Columbus Blue Jacket's rock star rookie goalie Steve Mason is DA BOMB! Bad pun? Too soon? Whatever, I'll get to that later. Anyway, last night Mason recorded his 10th shutout of the season as he blanked the Calgary Flames 5-0. Every time I see this kid do something magical like that I have to keep reminding myself that he is actually a rookie, and not a seasoned vet that is having a great season. This kid is having an unreal season, and 100% deserves the Calder this spring at the NHL awards ceremony. Now why is he the bomb? Well apparently there is a Flames fan in Ohio... yeah, WTF was m

Tonight the Edmonton Oilers fell 3-2 to the league leading Detroit Red Wings soley due to Hemsky's shitty defensive play. Hemmer was awful all night on the PK, and when sent out to shadow the likes of Hank or Marian, he just didn't live up to his pest potential. Hemmer should also be embarrassed as even Steve Staios blocked more shots than him. WAIT AN EFFIN MINUTE! I just about went into traction this morning when I read the following quotes from Hemsky:

Just in time for the playoffs, or the summer where you won't need a jacket... Roots has unveiled their new NHL team jackets. A few days ago I was contacted by one of the marketing people at Roots asking for little tidbits of information on each team that they have a jacket for. I obliged and it turns out they were nice enough to link to this website, and also my twitter account, so I figure what the hell, may as well show some love back and point the hockey f

Tuukka Rask of the Providence Bruins does his best impression of you name it, Hextal, Thomas, Roloson, whatever goalie you can think of first that frequently snaps in the crease. Friday night the Bruins played the Albany River Rats, and teams took it to a shootout. Below is the video of how this all started, but I'll give you the play-by-play: Forward: Skate skate skate, aw shit I lost the puck. Rask: Hah he lost the puck, I'm just gonna flop around here

First off, way to go Ovechkin! Nice work snagging your 50th goal of the season tonight. Now, to the rest of the media, how about you shut it? Ever since Don Cherry, who I still think is awesome btw, brought up that he thinks that Ovechkin celebrates too much after scoring a goal, everyone else has been jumping on the bandwagon too. I've tried to ignore this whole thing so far, but tonight when almost everyone on SportsNet got into it, Kypreos the worst, I figured that I'd have my say.

Just as we were all singing the praises of the winning-est goaltender of all time, news is just in today that Martin Brodeur has been ordered to pay alimony to his ex-wife Melanie DuBois. How much? How does $500,000 a year until 2020 sound? Are you kidding me?!?!?! That's $5.5 million if he has to pay up for this year... Marty said that he planned on retiring in 2012 and requested that he only have to pay till then, but the judge insisted on the extra eight years. So now what does t

Congratulations to Marty "Fatso" Brodeur for breaking the NHL all time record for goaltender wins last night! Marty took out the Blackhawks last night 3-2, en route to his 552nd NHL win. Marty definitely proved that he was the best tender out there by making a massive save off Troy Brouwer with only seconds to go. Apparently Gary Bettman was touched by the whole thing and decided to pen out a heart felt press release: "Martin Brodeur is the gold standard of goaltending -- the model of

I don't mean to brag, but I think that I may be onto something here, and figured that I'd share it with everyone. I started to get back into sports wagering this week and so far have done pretty good. So good that I'm thinking of maybe dedicating a section of this website to my picks and to post my win/lose results. Early in the week I deposited $200 at Sports Interaction, and am now up to $621.04 after only a few days of betting. Here are my bets so far this week, cut and paste directly

Scalpers chap my ass, they really do. There are few things that get on my nerves more than someone trying to take ridiculous advantage of something like sports tickets and the people that want them. I don't have season tickets, so I have to rely on local classifeds, ebay, friends or whatever to try and get my Oilers tickets, and unless they are coming via the friends route I usually find myself pulling my hair out. Tonight the Avalanche are here to play the Oilers, so Dad and I decided

I'm sure you've all heard the news now that Peter Pocklington was arrested a few days ago for bankruptcy fraud. Today though it looks like Peter Puck's old buddy Glen Sather bailed him out to the tune of $1 million. Slats doing this proves that no matter who trades (sells) who (Wayne Gretzky), your friends are always your friends and you have to help them when they are in need. Pocklington is obviously as dirty as they come, but it still shows highly of Slats to dig into his own pockets a
