Hurricanes Owner Sued By His Three Large Adult Sons For $105 Million
There’s a real King Lear situation brewing within the Karmanos family, as the three large adult sons of Carolina Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos Jr. are suing their father for over $100 million, according to a lawsuit filed last week in Oakland County (Michigan) court. According to the sons (Nick, J...
Unhappy Nick Foles Is Skipping Rams OTAs
You can say a lot of things about that still-curious Nick Foles-Sam Bradford trade last spring, but you can’t say either team ripped off the other. Just as Bradford wants out of Philly, Foles isn’t pleased to be a third-string QB, and his making his displeasure known by his absence....
Patrick Marleau Won't Be Disciplined For Hit To Bryan Rust's Head
With his first-period goal, Bryan Rust has now scored six times in this postseason—a Penguins playoff rookie record. It may be a while before his next one. Early in the third, Rust suffered what appeared to be a concussion on this hit from Patrick Marleau....
Here's The Punjabi Call Of The Penguins' Game-Winner
Here’s Jim Hughson calling Nick Bonino’s goal with 2:33 left; a little understated. Here’s Doc Emrick; a little more excited, but come on guys, this is a tiebreaking goal late in a Stanley Cup Final game, let’s see some enthusiasm!...
Hot Damn, Sidney Crosby Was Great Last Night
You wouldn’t know it if you only looked at the stat sheet (or, um, if you watched the Warriors game instead), but that might have been one of the finest playoff games of Sidney Crosby’s career....
The New-Look Penguins Roll Deeper Than Ever
The Penguins are back in the Finals after their 2-1 Game 7 win over Tampa, but they are not the same old Penguins you love to hate. (But you can hate ‘em anyway.)...
The NHL Threatened To Fine The Lightning If They Didn't Shut Down Their Watch Party
The Tampa Bay Lighting hosted a very well-attended viewing party on Sunday for Game 5 of their Eastern Conference Finals series with Pittsburgh. Thousands went to the public showing (around 8,000 attended an analogous event last year), and the team had planned another official party for tonight’s Ga...
David Backes Chokes Up Talking About The Blues' Run
It was a very good season for a very good Blues team, a balanced roster that did everything well enough to get past two of the conference’s favorites and to make the NHL’s final four, but didn’t do anything quite well enough to make it further....
The Sharks Are In The Finals, Finally
Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau were the first two picks in the 1997 draft. They’ve played a couple thousand games in teal. They’ve both been captains, and both stripped of the “C” for perceived leadership failures and criticisms that for however good their Sharks were, they were never quite good e...
It's Matt Murray Or Bust
On his very last day as a 21-year-old, on the very first shot he saw, Matt Murray allowed a goal. Then he got an early birthday present: a coach’s challenge showed Jonathan Drouin had been offside by the merest fraction of a second. It was back to 0-0, and Murray got down to business....
Evgeni Malkin Slashed Ryan Callahan In His Penis And Balls
Ryan Callahan slashed Evgeni Malkin’s hands with his stick in the first period of Game 6, so the Pittsburgh center responded by taking a two-handed whack at Callahan’s down-belows. As Callahan’s reactions shows, he connected....
How Joe Pavelski Became A Tip Machine
It was, is, and will be for at least the next 36 hours the most important goal in Sharks history. Joe Pavelski’s redirection of a Brent Burns shot broke a third-period tie and stood up the rest of the way, the winner in a 6-3 victory that brings San Jose to within one game of the Stanley Cup Finals,...
Georges Laraque Helps Detain Suspect In Alleged Child Kidnapping Attempt
In broad daylight in Montreal’s busy Jeanne-Mance Park on Saturday, a 24-year-old man allegedly tried to walk off with a seven-year-old girl. The girl’s father and other family members tackled the man, and had a little help holding him until police arrived: former NHL enforcer Georges Laraque, who w...
Marc-Andre Fleury Is Back And Oh God That Went Poorly
This was certainly not the return Marc-Andre Fleury was hoping for. Starting for the first time since March, before a home crowd that cheered every time he made a save, Fleury, uh...didn’t make a lot of saves....

Holy Shit, That Joe Thornton Pass
The Sharks lead the postseason in plays that make their opponents’ fans exasperatedly say, “oh come the fuck on.” It’s a remarkably aesthetically pleasing brand of hockey they play, all speed and puck cycling and a preternatural awareness of their linemates’ positions only made possible by playing t...
Ted Leonsis Gets Roasted By Blogger
The following is the most satisfying three-act play you will ever witness, in which Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis attempts to make a crack about Yahoo’s decline and dragged out sale process, and gets positively roasted by Puck Daddy proprietor Greg Wyshynski in return:...
The Lightning Projected <i>Mario Kart</i> On The Ice Between Periods
I’m on record as a big fan of those on-court and on-ice projection systems proliferating throughout our nation’s arenas, but Tampa might have achieved apotheosis. ...
Confused Phil Kessel Admits His Breath Stinks
Penguins winger Phil Kessel had a goal and assist in Wednesday’s win over the Lightning, but when he wasn’t on the ice, the broadcast showed him winded and hunched over on the bench. Pierre McGuire interviewed Kessel after the game and asked, “How’s your breath?” Kessel didn’t realize the question w...
