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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Jonathan Quick Stands on His Head for 70 Minutes Only to Hand the Game to Alex Steen and the Blues in Overtime (Video)
Last night in St. Louis, the Blues dominated the defending Stanley Cup champion L.A. Kings for the majority of the game. They won 44 of 69 faceoffs, outshot the Kings 36-19 in regulation, and had the majority of the scoring chances. So how on earth did this game end up going into overtime? The answer [...]

CSN’s Susannah Collins Says the Secret to the Blackhawks’ Success Is “Tremendous Amounts of Sex” (Video)
The Chicago Blackhawks were the most dominant regular season team the NHL has seen in a long time. They started the lockout-shortened campaign by going 24 straight games without a loss in regulation. Then they went on to lose only six more games, compiling a record of 36-7-5 for an NHL-best 77 points and an [...]

Danica Patrick Shoots and Scores During the Chicago Blackhawks’ “Shoot the Puck” Contest (Video)
Here’s a question for you: what do Danica Patrick and Mr. T have in common? The obvious answer, of course, is “nothing at all.” One is a hot but somewhat underachieving female race car driver from Wisconsin, while the other is a burly black guy from the South Side of Chicago who got famous in [...]

“The Hangover: Stanley Cup Edition” Starring Kings Players and NHL on TSN Crew (Video)
Winning the Stanley Cup is great. It’s every hockey player’s ultimate dream. However, after a team takes home the chalice, they usually have to deal with what is known as the “Cup Hangover.” You see, to win the Cup, your team has to play somewhere between two weeks and two months longer than other teams.

The Likelihood of Each of the 16 NHL Playoff Teams Winning the Cup
After a strange, lockout-shortened regular season, the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs get underway Tuesday night. So who will win the greatest championship tournament in pro sports? Well, I personally am against making straight forward predictions. One of the best things about sports and one of the reasons we get so worked up about it is [...]

A Belligerent Charlie Sheen Got Kicked Out Of The Kings-Devils Game Last Night (Video)
It was a star-studded affair at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last night, with the L.A. Kings just one win away from their very first Stanley Cup. Unfortunately, all of the suddenly hockey-mad celebrities went home unhappy, since the Devils pulled out a gritty and exciting 3-1 victory to stave of elimination. So who [...]
