Here's Video Of A Lady Using Rail-Dance Spasms To Seduce A Goal From A Minor-League Hockey Game
In this video, a lady treats an ice-rink handrail like it's a pole on a stage. This seems to lead to an "awesome" Grand Rapids Griffins goal or something along those lines. The security guards apparently found this offensive. Bad form....
High School Hockey Championship Ends In An Attempted Triple Ice Murder
This weekend, Keller High School defeated Arlington Martin 9-3 in the Texas State Championship. The game was a blow-out, and it didn't really get interesting until it ended in three separate fights on the ice, one of which resulted in a broken jaw and a grade three concussion....
Let's Start The Day With A Story About Kindness
Your morning roundup for March 27, the day people continue to concern themselves with Dennis W. Peterson losing his front teeth at a Hooters....
Which Hockey Teams Get The Most Owies?
Consider this a hockey PSA: James Mirtle has published his annual breakdown of man-games lost to injury. The numbers match the perception pretty closely, and the figures are an invaluable resource when making excuses for your crappy team....
Goalie Stops Puck With Telekinesis
After Jonathan Quick appeared to get beat Monday night, the puck decided to take an unscheduled detour out of the goalmouth. For all we know, this is some involved viral marketing for the X-Men reboot. But it's probably more to do with Los Angeles's notoriously crappy ice surface....
Front Row Seats Mean Being Able To Flip Off The Coach Without Dropping Your Baby
This weekend the Ducks beat the Kings just 90 seconds into overtime of the most recent installment of the Freeway Faceoff rivalry. This so enraged a Kings fan that he gave Ducks coach Randy Carlyle, the finger — while holding his infant son in his other arm....
Young Man Cries Like The Heat Locker Room When He's Showered With Plexiglass
You have to assume this young man was bragging pretty hard about having rinkside tickets for the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles's Quebec Major Junior Hockey League game in Nova Scotia last weekend. You also have to assume that classmates who sat in the second level, if they even got in, are still ha...
Tampa Bay's Dwayne Roloson Makes Incredible Save, Compelling Case That Hockey Is Also Still Going On
Here's a great save from Dwayne Roloson in the Tampa Bay-Montreal game that somehow found a channel to exist on last night. The Canadians won in a shootout, 3-2, so Habs fans will not get the chance to protest the NHL's overtime rules....
Minnesota's Mr. Hockey Scored A Diving Game-Winner In 3OT For The State Title
On Saturday, Eden Prairie High and Duluth East played the longest championship game in state history for Minnesota's 2A title. In the third overtime, with both sides exhausted, Curt Rau fired a shot from the right side and his twin brother Kyle — who was named Mr. Hockey the following day — dove i...
Really, Montreal Fans? A Protest Against Head Shots <em>Now</em>?
Tonight, before the Habs' game against the Capitals, a couple thousand fans will rally outside the Bell Centre to demand that something be done about head shots in hockey. Except it's a lot more likely they're really agitating for something to be done about the head shot on Max Pacioretty....
Ryan Kesler Makes A Habit Of The Interview Bomb In Various States Of Undress
Last week we posted a video of Kesler's first interview bomb, when he wandered behind Raffi Torres shirtless and eating a slice of pizza. Turns out he's been doing it a lot lately, with various props. Kesler told the Vancouver Sun that it started as "a joke with my buddies back home" that he calls...
This Game-Winning Chris Stewart Goal Made An Announcer Say "Holy Jumpin'!"
Chris Stewart's second goal of the night lifted the St. Louis Blues over Columbus in overtime last night, 4-3. It was Stewart's ninth goal in 11 games with the Blues, and it was a nice one. Holy jumpin', it was nice....
Max Pacioretty Was Seriously Injured In Last Night's Zdeno Chara Hit
Pacioretty suffered a severe concussion and a fractured vertebrae in last night's hard collision with Boston's Zdeno Chara. Montreal's left wing remains in the hospital and is out indefinitely. Chara will not be punished beyond the game misconduct. [ESPN]...
Shirtless Ryan Kesler Creeps, Eats Pizza Behind Teammate's Locker Room Interview
At first glance this is a routine, fairly boring post-game interview with Canucks forward Raffi Torres. Routine and boring, that is, until his teammate, Ryan Kesler, creeps into the frame and lurks behind the shot — half-naked and eating a slice of pizza. He offers the crust to Torres — that's rig...
Hockey Player Misses A Check, Sails Directly Through Sheet Of Plexiglas
Minor league hockey player Patrick Bordeleau of the Lake Erie Monsters missed a hit and slammed straight through the Plexiglas on Friday night. Bordeleau went through the entire pane, raining down shattered glass and hellfire all over the scorer's bench....
The Broken Phenom, The Overzealous Enforcer, And Some New Ammo For The Anti-Fighting Crowd
Try to justify the institution of the enforcer in hockey to an outsider, and you'll likely pull out the usual arguments. It's about protection, about fear, about retribution. So yes, on a basic level, it's about pain. But it's never, never about injury. So with two players still out in the wake of a...
Let's See What Former NHL Enforcer Donald Brashear Is Up To
Last week, the New York Times featured long-time NHL enforcer Donald Brashear's current lot in life: "playing in the rough-and-tumble Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey because he still loved the game." The story chronicled a brawl involving Brashear and opponent Trois-Rivières goalie....
The Hardest Hit In Last Night's Maple Leafs-Flyers Game Was In Warm-Ups
Dion Phaneuf and Mike Komisarek were dutifully going through their warm-ups before last night's game in Philadelhpia when they collided. Hard. Neither player was injured, and the Leafs went on to win, 3-2, which I guess is why the announcers are so comfortable giggling about it on-air....
The Second Longest Hockey Game Ever Ended Early This Morning
The longest game in collegiate-hockey history (and second longest overall) ended this morning; it was the Queen's (University) Golden Gaels vs. the University of Guelph Gryphons, game one of the Ontario University Athletics three-game women's hockey finals....
The Unique Challenge Of The NHL Trade Deadline: Twitter Impostors
The deadline is minutes away, but already the NHL has seen some major movement: Brad Richards to the Leafs, Marty Reasoner to the Canucks, Dustin Penner to the Canadiens...oh wait, none of those moves actually happened. They were all reported by fake Twitter accounts impersonating hockey writers, an...
