Attending A Devils Game In A Zach Parise Jersey Sounds Like Hell [Updates]
Devils fans booed Zach Parise every time he touched the puck last night, in the star winger's first return to New Jersey since he signed with the Wild in 2012. So the mood was predictable hostile, but according to one Minnesota fan, the venom extended into the stands in an ugly way....

Ottawa's Ales Hemsky Scores One Of The Best Goals Of The Season
Ottawa Senators trade-deadline acquisition Ales Hemsky scored a beauty of a goal in tonight's game against the Lightning. The move is lovely, but the goal in its entirety is better....

Phil Kessel Vs. The Water Bottle, Water Bottle Wins
It was that kind of night for the Leafs, one that started with James Reimer giving up a goal on the first shot he faced, saw a scary injury to Paul Ranger, Kessel's inability to properly hydrate, and ended 5-3 Lightning, more fodder for the Reimer discussion....

Idiot Invades Ice At Air Canada Centre, Gets Pummeled By Security
We're still seeking good video of this, but late in Tampa Bay's 5-3 win over the Leafs a Toronto fan somehow managed to scale the glass and make his way onto the ice during a timeout. The fan, we're told, ran around on the ice, squatted in a faceoff circle, then got pummeled by security. Send us vid...

A Cold War Philly Beatdown, Illustrated
Geopolitics in the Crimea made you wistful for Cold War-era sports showdowns, where simple games became struggles between global powers? Well, illustrator Stephen Halker and the good people over at Victory Journal have a beautifully jingoistic tale of the 1976 game between the Broad Street Bullies ...


Six Ways The Florida Panthers Want To Screw Broward County
The Panthers want public funds to fix up the BB&T Center. Something in the neighborhood of $80 million in tax subsidies would be nice. They're asking because it'd be corporately negligent for a franchise not to at least try to milk taxpayers out of cash for something that won't economically contribu...

Senators Player Autographs Reply To "Twitter Troll"
Way back in November, Adnan, an editor at Sens blog Silver Seven, offered up a snarky tweet about Ottawa defenseman Marc Methot. It wasn't particularly mean, and it didn't include Methot's Twitter handle, but Methot, presumably searching for his name, noticed. He replied with the old "you've never p...

Fan Tries To Take Selfie In Front Of Jaromir Jagr, Gets Jagrbombed
Just great work by everyone involved here. That's perfect framing by the selfie taker to get himself, Jagr, and bewildered Devils lady Cory Schneider in the picture, and Jagr has just the right mix of mischievousness and nonchalance that's needed to pull off a good photobomb. ...

Failed Prediction Forces MSG Hockey Analyst To Eat A Hat On-Air
What we have here is MSG hockey guru and table hockey expert Stan Fischler attempting to make good on a promise that if the New York Rangers traded Ryan Callahan, he'd eat his hat.

Johnny Boychuk Gets Boarded, And Claude Julien Can't Stop Swearing
Carolina's Patrick Dwyer gave Johnny Boychuk a little push into the boards during the Hurricanes-Bruins game, and Boychuk didn't come away unscathed.

Hockey Fans Using Rich Peverley To Shit On LeBron James Are The Worst
From the second it was reported that Rich Peverley regained consciousness and asked to get back into the game, you knew where this was going. Peverley was going to be exploited by hockey's worst fans as an assault on LeBron James, on basketball, on any sport that isn't hockey. It was as predictable ...

Colorado Avalanche And Imagine Dragons Team Up For Dumb Music Video
Dammit, Avalanche. Making a good hockey hype video is not the hardest thing in the world. All you need is a decently edited highlight reel backed by a song that has, like, drums and guitars and stuff. You can even use a song from a band as insipid and annoying as Imagine Dragons! Any song will work...

There's No Meltdown Quite Like A Canucks Meltdown
I know it's hard to conceive of, but there will come a point when you actually feel sorry for Canucks fans. Yesterday's debacle, losing 7-4 to the Islanders after conceding seven goals in the third period, just hours after GM Mike Gillis wrote a letter to season-ticket holders stating the organizati...
