Awesome round one so far. Had some great battles to the death (game 7) and a shocker, or not, thrown in there as well. Here is a quick recap: Wings/Jackets - Poor Jackets had to face the Wings in their first ever playoff appearance... poor guys... got rocked like everyone expected. Sharks/Ducks - CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE Canucks/Blues - Didn't expect the Nucks (or CANOOKS like Jason whatever on SportsNet calls them) to be able to deal with the Blues that quickly. Flames/Hawks - CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE x2. Why x2? The Flames thought they locked the #3 seed in a long time ago, but choked in the r

Holy shit, this guy must be made of the same stuff that Jason Smith, Al Iafratie, Cam Neely, etc was. Goes out there, brakes his finger blocking a shot, and then goes off to the bench with a look on his face like "I've eaten worse shit for breakfast. Give me a splint and I'll be back!" I LOVE GUYS THAT HAVE HEART LIKE THIS! If you can eat pucks for breakfast and still continue in the game, you are a beauty! This is the kind of stuff that wins playoff series... not being a Pierre Mcguire "MONSTER"

I usually find James Mirtle to be a good source of info about the NHL, but I had to laugh at what he wrote today on his blog about a second team landing in Toronto. "I likely wouldn't have said this prior to moving to Toronto, but after having lived here for six or seven years, it's very clear that a second team in – or close to – the city would be a huge success. The demand for NHL tickets is so incredible at the moment, even with a very poor team, that the Leafs can charge whatever they please, and it's downright impossible to get a decent seat to a game for less than $200. Many lower

If the referee looked like this last night I'd easily forgive her, but obviously he didn't and therefore there is no forgiveness. So anyway, last night during the Canucks / Blues game, there was an obvious goal (obvious if you watched the replay in the slowest motion I've ever seen), and it was called off. The ref was standing right on top of the net and didn't see the puck cross the line so waved it off right away. Watch the replay, and yeah the puck went in, then back out, then partially covered by Luongo, THEN the ref blew the whistle. So I'm sitting on the couch swearing away, not be

Dear Montreal Canadiens fans, You are formally being chastised by the hockey world for your ignorant and arrogant ways, most recently for booing the Star Spangled Banner last night when the Boston Bruins came to town. Yes, you are getting your ass kicked by the Bruins, yes you may think that you need to do whatever it takes, but for eff's sake make a sign or something to slam your most hated player on the opposing team, DON'T BOO DURING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM! Yeah, the Boston Bruins are located in the USA, but ever look at that roster? I just did a quick count, and there are five Americ

Yeah yeah this picture isn't from last night, but when I saw Vince Vaughn in his Chicago Blackhawks gear last night, along with his hot girlfriend Kyla Weber, I just had to throw up a picture of the couple. Vince is obviously a happy camper being a Blackhawks fan, but his Albertain girlfriend most likely isn't too happy with the result of the Hawk's / Flames series so far, unless she is from Edmonton and is just being "that fan" with the flames jersey in the above photo. Either way, nice job Vince in finding a girlfriend that appreciates the best sport in the world!

I know there has been some debate about the pink jerseys this year, some saying they are ridiculous and others saying that they are cute. Regardless, I think they look good, and one of the most famous internet video bloggers, iJustine, rolled the cameras last night at game 1 of the Penguins / Flyers series. Don't know who iJustine is? Here is her self bio: "New media chick, Apple fan girl and the internet. Blogger, geek, internet video producer / editor, designer, tech addict, iPhone app obsessed! I edit all of my own videos! :)" Anyway, check out the video and tell me that the pink NHL jer

In what will come as a surprise to no one, the New York Islanders won the 2009 draft lottery and are slated to pick first in the draft. Why do I say slated? Well apparently Brian Burke in Toronto thinks that he will be able to wrestle the #1 pick out of anyone's hands, so we'll see what happens. I'm not sure what the Islanders would want in return for that #1 pick though as I see either of the top two prospects being franchise changing players. Anyway, enough talk about the center of the universe (Toronto). Here is the bottom 14 draft order for 2009: 14. Florida Panthers 13. Buffalo

Apparently nobody is interested in the Tiger Woods '09 Golf Tournament that I mentioned before, so I guess I'll give you what I really want... the 2009 NHL Playoff Schedule for round one with TV stations included. Thanks again to Brain Langille from The Langille Show for putting this together again. Nice work man! Here you go: 2009 NHL Playoff Schedule for iCal

Looks like someone in Calgary has a serious man crush on Jarome Iginla - yes, even a bigger crush than a guy I know here in Edmonton that wishes he could be on the receiving end of an Iginla fist wrist shot - if you know what I mean. Anyway, here is the video that as of right now has 26,000 views. I don't care which team you are a fan of, or if you like or hate Iginla, you are going to like this video in some way so click play and watch it already!
