Senators Coach Paul MacLean Holds 20-Second Press Conference After Blowout Loss to Penguins (Video)
To say that Ottawa Senators head coach Paul MacLean kept things brief after his team was manhandled in a 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday would an understatement
MacLean did not take questions from the assembled media after the game, instead issuing one quick statement before walking away from the podium in a news conference that lasted all of 20 seconds.

Daniel Alfredsson loses skate blade, hops on one leg to bench
Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson was forechecking in the Pittsburgh Penguins zone when he collided with defenseman Mark Eaton and his foot slammed into the boards. The force caused the steel of his skate to pop out and resulted in some comical video of Alfredsson falling on the ice and then hopping to the bench. Alfredsson had no clue the steel had popped out of his...

Red Wings-Blackhawks practice day updates: Wings stay the Babcockian course; good news for DeKeyser?
After what might be their fnal real "off-day" for some time, the Red Wings got back to work today at Joe Louis Arena (the Blackhawks remained in Chicago for their practice), and something tells me that this is going to be the first of two practice posts, because Wings coach Mike Babcock engaged in a long q and a session with a faithfully-twitter-updating media corps:

WEIRD STUFF
Bruins, Rangers team up for double high sticks
Boston Bruins forward Tyler Seguin was bringing the puck into the zone when he went to put a shot on net. As he shot, New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider put his stick out to poke check, and Seguin’s follow through ended up riding all the way up Kreider’s stick and Kreider was hit in the face. At the same time Rangers defenseman Steve Eminger was trying to impede Seguin...
Henrik Lundqvist’s Game 3 Performance Makes Rangers’ Loss Even More Demoralizing
The Rangers had the most convenient excuse in the world following the club’s 5-2 loss to the Bruins in Game 2. Not only did they play a poor defensive game with a ton of mistakes, Henrik Lundqvist had one of the worst games of his career.
Surely Lundqvist would bounce back in Game 3 with a much better effort, perhaps a sterling showing that would steal New York a win and get them...

Bruins-Rangers: Tuukka Rask Gives DEATH STARE & Drops F Bomb During Interview (VIDEO)
Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask is having a Tim Thomas-esque post-season thus far (check the numbers it’s true), so give the man a little respect. Don’t touch the technology. Toucher and Rich said that someone holding a 98.5 the Sports Hub was fiddling with Rask’s Ipod dock by increasing the music volume.
He then RE-TORTED…..”Are You F*cking serious?!?”.

Penguins: An Emotional Loss Sparks Questions
The Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators were in a scoreless tie of their game three match-up for almost two full periods of play. With 1:07 left to play in the second period, Penguins forward Tyler Kennedy buried the puck in to the back of the net past Senators goaltender Craig Anderson. This came after a [...]
Ericsson helps fill big holes on Wings' defense
DETROIT -- It seems like just yesterday when Jonathan Ericsson was the young defenseman arriving on the scene and making an impact for the Detroit Red Wings.
In the Wings' 2009 playoff run, Ericsson stunned everyone with his four goals and four assists in the 22 games, and by playing three days after an emergency appendectomy. He had played just 19 regular-season games.

Ice version of air hockey table created
Unfortunately the Reddit user that posted this photo didn’t provide many details about the table, but that doesn’t make this Ice version of an Air Hockey Table any less impressive. The detail on the rink is amazing and the only flaws are the lack of a red line and the crease is an International style crease. Playing on this table would be an awesome experience, but some questions...
Sports Illustrated Writer Rips ‘Garbage Move’ by Joel Quenneville in Game 3
It’s hardly breaking news that the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks dislike each other, so it came as little surprise to see the end of Detroit’s Game 3 win devolve late into after-the-whistle scrums and extra shots.
But Sports Illustrated’s Allan Muir took exception to the strategy of Chicago coach Joel Quenneville in the waning moments.
