Rather Worthwhile Hockey Game Tonight, We Think

Rather Worthwhile Hockey Game Tonight, We Think

We know we haven't been the most attentive observers of the NHL, like, at all this year, but we think even those involved in the running of the league would have to agree that it appears a wave has crested, and we're all going to need a while until the NHL excites us again. It happens. No one should...

And There Shall Be A Game Seven

And There Shall Be A Game Seven

The Edmonton Oilers housed the Carolina Hurricane Whalers last night, cruising to an easy 4-0 victory. And thus, there will be a Game 7, and it will be good....

Fan Anger, In Still Life

Fan Anger, In Still Life

An eagle-eyed reader — that is to say, by "eagle-eyed," we mean to say "actually watching hockey" — pointed out this angry fan directly after Edmonton's sudden death goal to win Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals last night over Carolina....

We Have Not Forgotten About The NHL. Honest.

We Have Not Forgotten About The NHL. Honest.

OK, you're right; we've been somewhat neglecting our hockey friends. It's just that it's really hard to get fired up about an NHL title in a city where ice had to be shipped in by train until 1941. (Yes, we know they were once the Hartford Whalers. And Elizabeth Taylor was once hot). But we promise ...

Lord Stanley Sashays Over To NBC

In case you haven't noticed (and judging by the ratings, you haven't *), the Carolina Hurricanes have opened up a 2-0 lead against the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals. The series moves back to Edmonton (and back to network television) this evening....

Your Halfhearted Stanley Cup Pants Party

Your Halfhearted Stanley Cup Pants Party

We have felt somewhat guilty around these parts for our almost total lack of Stanley Cup coverage. We have meant no offense; we just don't get a particularly strong "Holy crap, the Stanley Cup finals are starting tonight! Gooooo Hurricanes!" vibe. In fact, since the NHL playoffs started, we've recei...

Brian Bellows Is A Superstar

Brian Bellows Is A Superstar

I hate to cheat on YouTube, but we’re going to close today with this Google Video. It’s Kevin Stevens and Bryan Trottier of the Penguins harassing Brian Bellows of the Minnesota North Stars... and for some reason, I can’t stop watching this. I can’t thank the Airing of Grievances enough for the find...

Wife-Swapping And Game Fixing

Wife-Swapping And Game Fixing

Some clever guys at "The Beast," a satirical newspaper in Buffalo, made some truly legendary prank phone calls to the mayors of both Ottawa and Buffalo as the Sabres and Senators go head-to-head in the NHL playoffs. They ended up propositioning the wife of Buffalo mayor Byron Brown, and then getti...

The Stanley Cup Gets Crunk

The Stanley Cup Gets Crunk

The Stanley Cup is currently making its way around the country, promoting the upcoming playoffs and picking up girls. It made a stop in Atlanta yesterday, so that means, of course, that Lil Jon popped in for a photo op....

How To Motivate Your Goalie

How To Motivate Your Goalie

We've all thought it, particularly when watching games involving the Devil Rays, the Knicks or the Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals: We'd have to be able to do better than these idiots, right? During a Montreal Canadiens practice yesterday, one idiot acted on just that....

Love Customs of the Frozen North

Love Customs of the Frozen North

OK, we officially love hockey right now. On Monday, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Darcy Tucker became involved in a fight with New Jersey's Cam Janssen, and during the tussle pulled Janssen's helmet off and began hitting him with it. Could you imagine that happening in any other sport. We mean, one th...

Carnival Of The NHL, No. 15!

Carnival Of The NHL, No. 15!

As mentioned, earlier this week, we were cordially invited to host the weekly/bi-weekly Carnival Of The NHL, which we were honored to do, mainly because we need to brush up on our hockey, a sport we struggle with sometimes because the Cardinals don't play it....

Carnival Of The NHL!

Carnival Of The NHL!

There's a cool little Web tradition called "Carnival Of The NHL," (they have one for the NBA too) where sports bloggers host all kinds of other sports bloggers' great posts about what's going on in the NHL. (If you're confused, here's the most recent one.) Because we're the new guys around here an...

Somebody Has A Friend In ESPN's Search Tag Department

Our pal Bucky at Animal New York informed us of a most amusing Google game this morning. For whatever reason, if you happen to type the term "big dick" into your Google search engine, the first entry that comes up, inexplicably, is the ESPN bio of Vancouver Canucks wing Richard Park....

Now Blogging For NHL.com ...

Off Wing Opinion beat us to this, because they're really into hockey and we can't even wear skates without falling down. Apparently taking a cue from MLB Blogs, NHL.com has added a new blog section to its site. But those who run hockey have a much better idea of what works online; whereas the sig...
