When not making cheap cracks about Peter Pocklington
on Twitter , or watching George Laraque's Octane alcoholic-energy
drink commercial , I sometimes actually write about hockey. Usually no one reads those. Understandably, they're longer than 140 characters and they don't have videos of ...

Since you are reading this on a computer,
I can safely assume you are sitting down. And
that's a good thing, because you'll need to be for what I'm about to tell you. So that means if your one of those weird people with standing or treadmill desks, stop being so damn smug and just take a ...

Yesterday morning Chris Bourque thought he was going
to be a member of an NHL roster for
opening day tomorrow. And today, well, he is going to be on an NHL roster, just not the one he had thought. Bourque, son of hall-of-famer Ray Bourque, was drafted 33rd overall in the 2004 draft by the ...

The Penguins new "Defy Ordinary" ad campaign, apparently

Just like any other sports know-it-all, I play
fantasy sports. Fantasy sports of every fashion and sort.
Football has just become a given for every male in the 18 to 35 demographic. And despite the Pirates best efforts to ruin professional baseball for me, I've stumbled through a few fantasy ...

In the hockey world, there is no month
more unholy than that of August. September brings us
camp and exhibition games. The season runs from October to April. The playoffs carry us through May. The Cup is handed out in June. And the first of July is free agency frenzy. But August? August brings ...

As the September 10th bankruptcy auction of the
Phoenix Coyotes quickly approaches, it appears that another party
is preparing a bid for the floundering NHL franchise. A franchise that has lost somewhere in the range of a $100 million in it's last 3 season and has failed to make the postseason ...

After Saturday nights disappointing 3-1 loss to the
Detroit Red Wings in the first game of the
Stanley Cup Finals, the Penguins faithful may be quick to recall the many instances in which the team has rebounded from dire straits. It was only a few months ago that the ...

The NHL Stanley Cup Finals is a match-up
between the two titans in hockey right now, with
the series almost being to close to call. However, while Every Facet of the Game could be considered a biased source [wearing Crosby jersey], I'm calling for Penguins to take Lord Stanley's Cup in front of the home crowd in Game 6.

Facing the paradox of Gary Bettman being either
an bumbling idiot that couldn't successfully set up a
game of Mouse Trap, or the evil mastermind hell bent on having the Pittsburgh Penguins' names etched onto Lord Stanley, Every Facet of the Game comes to the logical conclusion, the fix is in.

If the second round the NHL playoffs have
proven anything, it is this: the Philadelphia Flyers will
not yield to the robot invasion. And for that matter, neither will the Dallas Stars. Perhaps you remember that following the first round of the playoffs we all looked on in awe as the NHL 08 simulation went a perfect 8 for 8. In the second round? Penguins over New York Rangers. Called it. ...

Following the Flyers elimination of the Capitals in
Game 7 OT in Washington, a classy fan tossed
a beer bottle at Jeff Carter. All in all, with the disgruntled fan probably sauced, you have to admit it's a pretty good shot. If the Wizards could shoot like that they wouldn't be on the verge of being swept in the opening round.

February brings a lot of things for a
lot of different people. Some are openly prepared to
severely overrate the weather forecasting abilities of a groundhog. Others will spend entirely too much on candies and cards to celebrate a Hallmark holiday. But for the select few that call themselves general managers in the National Hockey League, February means trade deadline rumors.

I can't even believe that I'm going to
write this next sentence, but according to New Jersey
Devil's Travis Zajac, Derian Hatcher of the Philadelphia Flyers bite Zajac's finger during a scrum in front of the net last night.

Pittsburgh Penguin's irritant Jarko Ruutu and the Toronto
Maple Leafs Darcy Tucker went a couple rounds in
this evenings game. Now a certain poorly dressed ignorant Canadian broadcaster can shut his trap. The good news for him is that he can now allot further time to complaining about the instigator penalty, Andrew Ference's environmentally conscious lifestyle, players who wear visors, or just ...

The holidays can be tough on some people.
It can be a very stressful time with all
the running around, chaotic shopping crowds, and inclement weather. Thankfully for the struggling Chicago Bulls head coach Scott Skiles, he'll have plenty of off time to recoup. Off to a dismal 9-16 start the Bulls have fired Skiles, with no replacement in the wings.

In their final game before the Christmas break
the Penguins put together a victory, beating the Boston
Bruins at home 4-2. It was a milestone night, as the Penguins sold out their record 31st straight game at the Mellon Arena, Sergei Gonchar picked up his 400th career assist, and Georges Laraque's 50th career goal turned out to be the game winner.

In another notable suspension handed down from the
NHL league office, New York Islanders Chris Simon has
found himself with a some mandated time off around the holidays, and a good deal after that. Simon, who already has a storied history with the leagues disciplinary committee, received a 30 game suspension for a stomping incident that occurred Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Cheating is all the rage in sports recently.
Sure, gaining an edge on an opponent has probably
always existed, from pitchers doctoring baseballs to bosses stacking inner-office basketball games in their favor. But this year, cheating has been taken to a new level, and as many as 20 Florida State football players are reminding everyone that it need not be in the actual realm of sports.
