esposito On The Stanley Cup Final: "Doesn't Mean Shit To Me"
Phil Esposito was a five-time NHL scoring champion whose best playing days were with the Bruins. But he began his career in Chicago, where his brother, Tony, was a Hall of Fame goalie. That said, Esposito's rooting interest in this year's Stanley Cup final is easier than you think....
Jaromir Jagr's Playoff Beard Is Way Too Much
There are some things Jaromir Jagr is unmistakably great at. Playing hockey, for instance—which Jagr does especially well, even now, at the age of 41. When he puts his hips out and leans forward, with his body between the defender and the puck, no one can dream of filching possession. He may have b...

Are you a Chicago Blackhawks fan who desperately wants to go to Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Wednesday?

Not Content Merely To Win, The Bruins Are Traumatizing Franchises
The Boston Bruins will welcome the winner of the Chicago-L.A. series to the Stanley Cup Final because of their utter dismantling of the Pittsburgh Penguins. In that series, the Bruins were able to stonewall a Pittsburgh team that won 75 percent of its regular season games and led the league in scori...
Legendary Homer Jack Edwards Compares One Bruin's Shot-Block To D-Day
So Gregory Campbell blocked a shot, broke his leg, and finished a shift. It was courageous, in the way these things are, and—to state the obvious—unworthy of this hallowed analogy, which Edwards presented (naturally) on WEEI. There will forever be a great gulf between the sacrifices of soldiers and...
Bruins' Gregory Campbell Breaks Leg, Finishes Shift
In the words of Doc Emrick, Gregory Campbell was "shaken up" after he lay down to block Evgeni Malkin's slap shot during a Penguins power play in last night's second period. Hobbling and barely able to move, Campbell played on for another minute or so, at one point nearly stealing the puck on a lazy...
Why Did The Penguins Let Brooks Orpik Keep Playing After This Hit?
One cannot easily diagnose traumatic brain injury by way of a television feed—some big hits can be harmless, and some small ones can pack an unexpected punch. But, watching on TV last night, it was hard to think Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik, whose head was rammed into the glass by 228-pound Bru...
<em>Hockey Night In Canada's</em> Pregame Video From Last Night Is Tremendous
I'm a sucker for a well-produced pregame video. A few nicely timed cuts here, a couple of dramatic gazes there, and a haunting score to tie it all together can make me feel like I'm about to watch the most important sporting event history (I'm pretty sure I have watched this one more than a dozen t...
The Penguins Hang Around But Boston Takes Commanding 3-0 Lead
In this longest game of the playoffs, the Bruins got off to a fast start again when David Krejci scored within the first two minutes of Game 3. It was his ninth goal of these playoffs, the most of any player. The lead held until midway into the second period when Chris Kunitz lit the lamp off a nic...
Penguins Keep Getting Trolled, Can't Catch A Goddamn Break
It was bad enough that the Pittsburgh Penguins are getting completely, systematically dismantled by the Boston Bruins in the NHL's Eastern Conference finals, and that Sidney Crosby, who has been completely shut down for the first two games of the series, got trolled from afar by a random JetBlue pil...
The Bruins Are Toying With The Penguins, And Here's Why
It took 28 seconds for the Bruins to score first in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. It took even less time than that for Sidney Crosby and the Penguins to shit their pants....
Boston Pilot Uses Crying Baby To Drop A Burn On Sidney Crosby
This tweet comes to us from Dan Roche, who covers the Bruins for WBZ and was flying back to Boston this morning after watching the B's dismantle the Penguins in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. It's probably the only decent joke that has ever been told by a pilot....
The Independent Review Into PAC-12 Referee-Bribing Allegations Is In
And it makes no sense. The PAC-12 "engaged" the oddly-named firm Ice Miller, LLP to conduct an independent review into allegations that former head of officiating Ed Rush bribed game officials into T'ing up Sean Miller for disputing a call at the end of Arizona's semifinal loss to UCLA in this year'...
Matt Cooke's Dirty Hit Last Night Got A Fan Kicked Out Of His Band
In yesterday's NHL Eastern Conference finals game between the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins, the Bruins crushed the Pens in Pittsburgh, 3-0, to take a 1-0 series lead. The biggest uproar from the night, however, may have come following a vicious, illegal hit early in the second period. ...
Check Out Jaromir Jagr At 18, When He First Got To Pittsburgh
In 1990, Jaromir Jagr arrived as a Penguins rookie from the former Czechoslovakia looking every bit like the dude from that one A-ha video. With the 41-year-old Bruins winger back in town for the Eastern Conference finals beginning tomorrow, the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette's photo Tumblr performs a publ...
The Rangers Steal One Freaking Game, And Here Comes The Comeback Talk
After the Bruins played one of their worst games of the postseason, and the Rangers came up with one of their best (luckiest?), there's no reason to panic in Boston about a 3-0 series lead being cut to 3-1. Right? Right?...
Here's The Overtime Goal That Kept The NY Rangers' Season Alive
The New York Rangers, down to the Boston Bruins 3-0 in the Eastern Conference semifinals and facing a sweep, scored twice in the third period to tie the game 3-3 and send it into overtime. ...
