Boston Pilot Uses Crying Baby To Drop A Burn On Sidney Crosby

In yesterday's NHL Eastern Conference finals game between the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins, the Bruins crushed the Pens in Pittsburgh, 3-0, to take a 1-0 series lead. The biggest uproar from the night, however, may have come following a vicious, illegal hit early in the second period. ...

Ottawa's Double-OT Winner Was Not A Thing Of Beauty

Kris Letang Cross-Checked A Linesman. That's A Suspension...Right?
Between Eric Gryba getting two games for a borderline hit that resulted in injury, and nobody from this Sens-Habs mess being punished, NHL playoff discipline seems even more "spin the wheel" than usual. But shoving an official would seem pretty clear-cut, no?...

Penguins Fan Gets Kicked Out Of Nassau Coliseum For Being Shithoused
"Sandstorm" plays in the background as a security guard escorts this super drunk Pittsburgh Penguins fan out of his seat.

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...

Flyers-Penguins Is The NHL's Best Rivalry
You could call it hockey for people who don't like hockey, but that's a disservice to those of us who love a good, boring, defensive clinic, and also love Flyers-Penguins barnburners.

Erik Karlsson, the reigning Norris Trophy winner as the NHL's best defenseman, was putting on another spectacular year. And now it's done.
