Hockey Last Night In Canada: We’re Halfway There
After a hard fought and very close game one, the Pittsburgh Penguins were looking to even the series heading home with a game two win. They played well enough to win the first game but lost out on the bounces. Last night, though, the problem wasn’t plays off the boards so much as the plays in front of the crease. Continue reading
Hockey (Last) Night In Canada: One Down…
The rematch that the hockey world has been waiting for kicked off with a bang. A nice ceremonial face-off started the series as one of hockey’s oldest legends, “Mr. Hockey” Gordie Howe, dropped the puck for legend-to-be, Sidney Crosby. Ted Lindsay was also part of the ceremonial puck drop with Nick Lidstrom. From there, it was game on at the Joe. Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off: Don’t Fear the Reaper
Sorry, I forgot to warn you guys that the Entertainment Link-Off was cancelled last week due to volunteer commitments. Yes, I do volunteer work. Steve likes to say that I’m a great humanitarian. Anyway, Entertainment Link-Off is back this week in full force. Headlining this article is Jenny Wade. You may recognize her as Honey Pie from the “Feast” movies or as the demon with a heart Nina on “Reaper”. She is also part of the cast of the only awesome CW pilot, “Body Politic”. I had lots of trouble finding pictures of her since she’s isn’t exactly well known around the net. You guys should definitely tune into “Reaper” if you want to check out how hot she is. This picture does not do any justice.
After the jump, more on the defunct CW, movie updates, the possible revival of Firefly and the preview for Body Politic (in case you missed it).
2009 Stanley Cup Finals Preview
After 46 days of playoff action, sixteen teams have been widdled down to the final two. Like last season, we have the Detroit Red Wings facing off against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Not much has changed for both teams. The key parts of both teams remain the same though Marian Hossa and Ty Conklin will wear Red instead of Black in this year’s battle. The main difference from one year ago is that the Penguins have one more year of playoff experience under their belts. Continue reading

Is The NHL Drug Policy A Joke?
The NHL’s performance enhancing substance testing policy is about to be put through the wringer once again. This time after a Lakeland, Florida man who claims to be Central Florida’s biggest steroids dealer was arrested and claimed to sell steroids to players from the Washington Capitals. The NHL has already had a couple of run-ins with steroid scandals that seem to have blown over despite criticism of league policy. Now that some of the league’s biggest stars could be suspects in a media conducted witch hunt, it’s a good time to actually examine the league’s performance enhancing drug policy. Continue reading
Hockey (Last) Night In Canada: The Rematch Is Set
After game four win without Nicklas Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk, Detroit would have to repeat the feat in game five. This time, they were also without breakout defensive star Jonathan Ericsson. They also had to face a Chicago side that now has nothing to lose and would be at its most dangerous. With the pressure off, the Blackhawks were loose and ready to have some fun on the Detroit River.
