Which NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL Teams Have The Best Local Fan Bases?
Nielsen released its annual "Year in Sports Media Report" last week, a fascinating look into who consumed sports in 2013 and how they did so. There's tons of great trend data if you're into this sort of thing—TV viewership is down for the NBA while every other sport has grown; mobile devices are tak...
Where Olympic NHLers Are Coming From
16 Wins has put together this animated infographic showing each NHL team's contributions to Olympic rosters. I'd prefer an interactive version that lets me actually stop and look at each nation, but I get the idea....
Max Pacioretty Misses Two Penalty Shots, Scores Hat Trick Anyway
Canadiens winger Max Pacioretty became the first player in NHL history to miss two penalty shots in one game. While I can't find the specific record, I'm pretty confident in adding that he's the first player in NHL history to miss two penalty shots in one game while scoring three goals....
You Can Trade Losing Lotto Tickets For Florida Panthers Seats
Florida seems the appropriate place for an intersection of broken dreams and poorly attended hockey, but the Panthers are getting a bit literal: A new promotion allows fans to trade in $10 worth of losing scratch-off lotto tickets for seats with a face value of $20. You'd have to be a fool not to pl...
Patrick Kane Honors Dead Grandfather, Breaks Down After Game
Just before taking the ice for last night's game against the Kings, Patrick Kane learned that his grandfather had died. Kane played in the game, finishing with two goals and one assist. After scoring his first goal, seen above, Kane kissed his fingers and pointed skyward....
Marc-Andre Fleury Did Something Ridiculous
Marc-Andre Fleury turned in the single best glove save of the year so far, absolutely robbing Erik Karlsson and preserving a tie in what would be a 2-1 Penguins OT victory. I can't say enough great things about this save, and the flexibility and reflexes required to snatch that puck out of the air w...

Ben Scrivens Stops History
Hockey fans, if there's anything resembling sympathy to be found in that cold, unpliable puck you call a heart, you may want to send a little Ben Scrivens's way. Edmonton isn't always going to give up 100 shot attempts, and the newest Oiler isn't always going to post an NHL-record 59-save shutout, b...
An Outdoor NHL Game Through A Ref's Eyes
The NHL stuck a GoPro camera and microphone on ref Wes McCauley for Sunday's Rangers-Devils game at Yankee Stadium. And as Harrison Mooney at Puck Daddy notes, you can't get more Canadian than Wes McCauley. ...
The Phoenix Coyotes Will Become The Arizona Coyotes
The Phoenix Coyotes (who play in Glendale, which is not actually Phoenix [but is part of the Phoenix metro area, so it's no more inaccurate to call the team "Phoenix" than it is to call a team in Auburn Hills "Detroit," or a team in Santa Clara "San Francisco" {though it's probably still pretty offe...
Martin Brodeur Blames The Ice For His Being Old And Bad
Martin Brodeur called the makeshift rink at Yankee Stadium "the worst ice I ever played hockey on," and given a 21-year career, that's saying something. No other player on either team had such harsh words for the ice, but, then, no other player got yanked after giving up six goals in two periods....
Alex Ovechkin Scores Juggling Goal From Impressive Angle
Alex Ovechkin returned yesterday after missing two games due to injury and scored his 36th goal of the season with excellent precision. Ovechkin was perpendicular to the goal opening, yet reeled in the puck before flicking it in off of Canadiens goalie Carey Price's back for a 1-0 lead....
Outdoor Hockey In Los Angeles Made For Some Awesome Photos
The Ducks-Kings Stadium Series game at Dodger Stadium created an interesting contrast: A thoroughly maintained block of ice in the middle of a city with nary a snowflake to be found. But anything's possible in Los Angeles, right?...
