The puck hasn’t dropped yet but this season is already shaping up to be a wild one. It feels like just yesterday that my favourite players were wearing oddly coloured jerseys plastered in ads and today SO MUCH HAPPENED. Be careful of what you wish for, right? Continue reading
We follow a ton of European hockey teams through social media now that the lockout is in full swing. And believe me when I say it’s entertaining shit, as evidenced by some of our earlier posts. Teams will post just about anything and fans are treating NHL players like gods. One team that stands out … Continue reading
As the title suggests, athletes can’t act well. Not even for a 30 second commercial. But it’s their inability to carry a line naturally that makes the commercials fun to watch. Here’s a look at a bunch of commercials you’ve definitely already seen because it’s the lockout and I’m bored, so why not? Continue reading
Here are the 2012 Hockey Hall of Fame inductees, all posey-posey in their flashy new jackets and rings. Looking fresh, boys. You’ll notice the portraits of other Hall of Famers in the bg. Bobby, is that you I spy? Because really it could be anyone. The thing that always gets me, when I’m strolling through … Continue reading

Add Tyler Bozak to the list of people who fucked up their Halloween costume via ignorance. The Leafs centre went as Michael Jackson’s character in Thriller for Halloween – not because he’s a racist but because he was apparently sleeping last year when Raffi Torres went as Jay-Z and everyone thought it was SO HILARIOUS. Uh … Continue reading

The KHL was slated to play two games at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center this January but they just announced the match up between Dynamo Moscow ad SKA St. Petersburg will be moved back to Russia. Citing fan disappointment, the KHL believes their fans deserve to watch the premiere series. This of course … Continue reading
What was with yesterday, today? Maybe it’s because of Twitter but it seems EVERYTHING is just such a big deal in the hockey world. Don Cherry having an opinion on another (gasp!) sport caused everyone to get all up-in-arms. Who gives a shit if he wants to comment on baseball? The old man needs something … Continue reading
Disgruntled hockey fans convened at the corner of York and Bremner yesterday in downtown Toronto in an attempt to voice their opinion on the NHL lockout that’s currently underway. The good guys behind We Want a Cup organized this Hockey Not in Canada rally, but let’s be serious here, this was not a rally, this … Continue reading
My autumn mornings seem a little more empty than usual. No longer am I spitting out my coffee to some goal that Crosby scored from his knees or smiling as I watch the leafs blow, yet again, another 2 goal lead. But just cause hockey isn’t happening on this side of the pond doesn’t mean … Continue reading
