Stat Line of the Night — 5/2/2013 — Craig Anderson
Hockey goaltenders that allow two goals against over the course of a 60 minutes game are rarely awarded the “Stat Line of the Night,” but there is always the occasional exception.

Remember the vuvuzela, and how is drove you absolutely insane while trying to watch the 2010 FIFA World Cup? Well, that may have been annoying, but at least the instrument was a genuine part of South Africa’s indigenous musical heritage.

This Video Montage From CBC Will Get You Pumped Up for Playoff Hockey (Video)
For the life of me, I can’t understand why any sports fan wouldn’t like hockey. Baseball? Sure, I get that. Baseball is probably my favorite sport, but I’ll admit that it’s basically just 45 minutes of action surrounded by two hours of pauses and crotch adjustments. Football? Sure, I get that, too.

Stat Line of the Night — 5/1/2013 — Jordan Zimmerman
Shutting down the Atlanta Braves’ potent line-up is no easy task, but don’t tell that to Washington Nationals pitcher, Jordan Zimmermann.
