Philipp Grubauer Saved A Game And The Flames Are On The Brink
It’s less sexy than the Blue Jackets clobbering Tampa, but out west the Avalanche are on the verge of upsetting the other top seed, taking a 3-1 series lead over the Flames after a comeback 3-2 overtime win. Colorado’s doing a lot right, but a large share of their success belongs to goalie Philipp G...
Cale Makar Has Arrived And His Parents Are Just Barely Holding It Together
It’s been a busy few days for Cale Makar. On Friday, he was named the Hobey Baker Award winner for top college player. On Saturday, he and UMass played in and lost the NCAA Championship game. On Sunday, he signed an entry-level contract with the Avalanche, who had drafted him fourth overall in 2017....
Nathan MacKinnon's Wrist Is Trying To Kill The Flames All By Itself
The Flames had one of those nights on Monday, going down 4-0 in 28 minutes before an eventual 6-2 Avalanche win to give Colorado a 2-1 series lead. They picked up two simultaneous penalties—including too many men on the ice—to give up the Avs’ first goal on a 5-on-3. They got outshot 56-29. They eve...
Linebacker Ryan Davis Exits AAF Game On Stretcher After Injuring His Neck While Colliding With A Teammate
Orlando Apollos linebacker Ryan Davis Sr. had to be helped onto a stretcher on Sunday after suffering an injury to the head and neck area late in the first half of his team’s game against the San Antonio Commanders....
Tom Wilson Got Brutal Revenge For A Dirty Hit By Ian Cole
This guy again, huh? Yeah. It had been by my count a little over three weeks since Capitals violence-lover Tom Wilson last dropped the gloves, so he must have been just twitching from withdrawal, aching to go out and throw some haymakers at an opponent. It was Colorado Avalanche defenseman Ian Cole ...
Mikko Rantanen Is More Than Just A Sidekick Now
The Colorado Avalanche improved to 10-6-4 on Sunday against the Ducks, thanks to an overtime near-buzzer-beater from their newest young stud: the 22-year-old Finnish right winger Mikko Rantanen. With just 1.3 seconds remaining before a shootout, Rantanen took advantage of the space provided by 4-on-...
Track Coach Says Thousand Oaks Shooter Assaulted Her In High School
On Thursday morning, Ian David Long walked into a bar in Thousand Oaks, Calif., and killed 12 people with a handgun and injured dozens more before turning the gun on himself. To the surprise of absolutely no one, interviews with those who knew Long describe a highly disturbed person, especially afte...
P.K. Subban Turns Down Fight By Declaring Himself A "Pussy," Telling Opponent How Much He Sucks
Predators defenseman P.K. Subban had himself a nice little chat with Avalanche defender Nikita Zadorov during a stoppage in play in Nashville’s 4-1 last night. Zadorov apparently invited Subban to fight him, and although the confrontation wasn’t caught on camera, a hot mic in the arena picked up som...
Orlando Arcia Is Hilarious
It was amusing when Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia, one of the very worst regular-season hitters in the league and a guy Milwaukee sent to the minors multiple times in 2018, guided them to a Game 163 victory over the Cubs with four hits. What he’s done since then is downright hysterical....
Orlando Arcia Came Out Of Nowhere To Help The Brewers Win The NL Central
Of all the regular players on the Milwaukee Brewers, shortstop Orlando Arcia is almost undeniably the worst. With an on-base percentage of .260, a weakling slugging percentage of .299, and multiple demotions to the minors in 2018, it’s honestly a wonder that this guy even managed to get the start in...
Gabriel Landeskog Beat The Shirt Off Brayden Schenn<em></em>
Just three seconds into last night’s Avs-Blues contest, Colorado’s Gabriel Landeskog and St. Louis’s Brayden Schenn decided to randomly drop the gloves and have a brawl in open ice. The initial violence in itself was 20 seconds of intensity, but the fight really heated up and came to a climax when L...
Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen Scored A Goal Off His Crotch
For a hockey player in front of the net, it’s all about getting good position and setting a screen—and also sometimes taking a puck off his dick....
Mike Hoffman Skips The Puck Past Jonathan Bernier For A Truly Freakish Goal
I think I’ll be giving Ottawa’s Mike Hoffman way too much credit if I imply in any way that he knew what he was doing here. But even if his goal yesterday against the Colorado Avalanche in Stockholm, Sweden was a complete accident, it’s still something I’ve never seen before....
The Brewers Hit Two Clutch Dingers To Stay In The Thick Of The Wild Card Chase
The Milwaukee Brewers are the losingest National League team to still be mathematically alive for the postseason, clinging to the very bottom rung of the Wild Card chase with just seven games to go. ESPN gives them just a 16 percent chance of edging into that final spot. It’s all do-or-die from here...
Spanish Swimmer Sacrifices His Race To Pay Tribute To Barcelona Victims
Spanish swimmer Fernando Alvarez was in Budapest this past weekend for the Masters World Championships, and before he swam in a 200-meter breaststroke heat, he asked swimming’s governing body (FINA) to hold a minute of silence in tribute to the 15 people who were killed last Thursday in a terrorist ...
Adrian Beltre Humbled By Incredibly Slow Pitch
Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre, whose habit of falling to one knee while batting is second only to his absolute hatred of having his head touched in a ranking of Adrian Beltre quirks, did not expect a 61-mph pitch from Red Sox reliever Fernando Abad in Wednesday’s game. The result was a powerfu...
Very Rude Shortstop Rudely Swipes A Scoop Of Unsuspecting Fan's Ice Cream
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia had himself a nice Saturday afternoon, going 3-for-4 with a dinger in a win over the Marlins. Also, hey, free ice cream!...
Farewell To Shane Doan, The Ultimate Company Man
On Monday, with a distinct lack of ceremony, the Arizona Coyotes announced that they would not offer a new contract to Shane Doan, abruptly dismissing the longest-serving active captain in the NHL. Doan had been with the franchise his entire 21-season career, dating all the way back to when the Coyo...
Proud Hockey Grandpa Cries, Shovels Popcorn
Last week, the Colorado Avalanche signed their 2016 10th-overall pick Tyson Jost, a forward who spent the season at the University of North Dakota. Last night, in his fourth game, Jost scored his first career NHL goal against Minnesota....
