Thomas Vanek Claims League Bias On Game-Winning Goal Reversal
The Islanders and Blues were tied 3-3 in overtime when Thomas Vanek scored what appeared to be the game-winner. It looked like it hit his skate but the red lamp lit, the referee pointed at the net and Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak skated off the ice without incident. Replay eventually reversed the ca...
Erik Karlsson And Mike Green Hug Amid The On-Ice Chaos
This was from Tuesday, but it's still as cute as it was two days ago. While Mikhail Grabovski and Zack Smith tried to rip each other's faces off during the Senators-Capitals game, Ottawa's Erik Karlsson and Washington's Mike Green shared a lovely moment. (Wait for the last replay.)...
The Time Brett Hull Stole His Coach's Jaguar To Party All Night
Brett Hull stories are the best. Drinking, partying, half-assing it on the ice—you could make up a Brett Hull story right now and I'd believe it, just because his escapades have reached that rarified air where "authentic" matters more than "true." But here's a true one!...
Jack Edwards Mocks Peter Gammons, Makes Fart Noise During Bruins Game
We missed this from yesterday's Kings-Bruins game, but reader Zach helpfully pointed it out. Bruins play-by-play man Jack Edwards is probably one of the few announcers to use a Bronx cheer while calling a game. ...

Keith Olbermann Twitter-Fought With Tom Sestito's 13-Year-Old Sister
For the singular achievement of racking up 27 penalty minutes in one second of ice time, Canucks forward Tom Sestito was named Keith Olbermann's worst person in the sports world. He called Sestito, among other things, a "boxing hobo on skates." One person who took issue with that was Sestito's 13-ye...
Officials Sent The Wrong Sedin Twin To The Penalty Box
It's hard to blame the officials for occasionally losing track of things during last night's punchy 1-0 Kings win over Vancouver, a game that saw 109 total penalty minutes. It's extra-hard to blame them for penalizing Henrik Sedin for an infraction committed by Daniel Sedin—they look alike, and all....
