Pekka Rinne Is Good Again
“I don’t know what he needed to prove to anybody,” Austin Watson said of goaltender Pekka Rinne, but I think it was pretty obvious. Rinne had been awful in the first two games of the Stanley Cup final. He needed to prove he hadn’t collapsed completely—that he could, at the very least, again be the p...

P.K. Subban: Sidney Crosby Told Me I Have Bad Breath
With Nashville on their way to a 5-1 victory during last night’s Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals, P.K.

The Time Ted Leonsis Invited Me Over To Show How The NHL Is In The Tank For The Penguins
In March 2010 Ted Leonsis asked me to meet him. I didn’t know him personally, but from the Capitals and Wizards owner’s very public persona he seemed like a nice and interesting guy, especially compared to other owners in the D.C. market. He didn’t say what he wanted to talk about, though I figured ...

What Happened To Pekka Rinne?
The Penguins are surely doing lots of good things to be up 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Final after last night’s 4-1 win.

Wolfsburg Make John Brooks The Most Expensive American Player In History
This summer’s transfer window isn’t even officially open yet and we’re already seeing some crazy, record-breaking fees being thrown about.
