Perry got a penalty, though. Read more

Can we talk about how Milan Lucic is the biggest shitbag in sports?

When I was in 4th grade, I joined the newly formed "Dad's Club" softball league. Being a new league, there were few regulations in place. So there was a notable lack of a mercy rule.
In one of our first games, we played a team with an above-average group of fourth graders. Meaning they could all hit. My team,… Read more

A friend of mine was born without his right hand. He has a small "nub" instead. When he was young, he used a prosthetic hand that he didn't like very much. We were on a soccer team for 6 and 7 year olds, and during one game he was using his prosthetic hand (and had had it on all day) when it became uncomfortable. So… Read more

Probably more like a Winter Classic bump, those Winter Classic jerseys sold like hotcakes. Read more

I mostly put that in to annoy people, but I had Richards and Howard in mind. MAF had a really good season, and you figure he's the obvious third choice for people who already own Crosby/Malkin sweaters. Read more

I'm going to politely ask that people don't use homophobic language while discussing Edson. Call him an idiot/moron/whatever, but please don't say Yahoo-level stuff. Read more

I have a super-fond memory of drinking Kelso in Prospect Park one sunny day. I'm also a big kolsch fan, but those are a little less common and less familiar, so I'm not sure how well a kolsch post would fly outside of a dedicated beer site, you know? (I mean, we cheated with the "spring beer" head just to get people… Read more

They were in fact all pilsners. If you read the article, you might have seen where he said he rated 24 pilsners. Not a mix of saisons, pilsners, wits, farmhouse ales, etc. Read more

You are surprised that several non-pilsner beers didn't make the list of 24 ranked pilsners? :) Read more

Cumin is a different plant.

Some observations: Read more

Lanny.

Neither a Wings or Avs fan but this one is just classic, one of my favorites from when I was growing up.

USA Women win the first-ever Olympic gold medal, Nagano 1998. The reason I started playing hockey.

3rd period, game 7, 1994 Stanley Cup Finals. The puck is headed back towards the blue-line after ringing off the (goddamn) post. That's how close this game came to OT. Can you imagine? I'll hear the "ping!" in my head till the day I die, which will be 6 months earlier than it should be, because of what is happening in…

It's easy to pick fight photos: The blood against the ice, broken teeth, sweaters pulled over some alcoholic Canadian's head. But was there anything better than those Avs/Wings tilts in the 90s? Scotty even got into it. Holmstrom had to hold him off the ice. (Side note: Look at all the legends in this shot: Fedorov,…

I've always been partial to this one, with Konstantinov suffering career-ending limo accident, and being on the ice in his wheelchair during the next year's cup celebration.
