Kings One Win Away From Stanley Cup; Rangers Sliding On Their Faces
The first thing that grabs the eye is, obviously, just how close this came to crossing the line and giving the Kings a 4-0 lead. Not really a big deal, but with 10 minutes left in the game a three-goal lead is not insurmountable. A fourth goal, though, would have emptied the Garden and packed Penn S...
Kings Score Buzzer-Beater Goal To End First Period
The Kings took their first lead of the series just before time expired in the first period of Game 3. After coming up empty on the power play, the Rangers seemed willing to skate the period out and head to the locker room for the first intermission. But with about five seconds left, the Kings carrie...
<i>Hockey Night In Canada</i>'s "Entertaining" Darryl Sutter Montage Is Great
Hockey Night In Canada continues to have fun doing its thing and tonight, before Game 3 between the Kings and Rangers in New York, HNIC poked some fun at Kings coach Darryl Sutter. It is the least interesting bits of Sutter post-game pressers throughout the playoffs, set to Joplin's "The Entertaine...
The Kings Beat The Rangers In Double Overtime
For the second consecutive game, the Kings and Rangers went to overtime and, for the second consecutive game, the Kings won. LA beat the Rangers 5-4, in double overtime to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final. ...
The Marty St. Louis Special
This one-timer from Derek Stepan to Martin St. Louis gave the Rangers a brief 3-1 lead in the second period. Three minutes later, Willie Mitchell scored on the power play to bring the Kings back within one. 11 seconds after that, Derick Brassard stuffed a bouncing puck past Jonathan Quick to put the...
L.A. Kings Put Will Ferrell "Go Kings Go" Video Sign Outside MSG
There is a monstrous video screen with Will Ferrell's mug shouting "Go Kings Go," and other ravings about losing his mind, in the shadow of the Empire State Building. The video screen is on the corner of 33rd and 7th avenue, one of the busier intersections in New York. For those unfamiliar with the ...
Clayton Kershaw And Kenley Jansen Impersonate Each Other's Windups
Clayton Kershaw and Kenley Jansen have two of the more unique windups in baseball, which makes them ripe for imitation. This fact is not lost on Kershaw and Jansen themselves, and so they spent some time before a recent game working to perfect their imitations of each other....
Guy Buys $1 Stanley Cup Tickets; StubHub Takes Them Away
Thanks to yet another StubHub seller who is bad at decimal places, a New York Rangers fan was able to purchase a few tickets for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals for $1 each (the purchase came with a $8.20 service fee, but who's complaining?). Unfortunately, this lucky Rangers fan probably won't end...
<em>Groundhog Day</em> Goes Sci-Fi: <em>Edge Of Tomorrow</em>, Reviewed.
1. Edge of Tomorrow is such a terrific idea for a movie that everyone involved seems to be in high spirits, like they all have a little pep in their step knowing they're making a good movie. There's so much junk out there that you can tell when the filmmakers know they've hooked a big one; there's a...
Dan Le Batard Savages The Pacers And All Of Indiana In His Latest Rant
We've long been fans of Dan Le Batard's rants, which he chooses to unleash whenever the Miami Heat have finished conquering a rival team or city. This year, Le Batard set his sights on the Pacers and the entire state of Indiana, spending nearly 10 minutes gloating over the Heat winning the Eastern ...

Unforgivable: <em>A Million Ways To Die In The West</em>, Reviewed.
1. Think about how much of an indictment it is to say, "All the good jokes are in the trailer" about a movie. Trailers, at most, are three minutes long. A Million Ways to Die in the West runs 116 minutes. That is a ton of time to comb through to dig out a Family Guy-esque gag about running into Emme...
Andrew McCutchen Goes A Long Way To Make A Splendid Catch
Don't let the unsure call take you out of the highlight (no offense to play-by-play man Tim Neverett). This catch by Andrew McCutchen is fantastic....
Time Is Not A Flat Circle: <em>X-Men: Days Of Future Past</em>, Reviewed
1. X-Men: Days of Future Past feels like one of those special-edition comic books that takes all the characters we know and love, drops them in some sort of parallel universe (so the storyline's ramifications don't affect the current canon timeline), and shakes up both the plot and those characters ...
Canada First: Why I Root For Teams I Hate
It's happening again. As Carey Price lay on the blue ice of his crease on Saturday afternoon, before he skated in a tentative circle, testing his weight on his knee, a familiar dread settled into the hearts of hockey fans across Canada. By Monday, Habs coach Michel Therrien had confirmed our worst f...
The Doc Emrick Soundboard Is Here
Last year we brought you this list of terms NBC hockey announcer Mike "Doc" Emrick used to describe passes in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, and then we set them to music. Now we're putting the power of Doc in your hands, with a clickable soundboard featuring 121 different clips of the legendary b...

Reports: Kevin Love Wants Out Of Minnesota, One Way Or The Other
Kevin Love has one year left on his contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves, but according to a report, he's looking to spend that final year on a better team, if possible....
Kill All Humans, Or At Least Mute Them: <em>Godzilla,</em> Reviewed.
1. The go-to example for critics complaining about big-budget summer blockbusters today—and how they've devolved from some past, theoretical peak—is Steven Spielberg's Jaws. One of that 1975 film's many genius innovations was to hold off, as long as possible, on ever letting us see the shark. The mo...
