Not Content Merely To Win, The Bruins Are Traumatizing Franchises
The Boston Bruins will welcome the winner of the Chicago-L.A. series to the Stanley Cup Final because of their utter dismantling of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Old-Man Fight Features Broken Golf Club Used As A Sword
If you've spent a significant amount of time playing golf, you know how awful going through a round with a shitty playing partner can be.

One cannot easily diagnose traumatic brain injury by way of a television feed—some big hits can be harmless, and some small ones can pack an unexpected punch.

<em>Hockey Night In Canada's</em> Pregame Video From Last Night Is Tremendous

The Penguins Hang Around But Boston Takes Commanding 3-0 Lead
In this longest game of the playoffs, the Bruins got off to a fast start again when David Krejci scored within the first two minutes of Game 3. It was his ninth goal of these playoffs, the most of any player. The lead held until midway into the second period when Chris Kunitz lit the lamp off a nic...
Penguins Keep Getting Trolled, Can't Catch A Goddamn Break
It was bad enough that the Pittsburgh Penguins are getting completely, systematically dismantled by the Boston Bruins in the NHL's Eastern Conference finals, and that Sidney Crosby, who has been completely shut down for the first two games of the series, got trolled from afar by a random JetBlue pil...
Boston Pilot Uses Crying Baby To Drop A Burn On Sidney Crosby
This tweet comes to us from Dan Roche, who covers the Bruins for WBZ and was flying back to Boston this morning after watching the B's dismantle the Penguins in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. It's probably the only decent joke that has ever been told by a pilot....
Wrigley Field: Home Of The Pantomimed Blowjob
Remember this jackass? He made his way onto TV in a late-night, nothing game in Chicago and made blowjob gestures for a whole inning. He had at least two competitors during today's Diamondbacks-Cubs action today at Wrigley Field....
Matt Cooke's Dirty Hit Last Night Got A Fan Kicked Out Of His Band

Check Out Jaromir Jagr At 18, When He First Got To Pittsburgh
In 1990, Jaromir Jagr arrived as a Penguins rookie from the former Czechoslovakia looking every bit like the dude from that one A-ha video.

Pirates Broadcaster On The Pirates' Hot Streak: "This Is Kinky!"
The Pittsburgh Pirates, you guys! They've been spanking their fans for years, but now they've won 19 games in May. They haven't lost a series since May 5. Last night they won 1-0 for the fourth time in 11 games. And cuddly color man Steve Blass is just tickled by it all....
Watch This Sideline Reporter Almost Get Smoked By A Baseball
On another day, this story would've been an obituary.
