Craig Anderson Stretchered Off Ice After Unintentional Hit To Head
Ottawa Senators goalie Craig Anderson was taken off of the ice on a stretcher after the Dallas Stars' Valeri Nichushkin accidentally hit Anderson's head with his leg while going to the net. Anderson remained supine on the ice until the stretcher came....

GOALIE FIGHT!
The Capitals took a 7-0 dump on the Flyers, but some measure of revenge (Momentum? Enforcement? What's this bullshit supposed to be about again?) was gained with a full line brawl in the third period. The highlight was Ray Emery skating the length of the ice to fight Braden Holtby, who wanted none o...

Oilers Head Coach Dallas Eakins Is Now Getting Heckled By Little Kids
I guess it's true what they say, there is no creature on earth as cruel as a Canadian child....

Pascal Dupuis Pulls Out His Own Tooth
You should probably go ahead and not watch this if you're squeamish. Yes, the tooth was part of a bridge, so the pain might have been minimal, but self-dentistry is never pleasant....

Avs Goalie Semyon Varlamov Arrested On Domestic Violence Charges
Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov spent the night in jail after turning himself in to face charges of second-degree kidnapping and third-degree assault in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident on Tuesday....


It's Funny Because She'll Die Unmarried
Don't look now, but the Leafs are leading the Atlantic after last night's 4-0 win in Edmonton. But as last year showed, the heartbreak of dangled hope is more acute than plain old futility. Enjoy spinsterhood, lady....

Brandon Saad Set Up Patrick Kane With A Sweet Spin-O-Rama
So Brandon Saad is stealing Patrick Kane's moves now—and by that we do not mean Saad went on a weekend bender at the Tau Kap house, though one can always hope. Rather, Saad busted out the Spin-O-Rama—which Kaner had learned from Denis Savard—during last night's win over the Wild....

Lightning Defensemen Combine For Humiliating Own Goal
The timing couldn't have been worse. With 1:49 left in regulation, just 40 seconds after the Lightning had taken the lead on the defending champ Blackhawks, Matt Carle inexplicably and forcefully fired a pass back at Radko Gudas. It deflected off a surprised Gudas's skate, skittering past Ben Bishop...

Bruins Beat Sharks With A Literal Last-Second Goal
The Bruins handed the Sharks their first regulation loss of the season after David Krejci scored with less than a second remaining in the game....

Evgeni Malkin Instagram Best
Penguins center and Russia's most eligible bachelor Evgeni Malkin has been on Instagram for an entire year. We regret that we've only now made this discovery....

John Tavares Would Like To Show You His Disgusting Tooth Implants
We all kind of cringed/wretched a little bit when Islanders captain John Tavares yanked out one his front teeth right there on the bench a few weeks ago. So (ugh) let's re-live (gulp) it by checking out (covers eyes) what his mouth looks like now (runs away from computer)....

If You Weren't Picturing Mike Milbury Having Group Sex, You Are Now
Last night's "30 for 30" was Big Shot, a look at John Spano, the con man who briefly purchased the Islanders before the NHL realized he didn't have any money. (A similar scenario would play out in Nashville just 11 years later.) The most prurient part was then-GM Mike Milbury recounting how Spano of...

Antti Niemi Makes A Ridiculous Leg Save On A Baffled Todd Bertuzzi
The NHL scoring leaders proved last night that they can win with defense—a 1-0 shootout win kept the Sharks undefeated in regulation, and it was capped off by this blatantly unfair save by Antti Niemi on Todd Bertuzzi....


We Have An NHL Goalie Goal
With 0.1 seconds left on the clock in Saturday's Coyotes-Red Wings game, Phoenix goaltender Mike Smith scored his first career goal after flinging the puck into Detroit's empty net. Whether or not Smith was actually aiming for the net, he doesn't have to admit it to anyone now....

The Buffalo Sabres Think They Can Dance
Via For the Win, the Sabres held a dance-off after practice today. They're 1-7, so they're rather adept at flitting aimlessly across the ice without any musical accompaniment....

Gleeful Avs Announcer Basically Says Injured Kronwall Deserved It
The Avalanche have been so bad for so long, we almost forgot what brutal homers their broadcasters are. Play-by-play man Mike Haynes was there to remind us last night, taking an uncomfortable amount of joy from an ugly injury to Detroit's Niklas Kronwall....
