Another night of Stanley Cup playoffs, another night of game threes. Last night, both games ended with a 3 goal difference. One team takes a 3-0 lead. Also a certain player managed to get his first ever career playoff hat-trick. It’s a special night for #3 indeed. Continue reading
There was a slight technical difficulty yesterday, but now the blog is back up and running. Last night was a set of game threes in the semi-finals of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Off the brilliant victory the other night, the Canadiens were hoping to catch onto the momentum to take on the series lead against the Penguins while the Detroit Red Wings were hoping to claw back into the series after dropping the first two games to the Sharks.

Kyle Wellwood is well known amongst the Canuckleheads for having some weight issues. So when somebody posted a joke story about the Kyle Wellwood annual Deep Dish Pizza tour of Chicago, NBC bought it as real. (SB Nation)

It’s time for all the news that’s not fit for print. It’s the Not News of the Week.
It’s the frivolous lawsuit of the week: An Indianapolis man is suing a convenience store chain for $11.5 Million of lottery winnings that he never won. The 70-year-old man picked the winning numbers of a draw in February 2008 but never got a ticket because the store’s clerk refused to sell him a ticket with only a few minutes before the cutoff. The man did have some proof that he picked the right numbers. He left his play sheet with the clerk and confirmed the numbers the next day. So the lesson is that we should all fill out a stack of play sheets with every possible combination of numbers and then sue for the winnings of the ticket we didn’t actually buy. Continue reading
It’s a series of game twos in the semi-finals of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Perhaps there was some sort of wake up call last night because key players from certain teams really stepped up. After a beating from the Penguins last game, Jaroslav Halak seems to be back in top form. Meanwhile in the shark tank, the big guns from San Jose finally found their offensive touch. Continue reading
Another set of game ones kicked off last night for the Stanley Cup playoffs semifinals. Over in the Eastern Conference, the two underdogs Flyers and Bruins faceoff in a high scoring match. In the Western Conference, the 2nd and 3rd ranked teams Blackhawks and Canucks kick off a rematch of last year’s semifinal playoff series. All four teams are showing some of their flaws and the winner of each series just might depend on how much they can cover it up with offensive firepower or perhaps whether they can take advantage of a slip-up by the other team.

I wasn’t sure who to lead with so here’s both Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson.
Well, Tiger Woods’ return to regular PGA Tour work was an epic failure. Maybe he really did mean “Bootyism” because Buddhism can actually make your golf game better. (Wall Street Journal)

Like Thursday’s game between the Wings and Sharks, last night’s game one between Montreal and Pittsburgh would see a tired team take on a rested team. However, the tired Habs had one key advantage heading into the game. Jaroslav Halak, who single-handedly carried Montreal past Washington, was the best player in hockey during the playoffs so far. But would he be enough to fend off the defending Stanley Cup champs? Continue reading
