Are the Golden Knights too hurt to trade for Jack Eichel?
The NHL’s biggest on-ice soap opera, the Jack Eichel trade derby, appears to have rounded the final turn. Last night, ESPN’s Emily Kaplan said that the Calgary Flames and Vegas Golden Knights are the finalists. Both teams are fine with the neck procedure Eichel wants but that the Sabres wouldn’t all...
The Golden Knights sure know how to lose, just like the tourists they’re built around
It’s no secret that Las Vegas is built on losers. They don’t construct a new hotel per week because everyone goes there and takes down the blackjack tables. It’s a town with a foundation on losing. You lose, they win....
Nazem Kadri cost the Avs everything
Hockey is a truly vicious sport, in that the team that wins the Presidents’ Trophy — i.e. the team that is best over the largest sample size — rarely “justifies” that achievement in the playoffs. You have to go all the way back to the Hawks in 2013, another shortened season, to find a team that was ...
The Avalanche are granny shifting
It’s hard to think of a series the past few years that has been more anticipated than Avalanche-Golden Knights. Rarely do the two best teams in the NHL meet up before the third round, or more likely at all given the vagaries of hockey. But with the divisional setup this year, it was going to be hard...
Kreider does it all but it’s not enough for hapless Rangers
In most sports, it’s fairly common to have an outstanding individual performance be nothing more than a silver lining in defeat....
Vegas's Second Line Is Unstoppable Right Now
For all the things that went right for Vegas in its inaugural season last year, its second line occasionally proved a headache. The combo of James Neal, Erik Haula, and David Perron put in some goals, but was a defensive disaster—George McPhee claimed it was dead last in the league among second line...
Tomas Tatar Spoiled Max Pacioretty's Return To Montreal
Max Pacioretty’s first career season playing outside of Montreal isn’t exactly going how he hoped. While the former Canadiens captain appeared to be exiting a rebuilding franchise when he got traded to the Golden Knights this off-season in the final year of his contract, Vegas has endured a bumpy st...
The Golden Knights And Canadiens Made A Fascinating Trade
The second-year Vegas Golden Knights are operating as if they’re in win-now mode, and why not? They absolutely are. Meanwhile the Montreal Canadiens are trading away their captain in the middle of the night. So that’s how things are going!...
Pro wrestler Sean Waltman, better known as X-Pac, has had his case dropped, according to TMZ. Waltman was arrested at LAX in April and suspected of possessing meth, but the L.A. County District Attorney tested the capsules and found that they were not a controlled substance, and the weed he had did ...

Cops: X-Pac Was Trafficking Meth Out Of LAX [Update]
Pro wrestler Sean Waltman was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport over the weekend. Per a police report, the grappler best known as X-Pac was caught with 38 capsules containing amphetamine or methamphetamine, three chocolate weed bars, a few liquid weed cigarettes and $736.10 in cash....
It's Time To Bring Back The Six-Pack
One foolish afternoon a long, long time ago, Drunkspin risked a lifetime banishment from the good graces of the Craft Beer Movement by suggesting that even the very finest beers—the ones with corks and waiting lists and wicked kickass dragons and/or puns on the labels—contain alcohol, which has been...
Max Pacioretty Makes A Nice Pass For An Assist ... To The Wrong Team
This is not Canadien forward Max Pacioretty's finest moment, as he clearly thought the man behind him was a teammate, not Lightning forward Steven Stamkos. Stamkos still had to get off a nice snipe to beat Carey Price, but the man is third in the NHL in goals. He doesn't need any extra help. ...
