slap fight!
HomerMcFanboy —
Washington Capitals wing Alexander Semin is not happy. Don’t believe me? Watch him show Marc Staal of the New York Rangers just how unhappy he is. Trust me, it’s highly enjoyable. The guy has one of the best shots in the entire NHL, but he doesn’t bring much to the table when it’s time to throw down. Donald Brashear, please get well soon. Your presence in the lineup is sorely missed. In related news, the Caps won over the Rangers 2-1 ...

Pesonen and The Pens —
Maybe there was something in the air today. The Lip decided against taking a faceoff and bitch slapped the Panther center Mclean. To me it was a chicken shit move by Cindy the Lip, Mclean had no ideal what Lippy Lepew was going to do. ...
Fight Video: Alexander Semin plays the bongos on Rangers' Staal
Puck Daddy —
Between Sidney Crosby's off-the-faceoff pummeling and this Alexander Semin fight with Marc Staal in the Capitals' 2-1 win over the New York Rangers, this is shaping up to be the most awkwardly surreal day of hockey pugilism in recent memory: The local coverage of the fight in D.C. is here, and announcer Joe Benenati is correct: It literally looks like the Washington Capitals winger is attempting to play the bongos on Staal's chest at the end of the fight. Have you ever seen anything like this from an NHL player? Semin looked like one of the gorillas from ...

Dropping the Gloves: Triple Edition
Fear The Fin —
Hello.
Welcome to Dropping the Gloves, the seventh one in its existence. Today we will explore the battling of three Sharks. Two of them do not fight very often (guess who they are), so their fights were quite interesting.
Round 1, we have Jody Shelley vs. Derek Boogaard
A very, very intriguing fight between two heavyweights. Boogaard can be quite scary as seen here. This was the 5th fight between them. They start the fight getting ready, and waiting for one or the other to make a move. Shelley grabs on to Boogaard first and they both have a hold on each ...

Alexander Semin Of Capitals Fights Marc Staal Of Rangers [NHL Fight Video]
FanIQ Blog —
Alexander Semin, who may have the most unintentionally hilarious name in the NHL, got into a bit of a scrape last night against the Rangers' Nick Staal. Now, normally there'd be nothing noteworthy about this. However, since this was Semin's first ever NHL fight, and he dropped his purse sometime during it, I think that's worthy of our attention. Let's go to the video. ...

That's Alexander Semin, uh... pawing at Marc Staal. I'm glad he knew enough to get the jersey off, but he does know you're allowed to use fists, right?

1. One thing that always amazes me is how Caps fans and Pens fans canNOT shut UP about the other team’s superstars. What is it about cheering for Crosby that means you have to argue that Ovechkin sucks? Ordinarily, my stance is along the lines of “Ladies, please. Both of your teams have dazzling ...

Blogs: NY Rangers Blog | Beyond the Blueshirts
Since the last time these two teams met on December 3, the Rangers have received a reality check by dropping to second in the Atlantic Division. Following that 3-2 shootout win at Madison Square Garden, the Blueshirts have posted a rather unflattering 5-6-1 record (not that the Pens can talk with a 5-10 record of their own).
Regardless, the Rangers are home tonight at Madison Square Garden after dropping a ...

HF4 is going to be along with a Panthers game review shortly. In the meantime, please entertain yourselves with repeated viewings of Alex Semin's mad skillz at fighting that you've no doubt seen 100 times already. But really, you could watch this 200 times and still be entertained.
Mistake Free Hockey Is The Key
Blueshirt Banter —
Hey fellow Ranger fans. I wrote this for the Bleacher Report just now (I was asked to). I summarized the title above and explained why five weaknesses between the Caps and the Rangers could make just as much as diffence in the series as the two teams strength's. The article can be found here.
Hockey is a game of mistakes, and although every hockey fan loves the great offensive goal, a lot of things have to go right before the puck is in the back of the net. Keeping with the cliche route, the best offense is a good defense; which is exactly what the high-flying Washington Capitals have going for them (and the ...
Pregame: Rangers at Capitals (Game 1)
RANGERLAND.NET —
The Rangers are in Washington tonight for the first game of their playoff series against the Capitals. The puck drops at 7 p.m., and the game can be seen locally on MSG.
If you can’t get up for the playoffs, then I don’t know what to tell you. It’s playoff time, and I’m psyched! I also think this is going to be an interesting series no matter who wins. You have a top offense going against a top defense. A top power play against a top penalty kill.
Not to mention nearly every Rangers-Caps game this season has been close. The Caps won three out of four meetings, but the Rangers hung around in nearly all of those ...
