Matt Martin Knocks Out Tom Kostopoulos, Motions To Have Bench Collect Him

The Year's Best Crossover Came In The NHL
Picking a "best hockey player in the world" is a fool's errand. We anoint an Alex Ovechkin, who seems determined to prove us wrong. We back one or another Penguin, when's it not even clear which is the best on his own team. We even, for a feverish couple of weeks, decide on Claude Giroux; whoops. Bu...

What The Hell: Jarome Iginla Traded To Penguins
We went to bed thinking Jarome Iginla was going to be a Bruin. Nearly every single rumor had the 17-year vet heading to Boston, and when Iginla was a healthy scratch for Calgary's late-night game, it seemed a fait accompli. The sun rises to find Iginla in black and gold, but without the Bruins' spok...
Senators Owner Launching Forensic Investigation Into Erik Karlsson Injury
How do you forensically investigate an injury that is more than a month old? I don't know, but Eugene Melnyk is doing it, goddammit. Back in February, recently-reformed goon Matt Cooke took Erik Karlsson into the boards on a hit that left the Senators defenseman clutching his Achilles tendon. Cooke'...
Mr. T Scored From Center Ice, And It Might've Been The Greatest Moment In Hockey History
For the second straight Blackhawks game, a Chicago-native celebrity tried his hand at the "Shoot the Puck" intermission contest. But while Monday brought a rambling, possibly drunk Jim Belushi, last night saw a no-nonsense Mr. T show the puck and the United Center who's still the boss....

Nine months later, the Kings finally get their due as Stanley Cup champions. But they won't be alone. Obama's a busy man, and it's not like Washington's a hockey town. The Kings will share the stage with the MLS Cup champion Galaxy. ...
When The Kings Visit The White House, Their Coach Will Yell At President Obama About The Keystone XL Pipeline
Does a championship team ever get much out of visiting the White House? A photo with the president? Some knickknacks, maybe? Usually it's not a whole lot. Unless you're Los Angeles Kings coach Darryl Sutter, and you own a 3,000-acre ranch in Alberta, and you seek Barack Obama's approval of the Keyst...

Martin Brodeur Scores Goal Against Carolina Hurricanes (Sort Of)
This is one way to come back from an injury. Early in the first period, the Devils were called for a penalty so, as teams always do, Carolina pulled the goalie to get a man advantage until New Jersey could possess the puck. It's a pretty fail-safe strategy in that it's virtually impossible for anyt...

The LA Kings Are Being Sassy On Social Media Again
Last night: Kings over Coyotes, despite the best efforts of Phoenix's Shane Doan, who scored both goals and kept trying to fight a rookie after an accidental collision. So what happened? The L.A. Kings' Instagram profile, like the team's Twitter account always does, brought the sass. ...
Poor Dan Ellis Got Freight-Trained, Then Scored Upon
It's not supposed to work this way. Carolina goalie Dan Ellis was just minding his net and his own business, trying to wrest playing time from young Justin Peters in the wake of Cam Ward's MCL sprain.
