Youth Hockey Coach Makes Sick Yo Momma Burn
A minor hockey coach in Timmons, Ontario, was suspended after making some inappropriate comments about a 12-year-old player's mother during a pregame locker room speech.

French Canadian Meme Alert: Thibaulting Is The New Tebowing
For those of you who don't remember former Habs/Blackhawks/other goaltender Jocelyn Thibault, his last name is pronounced identically to a certain Denver quarterback's. So it was just a matter of time before Thibaulting swept the continent. (Or, as sender-inner Noah says, "maybe just Canadian beer-l...

"I'm Walking Around With A Bullet In My Head And A Scar On My Neck": Clint Malarchuk, At 50
On March 22, 1989, Buffalo Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk had his neck slashed by an opponent's skate, slicing open his carotid artery and jugular vein, and bringing him within minutes of his own death.

Sam Gagner Tied Gretzky's Oilers Record With Eight Points Last Night
The last time an NHL player had an eight-point regular season game (1988), Sam Gagner wasn't born yet.

A Man In Minnesota Could Face DWI Charges After Crashing A Zamboni Into The Boards
Brian Dornstreich, a youth hockey coach in Apple Valley, Minn., noticed something right away about the local rink attendant Monday night: His eyes were red, and his breath smelled like Red Bull.

Goalies Fight In Minor League Hockey Brawl, Announcers Herald "Mass Hysteria"
Half the fun of this brawl between the Bakersfield Condors and the Ontario Reign last night is, obviously, the brawl itself—which included the goalies. The other half is the announcers' slow descent into giddy madness, including tossing out quotes from Ghostbusters. One of the goalies shamefully k...
Former New York Rangers GM Neil Smith Wants The World To Know He Doesn't Suck "Nearly As Good As You"
Neil Smith, most famous for constructing the Edmonton Oilers Version 2.0 while the general manager of the Rangers during the glory days of the mid nineties, is still alive!

Wisconsin played University of Minnesota-Duluth in December. The game, broadcast on the Big Ten Network, was a 3-3 tie. Somehow we only got this video now, courtesy of reader Daniel. Hey, beats Joe Micheletti....

Puck Daddy has the story and the complete video, but these few moments tell us all we need to know about a Slovakian rink's roof giving way under the weight of snow.

Ryan Miller: "Nope."
Yeah, it's late, but holy crap did you see the save Ryan Miller laid on Tanner Glass last night? Glass is all like "that's going in" and the Jets are like "yeah!" but Miller is like "oh hell no" and flings that thing out of there, presumably accompanied by a whip-crack sound effect, and Jason Pomi...

His name is Ben Blood, for god's sake. Even if this wasn't the end of a contentious game between heated rivals Minnesota and UND, you should probably be guarding your grill any time you're within spitting distance of someone named Ben Blood. Regardless, Blood at least kept his integrity. Unlike Di...
Last Night's Phoenix Coyotes Broadcast Featured Some Lady's Five-Hole
It's unclear where the blame falls for this shot that lingered for several seconds up this woman's skirt: on the director who zoomed in, on the woman for whom modesty seems not to be an issue, or on Fox Sports Arizona reporter Tyson Nash for wearing such a ridiculous outfit. Either way, it's a howl...

A Confusing NHL Racial Controversy Gets Muddier, As Banana Reference Nets A One-Game Suspension
We thought this one was going to be cut-and-dried. We thought Krys Barch said something hateful and racist and unacceptable to P.K. Subban, and the NHL would come down with all its disciplinary might to show that there's no place for racism in hockey, and then we'd all move on. Naturally, nothing's ...
