The Kings Will Beat You At Their Game, Or Yours
A game can be a classic without being particularly good hockey. We haven't had a conference final Game 7 go to OT in 20 years, so Kings-Blackhawks qualifies as an all-timer just on sheer novelty, but it was ugly at times. Bad goaltending, lax backchecking, freak bounces on questionable ice, and goal...

The End Of The First Period Of Kings-Hawks Was A Goal Smorgasbord
I've re-written this sentence four times since I originally started this post, and I can't even remember what it was originally going to be about.

What at first seems like a wholesome bit of Americana, becomes just regular, old everything's-a-pain-in-my-ass Americana. On first blush, we've got a concessions worker at Miller Park, juggling Cracker Jacks. Who doesn't love Cracker Jacks and Baseball? It's in the song, for crissakes. That lady in...

Sad Canadiens Mascot In Rangers Jersey Is The Saddest Mascot
Oh my God, Youppi! What have they done to Youppi!?

The Thunder lost to the Spurs 112-107 in overtime and, good lord, was overtime a disaster for Oklahoma City. Look at the tidiness of San Antonio's overtime shot chart, compared to OKC's. Russell Westbrook—who had an otherwise great game, with 34 points, eight assists, seven rebound, and six steals—w...
This Is Lance Stephenson Blowing On Kevin Durant And Forcing A Turnover
And I can't stop watching it. Someone edited Lance Stephenson blowing into LeBron's ear into a sequence at the end of the fourth quarter when Kevin Durant stumbled and turned the ball over, with Oklahoma City down by two, and it's perfect. Look how mischievous he is!...
Spurs And Thunder Head To Overtime Thanks To Blown Goaltending Call
The officials missed a goaltending call with 44 seconds left in the game and the score tied 97-97. Though clearly a goaltending, this was deemed a block and the Spurs were shorted two points.
