Gregory Campbell and Derek Dorsett square off in rare Playoff tilt
With a game two victory in hand, the Boston Bruins were content to just let the clock run out but the New York Rangers wanted to send a message. Rangers forward Derek Dorsett was a pest all game, and finally found a dance partner in Gregory Campbell. Campbell is a tough customer but not nearly the same quality fighter that Dorsett is. I give Campbell credit for dropping the...
Providence Bruins and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins brawl during AHL playoffs
On Saturday night the Providence Bruins were unable to close out their Calder Cup AHL playoff series against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins as they lost 4-0 and the Penguins forced a game six. The Bruins refused to just take the loss quietly though and the brawl that ensued certainly set the stage for an interesting game six on Monday.
The Bruins and Penguins combined for 117...
Rangers Coach John Tortorella freaks out on referee Dan O’Halloran
New York Rangers coach John Tortorella lost his temper on referee Dan O’Halloran after the second period ended when a punch to captain Ryan Callahan’s head was not called. You can’t read Tortorella’s lips too well, but you can tell that it is an f-bomb laced tirade and he is clearly not asking O’Halloran to grab a beer with him after the game.

Gareth Bale freaks out after ref doesn’t call penalty in box
Tottenham’s Gareth Bale thought he deserved a penalty after going down in the penalty box during Sunday’s Premier League battle against Sunderland. Instead of awarding a penalty kick, the ref booked Bale was for diving. Yikes, tough break for the Spurs star.
Roy Hibbert stuffs a Carmello Anthony dunk attempt
Indiana Pacers’ Roy Hibbert came away with the huge block on New York Knicks forward Carmello Anthony during the 4th quarter of Saturday night’s Game 6. Melo appeared to have the clear path to an easy slam after spinning on Paul George. However, the 7’2” Hibbert came over from his help position to stuff Melo, and give the Pacers momentum before the game’s final push, which...
Vitor Belfort’s amazing KO on Luke Rockhold
Vitor Belfort was taking on Luke Rockhold in the UFC on FX 8 on Saturday night when Belfort rocked Rockhold with this kick to the head. Nothing like taking a heel to the side of the head to KO you from a fight.
The scariest part of that kick? That is Belfort’s 12th career 1st round KO. Impressive.
Official Call: Vitor Belfort def. Luke Rockhold via KO (spinning back kick...
Jonathan Quick robs Andrew Desjardins with sick kick save
With about five minutes to play in the second period of a 1-1 game, Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick showed off why he is one of the best goalies in the NHL. San Jose Sharks forward Joe Pavelski came out of the corner with the puck and looked like he was going to tuck it short side when he dished off the puck to Andrew Desjardins. Quick was out of position and looked like...
Brad Stuart Crushes Justin Williams With Clean Hit
It appears that playing with Niklas Kronwall rubbed off on Brad Stuart. The San Jose Sharks defenseman laid Los Angeles Kings forward Justin Williams with this Kronwall-esque hit late in the first period. Stuart timed the hit perfectly and Williams could do nothing by the time he looked up and realized what was coming for him.

NHL releases “Playoff Sounds of Round 1″ Video
This is the type of stuff that the NHL does very well. They took sound bites from the different playoff series from Round 1 of the Playoffs and put together a clean compilation of the best stuff. Personally, I’d love to hear the uncut version to hear what the players are saying to each other, but you get a great taste of what goes on during the game with this video.

Painful Memorial Cup National Anthem fail
The start to the 2013 Memorial Cup on Saturday was a rocky one. The US National Anthem prior to the Portland Winterhawks-Halifax Mooseheads game was an unmitigated disaster. If it weren’t for the fans helping her along, I don’t think she would have ever finished it. You know you’re doing a horrible job when you can see players starting to laugh at you and you are making...
Valtteri Filppula scores fantastic goal to seal game against Blackhawks
Detroit Red Wings forward Valtteri Filppula has had an up-and-down season this year, but this phenomenal goal showed off just how good he can be. Henrik Zetterberg dropped the puck off to him at the blue line and rather than Filppula overpass as he has done so often, he pulled the puck to his backhand and drove to the net. As he was going down he fired a backhand shot between...
Johan Franzen fires ridiculous shot past Corey Crawford
In the third period with a 2-1 lead, Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson made an amazing pass, identifying Franzen sneaking behind the Chicago Blackhawks defenseman. He put the pass right on Franzen’s tape and the Mule walked in and fired a gorgeous shot short-side high glove. Crawford was playing aggressive to cut down the angle because he knew Franzen has a phenomenal...
Miguel Angel Jiminez shows off his unique warm up
It’s not every day that a pro golfer will let you in on some of their secrets for getting ready before a round, and Miguel Angel Jiminez’s pre-driving range warm up routine is simply outstanding. Golf Monthly must have given Jiminez a lot of money to show off his routine, while he held a cigar. The best part of this video? There will be plenty of regular golfers that start...

Maple Leafs fans record their experience of excruciating Game 7 loss
This Toronto Maple Leafs fan used his Go Pro camera to try and make some fond memories as he and his friends gathered together to watch the Boston Bruins-Leafs Game 7. Unfortunately, the Maple Leafs epic collapse gave them this depressing video. Their reactions are pretty expected, too sad and shocked that they lost to even be angry about it. This video pretty much defines what...
Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley dwarf The Rock
This photo is extremely impressive since Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a very large human being. It’s not often that a photo adequately captures how large someone is, but this photo most certainly does.

Tomas Jurco breaks in Darth Maul style hockey stick
A photo of Darth Maul skating around during the Tampa Bay Lightning-San Jose Sharks pre-game has been making it’s way around the Internet and inspired the Grand Rapids Griffins to recreate the stick. Unfortunately the photo of Darth Maul is a photoshop, but that didn’t stop the Griffins from creating the stick.
The Griffins created a video of their equipment manager creating...
Ian Kinsler with brutally bad head-first slide
Might want to reconsider sliding face-first in a base, Ian Kinsler, you know, like you learned in little league. Kinsler had this embarrassing moment after attempting to go first to third during Thursday’s match-up with the Detroit Tiger. Even with Kinsler’s moment, The Rangers beat up on Justin Verlander, scoring eight runs and not letting the Tigers’ Ace get out of the third inning.
