Evgeni Malkin Was an Answer on College Jeopardy, But Apparently Kids at Tufts University Don’t Watch a Lot of Hockey (Video)
Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, is full of blue bloods and smarties on the fast track for high-powered jobs in law, medicine, science, and politics. It is not, however, fully of hockey fans. Squash and golf? Sure, you bet. But not hockey. We know this because of a recent episode of College Jeopardy featuring a [...]

The 13 Best Game 7s in the History of the Stanley Cup Playoffs
This week we were treated to two Game 7s in the Stanely Cup Playoffs. One of them was between the Rangers and Capitals; the other was between the Bruins and Leafs. And while the former was a boring blowout—sorry, Capitals fans—the latter, on first glance, was an all-time classic. Or at least it that’s how [...]

Watch NESN Announcer Jack Edwards’ Reaction to the Bruins’ Epic Comeback Victory Over the Leafs (Video)
Earlier this season we got a glimpse of how Boston Bruins TV announcer and notable homer Jack Edwards would respond if the Bruins erased a late three-goal deficit. The Bruins did just that on February 12 against the Rangers, and Edwards went absolutely nuts up in the booth. However, that game would ultimately end in [...]

Here Is Every Overtime Goal from the First Round of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs (Video)
The best thing about the Stanley Cup Playoffs? That would be sudden death overtime. The only other league that has anything nearly as cool as this for the playoffs is the NFL. There you kind of have sudden death overtime…after both teams get a possession…unless the team with first possession scores on their first play, [...]

30 Classic Hockey Hairdos
There’s so much to celebrate about hockey players, from their incredible physical fitness to their utter disregard for dental health. Today, however, we’re going to focus on just one admirable trait of professional hockey players: awesome hair. For years these guys have had the best hair of any sport outside soccer, and while you would [...]

Behold, the Saddest Toronto Maple Leafs Fan You Will See All Day (Video)
Watching your team blow a three-goal lead midway through the third period, and a two-goal lead with less than 1:30 remaining in regulation is not easy, especially when it comes during Game 7 of their first NHL playoff series in nine years. Toronto Maple Leafs fans had to deal with such heartbreak following their epic [...]

The Bruins’ Epic Game 7 Comeback Is the Maple Leafs’ Epic Game 7 Collapse (Videos)
Last night in Boston, the Bruins staged one of the greatest single game comebacks we’ve seen in any sport in recent memory, and certainly one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Down by three goals halfway through the third period of Game 7 against the Maple Leafs, the Bruins [...]

Remember last week when we told you about how Maple Leafs defenseman Mark Fraser took a slap shot to the face during Toronto’s Game 4 loss to the Boston Bruins? Well, it turns out that the injury was pretty much just as bad as it looked. As we told you as the time, Fraser was [...]

The Guy Sitting Next to Elisha Cuthbert at Game 4 of Leafs-Bruins Wants You to Know “It Wasn’t Him” (Pics)
Well, that little situation involving a death stare from April Reimer that was supposedly not directed at Elisha Cuthbert just went from amusing to hilarious. You remember what happened, right?

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 [...]
