David Frost Free to Keep on Creepin' On
For those of you unfamiliar with the sordid story of former agent/junior hockey coach David Frost, prepare to get weirded out.

Douchebaggery Runs Deep In The Roy Family
You may remember last spring when we told you about the on-ice antics of Patrick Roy's son Jonathan, forcing a seemingly innocent opposing goalie into a fight.

ESPN Knows Not Of This 'Hockey' You Speak Of
Look, I'm the first to admit that this here site isn't exactly Puck Daddy. But when we start an NHL feature, we tend to finish it, unlike a certain Worldwide Leader, apparently.

Hockey Player Pulls Off Rare Hat Trick, Has His Stick Taken Away
Brace yourselves: This is not a hockey post. It's a college hockey post. And it's not even a Michigan State college hockey post—although I'm sure I'll find a way to work a few dozen of those in before the CCHA season is over—but when any athlete pulls off something that has happened maybe twice in t...

Now sure, the McCain/Palin campaign have had their hardships over the past few weeks with some bad PR issue - who doesn't spend $150,000 on their wardrobe? - but until last night we didn't have indisputable proof that they are completely incapable of leading our country! At the most recent Palin pu...
Sarah Palin Sentences Future Son To Lifetime Of Ass Kickings, Possible Ice Grooming
Sarah Palin recently did an interview for the upcoming issue of People Magazine in which she, among other things, refers to herself as "an intellectual," and lists some of the publications she reads on a regular basis.

You Do Not Want To Be In Jan Huokko's Fave Five
Yesterday we told you about The Night of a Thousand Dildos, in which Swedish hockey fans showered the ice with plastic sex devices at a second-tier, Pro Hockey League match between Leksand and AIK in Stockholm. The fusillade was unleashed in honor of former AIK and current Leksand player Jan Huokko,...

Who knew Swedes got so ornery? But this is the treatment you get if you're an opposing member of a Swedish hockey team and were involved in a salacious sex scandal. Gentlemen...unleash the dildos! ...
Begun, The Blog Wars Have
David Berry never started out to be the Che Guevera of the sports blogosphere. He's actually quite mild-mannered — even for a Canadian — and doesn't even own a beret. But sometimes these things are out of one's control, and Berry these days has found his situation the cause celeb among his basement-...

Here we ...
Does Haunting Cherepanov Video Reveal Negligence?

Hey, Don't Hurl On My Jersey, Backstrom
In honor of hockey's impending arrival (see previous post), we give you this.

At least until the season begins....
Score Along At Home With The 82-0 Women's Hockey Game
So if you needed video evidence to believe that Slovakia beat Bulgaria 82-0 in a women's Winter Olympics qualification tournament recently — and I don't blame you if you do — here it is.
