WHOOPS
Anchor makes mistake on Kings highlight
Liz Habib and Fox 11 in Los Angeles are back providing playoff highlights for Los Angeles Kings fans, and once again they are back doing a terrible job. According to Habib, Willie Mitchell scored with 10 minutes left in the third period of game four against the San Jose Sharks. Unfortunately for Habib, it was actually Mike Richards that scored.

Third grader says '9 x 9 = Hossa'
Maggie Ciara, a third-grader at Columbus Manor Elementary School, would seem to be one of the biggest Blackhawks fans around. Maggie took a multiplication test recently during school and when the teacher received her answers questions were asked. Maggie answered the question of ’9 X 9 = Hossa’ and it baffled the teacher. Maggie was paying homage to her favorite Blackhawks...
Has The Isles Future Finally Arrived?
Is it true? Is the team that has never won a playoff series in my lifetime on the rise? Are the ghosts of the Nassau Coliseum stirring as the team prepares for its thirty mile move to Brooklyn? Are the Stanley Cups that my parents saw lifted with regularity as teenagers on their way? Will the banners that sway in the rafters soon have company? Will the Bossys and the Trottiers, the...

Videos:Chris Kreider scores in OT, Nathan Horton power play
When the Boston Bruins Nathan Horton rifled his power play goal past the Rangers Henrik Lundqvist, it was over, Chris Kreider saw to that.
The Bruins were on their way to a sweep in their NHL Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Rangers after taking what appeared to be a protectable 2-0 lead.
Then came the third period and the Rangers found their heart.

Linesman drops f-bomb on Rangers’ John Tortorella
TV microphones picked up a heated little convo between a linesman and New York Rangers coach John Tortorella while broadcasters were talking during game 4 of their playoff series with the Bruins. “That’s enough… F–k You!… you had your say…” can be heard, among other things.
Announcer Dave Strader quickly apologized to viewers for the language almost immediately.
BUTT OUT
Torts fires back at media over Richards
Rangers coach John Tortorella was at his potty-mouthed best when discussing his feelings about Brad Richards after making the veteran a healthy scratch for Game 4.
Zetterberg getting best of Toews
DETROIT -- He's won a Stanley Cup, the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs MVP and even an Olympic Gold medal.
But Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews has just one assist in four games of the Western Conference semifinals. And after Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Detroit Red Wings in Game 4 , his team is one game away from elimination and his frustration is boiling over...

Former Bruins F Marc Savard calls out Rangers Coach John Tortorella
Former Boston Bruins forward Marc Savard was not a fan of New York Rangers head coach John Tortorella’s decision to scratch Brad Richards on Thursday night. Savard went so far as to say that Tortorella should be fired and that he ruins players confidence.
Tortorella had his own opinion for the critics of his decision after the Rangers game four win.
“A guy i love as a person...
Tuukka Rask trips himself up, giving Carl Hagelin easy goal (Video)
Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask gave up an easy goal in the second period of Thursday night's Game 4 against the New York Rangers when he tripped himself up and couldn't recover in time to stop Carl Hagelin's backhand shot on the net.
Bruins defender Johnny Boychuk deflected Hagelin's shot and really slowed it down, while Rask was positioning himself for a quick...
LIKE A CANNON
Chara’s slapshot breaks Lundqvist’s mask
Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara is known for having the hardest slapshot in the entire NHL, but that didn’t stop New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist from stopping the shot with his head. Lundqvist knows the Rangers are in a must-win game four and has shown that he is willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means finishing the game with a different mask than the...
DERP ON ICE
Tuukka Rask slips, falls, allows terrible goal
We've all heard that expression "boy, he'd like to have that one back." I'm pretty sure that applies to Tuukka Rask here. In Thursday night's game, with the Bruins up 2-0, Rask moves to his left, slips somehow, and allows a Carl Haglin barely-there shot to roll on by: There's so much to love/hate about this goal, depending on what team...

First and foremost I’d like to say thank you to The Majors Detroit Facebook page follow Boris Pan for passing this one along to us. Second I would also like to say that this story has become a pretty big one as it made it’s rounds on local media as the Wings now have a 2-1 series lead heading into Game 4 tonight.
Now the story in question here is a piece (of something) written...
Dalton Thrower Suspended For Rest Of Memorial Cup For Really, Really Dirty Hit
Dalton Thrower of the Saskatoon Blades has been suspended for the rest of the Memorial Cup for an illegal hit on Taylor Leier of the Portland Winterhawks.
Somehow both officials ate their whistle on the play and Thrower didn’t spend any time in the penalty box. Needless to say, Winterhawk coach Travis Green was none too pleased.
Despite having two referees – Reagan Vetter of...
