Check Out the Nasty Nutshot Detroit’s Jimmy Howard Took from Anaheim’s Corey Perry (GIFs)
On Wednesday night, the Anaheim Ducks beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 in overtime to take a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven playoff series, putting the Wings on the brink of elimination. It was a loss that no doubt must have felt like a good kick to the nuts. Of course, not all of the [...]

Sidney Crosby Scores Highlight Reel Goal Reminiscent of Another Legendary Penguins Playoff Goal (Videos)
The mighty Pittsburgh Penguins haven’t torn the New York Islanders limb from limb in their opening round playoff series the way most people probably assumed they would. In fact, after winning Game 1 without their best player—one Sidney Crosby—the Penguins then went and lost two of their next three games, causing some to speculate that [...]

This Day In Sports History (May 10th) — Bobby Orr
It was on this day in 1970 that the Boston Bruins beat the St. Louis Blues to capture the team’s first Stanley Cup since 1941. The Bruins won the game 4-3 in overtime to sweep the Blues in their best-of-seven series. Game Four of the series would go into overtime, but it did not last [...]

Smart Toronto Hockey Fans Fight Outside Arena Before the Game So They Don’t Get Kicked Out (Video)
This is just a casual observation from someone who writes about the subject often, but it seems to me that most fan fights go down either during the game, right there in the stands, or after the game, out in the parking lot. You rarely see fights between fans outside the venue before a game. [...]

Maple Leafs’ Mark Fraser Take a Wicked Puck to the Face (Video)
We all know NHL players are tough, but during the Stanley Cup Playoffs they’re just ridiculous. They can lose a tooth, break a foot, or take a gash to the forehead, and chances are they’ll just miss a few shifts and get back onto the ice. So why do I bring this up? Well, I [...]

Stat Line of the Night — 5/8/2013 — David Krejci
Any time an athlete does something that gets 5,000 people to throw $125,000 worth of hats on the ice, it’s pretty special. When you get them to do it during the playoffs? Well, that’s even better. Of course, in the case of the Boston Bruins’ David Krejci, these hats were figurative and not literal. The [...]

The Paul MacLean Doppelganger Is Back, and this Time He’s Behind the Opposing Team’s Bench (Video)
Is it just me, or are NHL teams taking playoff gamesmanship to a whole new level these days? Last year, during the Stanley Cup Finals between the Kings and Devils, adult film star Taylor Stevens and her rather impressive rack somehow ended up right behind Devils coach Peter DeBoer. Of course, some may say that [...]

Red Wings Fan Shakes Her Breasts at the Refs (Video)
There were plenty of remarkably pleasing sights to take in during Game Four of the first-round playoff series between the Detroit Red Wings and the Anaheim Ducks last night (unless, of course, you are a Ducks fan). For starters, there were several key, highlight reel saves made by goaltender Jimmy Howard. Here’s a look at [...]

CBC Camera Catches a Leafs Fan Smoking a Joint (Video)
According to a survey conducted by UNICEF on child well-being in rich countries, “Canada’s young people have the highest rate of cannabis use” among “developed countries,” at 28%. And falling within that 28% of young Canadian pot smokers is this Toronto Maple Leafs fan, who was caught by CBC’s camera taking a puff from a [...]

Sens Rookie Jean-Gabriel Pageau Lost a Tooth While Scoring His First Career Playoff Goal (Video)
During the Stanley Cup Playoffs, success comes at a steep price. A team doesn’t succeed without a 100% buy-in from each of its players, and an individual doesn’t succeed without a willingness to get gritty and take a few lumps. And nobody complains. That’s just how it is, and it’s all worth it if you [...]

This Day In Sports History (May 6th) — Hartford Whalers
It was on this day in 1997 that Hartford Whalers owner Peter Karmanos officially announced that the team would be relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina, and be known as the Carolina Hurricanes. Karmanos was frustrated with the team’s poor attendance figures as well as a lack of corporate support, which prompted the move to North [...]

Canadiens and Senators Engage in Epic Playoff Line Brawl (Videos)
You generally don’t see as many hockey fights during the playoffs as you do in the regular season. The reason is that, during the playoffs, every single minute is crucial, and every single player is needed. If a guy isn’t deemed absolutely crucial to his team, then he isn’t in the lineup. So teams just [...]

Washington Capitals Fan Takes a Nap During Exciting 3-1 Playoff Victory (Photo)
NHL fans are already a pretty wacky bunch, and when the Stanley Cup Playoffs roll around you can usually count on them to take things to another level. However, at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. last night, there was one guy who was just not feeling it. Despite the fact this his team, the [...]

Senators Steal Win over Canadiens, But Eric Gryba’s Dirty Hit on Lars Eller Steals Headlines (Video)
Last night the seventh-seeded Ottawa Senators beat the second-seeded Montreal Canadiens 4-2 to snatch a one-game lead in their opening round playoff series against their regional and divisional rivals. However, they only did it after one of their players knocked a top Montreal forward out of the game and, in all likelihood, out of the [...]

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. If you don’t [...]
