If you thought double the OT was double the fun, last night featured a game that went into triple overtime! Could you say ‘triple the OT, triple the fun’? Meanwhile 3 goalies went on a hot streak stopping all pucks that they encountered during the game. Another team makes an early exit from the playoffs and it might not be the one you were expecting.

Another exciting night of hockey playoffs. A few teams are pulling away and are closing in on clinching the series while others are tied up once again. At the end of the night, a few things felt all too familiar. Whether it was the score of the game or the player that saved the day or a situation that resembles a matchup that took place back in 2000, it certainly brought up some good hockey memories no matter when it took place.

Another night of close hockey games as two required overtime to determine the winner and none of the games had a goal differential greater than 2. It was a night of solid goaltending from two of the winners. Most of the teams that lost their last game managed to claw back yesterday night. With all this back and forth, could all the series end up going to game sevens? Continue reading
The first night of the 2010 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs had a recurring theme. If you weren’t the favourite in the series, you had a very good night. In what will go down as a prime example of parity in the new NHL, all four of the consensus underdogs in each series picked up the Game One win. Continue reading
For the 25th time in the blog’s history, it’s time for all the news not fit for print. It’s time for the Not News of the Week.
A new study released in Germany finds that men will live longer if they stare at women’s breasts. The researchers say that staring at breasts leads to sexual excitement which gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation. A study of 500 men showed that men who stared at women’s breasts had lower blood pressure, slower resting heart rates, and fewer episodes of coronary artery disease. The study said that men should stare at larger breasts for at least 10 minutes a day. This study is bound to make small talk difficult for men who follow this study. That’s especially true when guys use the pickup line “I have to stare at your chest because it helps me to live longer.” Continue reading
Two more elimination games highlighted last night’s NHL schedule as both Philadelphia and Columbus faced the end of their seasons. Meanwhile, San Jose was looking to tie their series and Carolina was looking to take their first lead of their series. Continue reading
If you had access to a TV today, you were in hockey heaven. Sunday’s four games had hard hits, scoring, drama, and loud fans that you had to be asleep not to enjoy it. Continue reading
NY Rangers 1 @ Toronto 2 (SO) – It wasn’t the prettiest game ever and neither team really deserved to win but Nikolai Kulemin’s shootout goal was all the Make Believes needed for two points. New Rangers coach John Tortorella was already calling out his team after one game saying that they needed better conditioning. Well, that’s one way to get them on your side.
NY Islanders 0 @ Pittsburgh 1 – Petr Sykora scored with less than 3 minutes left in the game to prove that the Pens don’t need Sidney Crosby to compete. They just need him to have any jump. Without Sid the Kid, the Pens played down to the level of the cellar-dwelling Islanders and were lucky to escape with a win.
Los Angeles 0 @ Philadelphia 2 – In another exhibition of an offensive master class, Jeff Carter scored in a scramble in front and Simon Gagne scored an empty netter to pickup two points for the Flyers. Martin Biron made 34 saves for his 25th career shutout.
San Jose 1 @ Detroit 4 – Henrik Zetterberg scored a highlight real goal while short handed to put the dagger to the Sharks. In a game that was being hyped for the return of super villain Claude Lemieux’s return to Detroit, there were no major incidents involving the cheap-shotting one. The win moves the Wings within 3 points of the Sharks for top spot in the West but the Sharks still have two games in hand. As a bonus, here’s that Zetterberg goal.
