Hulk Hogan, Everybody's Cheerleader
The Flyers rolled out the Hulkster to rile up the home crowd with the promo video you see above, which was shown during yesterday's Game 3 victory over the hated Penguins.

This Young Pens Fan Brought Her Teddy Bear To Last Night's Game. The Bear's Name? "Miller Lite."
Kids give their stuffed animals crazy names. When I was little, I had a stuffed bunny named "Ted Kennedy." So maybe I shouldn't be too shocked that this young fan, interviewed in Pittsburgh before last night's Pens-Flyers matchup in the Stanley Cup playoffs, has a bear named "Miller Lite." Some sh...

NHL Ministry Of Truth: John Tortorella Was Fined For Cursing, Not For Calling Out "Whining" Penguins
Gary Bettman: "I think he did it four times ... He's a professional. He knows better than that. As emotional as you get, when you're a head coach in this league, when you're in a public media session, you shouldn't be cursing."...
John Tortorella Is Pissed Off At Pittsburgh And "Their Two Whining Stars"

Wrestlemania Got An Early Start At Today's Penguins-Flyers Game
The last minute or so of today's Pens-Flyers matchup on NBC was a big chunk of madness, but our favorite part is this—in which a Hulkamania-inspired Pens fan who spent most of the game giving shit to Scott Hartnell and the Flyers gets what's coming to him in the form of some masterful trolling. Or...
Sidney Crosby Was Knocked Out Of Tonight's Game By A Puck To The Face
Poor Sid Crosby just can't catch a break. He can, however, catch a puck in the nose, as happened tonight at Nassau during the second period of the Penguins' clash with the Islanders. Crosby—just a few weeks returned from yet another lengthy tenure off the ice due to concussion symptoms—actually ma...
Marc-Andre Fleury Was Not Injured, So Feel Free To Laugh At Him Getting Bulldozed By A Teammate
Until we could get word on his condition, we've avoided making fun of Marc-Andre Fleury's collision after leaving his net for a poke check on Frans Nielsen's breakaway at the end of the second period of a 5-3 Islanders win.

AHL Player Turns Into Crazy Person, Decides To Fight Everybody And Their Goalie
Steve MacIntyre is one of those guys who's always up and down from the NHL, and garners more penalty minutes than scoring chances. So, even with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, he's exactly the sort you'd expect to completely lose his mind and challenge the entire opposing team to a fight. All...
"Somebody Fucking Go": Broadcaster Mocks Dion Phaneuf's Girly Voice When He Thinks He's In Commercial
Ray Ferraro called TSN's broadcast of Leafs/Penguins tonight, and as sometimes happens with online streams (in this case, the NHL's GameCenter Live), viewers watching during televised ad breaks were treated to a live mic. And while we've heard announcers swear before, hearing Ferraro take a stab a...
Sidney Crosby's Brain Still Hurts
Remember when Crosby had to sit for two games because, in the words of Penguins general manager Ray Shero, he "wasn't feeling 100 percent"? That was three weeks and eight games ago.

It Took All Of 16 Seconds For Sean Avery To Get Into A Fight With The Penguins
Calling it a "fight" is a bit misleading—the participants were only assessed two minute roughing minors—but the efficiency by which it was commenced is worth noting, especially since Sean Avery didn't appear to actually start this fight with the Penguins' Tyler Kennedy. (He took a more active part...
