Here's Your Hit of the Weekend
Here's Your Hit of the Weekend
banginpanger.com — In what can only be described as the only positive thing to come out of Carolina lately, Tim Gleason levels Victor Hedman. It's a nifty little break out by the Ligthning, but that 3rd pass should probably go to a guy that won't just skate directly into the hit. Maybe, but that's just me.V (more) Here's Your Hit of the Weekend

Wait; so Neids Doesn't Play For Philly?
banginpanger.com — That's kinda a surprise, considering the [insert adjective of your choice here] douchebags sitting along the dashers. It's inevitable that this will be everywhere, and justly so.

Some Guys You Just Root For
Some Guys You Just Root For
banginpanger.com — One of them has to be, absolutely has to be, the career minor leaguer. Listen, we can go on and on about giving up and moving on, some don't, some just can't.

Sometimes You Just Wonder
banginpanger.com — ...what the hell people think sometimes. Like say, Georges Laraque. I highly suggest you click here , but not here . Warned you. Now, there was that little hullabaloo with Mr. Laraque and the buxom babes and bottled beverages, which I saw absolutely nothing wrong with. Actually, I saw a lot of ...

I'm Back; and uh, Here's a Hip Check
banginpanger.com — Since I'm back from my hiatus ventures about Central Pennsylvania mountainsides, which if you followed me on Twitter, you so would've known about, I figured I'd ease back into things with probably my favorite play in hockey; the hipcheck.

Here's My Issue
Here's My Issue
banginpanger.com — Everyone talks about the monster hits lately, but only when there's an injury involved. If Booth gets up and walks away, are we talking about anything other than the kid needs to keep his head up? So I was lookin' for my normal cop out post on a Monday of the weekend's biggest hits, naturally I ... (more) Here's My Issue

The Iowa Chops Strike Again
banginpanger.com — Another day, another Swine Flu outbreak. This time affecting my fantasy team, and of course, that makes it personal. Of course, this means another offensive talent for the B's goes down, so I'm sure they're just absolutely thrilled about it too. David Krecji is the latest to come down with the ...

Welcome Back...Nugget
banginpanger.com — Phil Kessel, erhm, The Burkian Messiah, made his debut last night. Matthias Ohlund, I guess he'd be like, Pontius Pilate, maybe, in this historical allegory, welcomes him back to the world of professional hockey. Except in this story, nobody blames Ohlund for what he did. Oh, and by the way, ... (more) Welcome Back...Nugget
Brostud's Fight in Numbers
Brostud's Fight in Numbers
banginpanger.com — Yes, I just made up the word brostud, it's like a mix of frat boy cowards who talk shit when there's like 30 of 'em and 6 of you. Take for example, the New York Rangers. Now usually, the Rangers would be a little too afraid of getting into too much of a ruckus, Gaborik might get hurt, watching. ... (more) Brostud's Fight in Numbers

...and BOOM! Goes that Dynamite.
banginpanger.com — Marty Reasoner, A) I can't believe you're still in this league, it seems like you've been playing forever, and B) look where you're going, especially when guys like Chris Neil are on the ice. You should know better. Now I think he knows better. That's definitely a "Neil" kinda hit though. ... (more) ...and BOOM! Goes that Dynamite.
