Minor league squads, in any sport, always have the best promotions. And the Calgary Flames’ minor league hockey franchise, the Las Vegas Wranglers, is doing nothing to hurt that reputation. In 2006, the team hosted a theme night based...

Sure it’s probably cruel and unusual the way they got the bears to stand upright for that long and, you know, pass the puck. But hey, there’s no use of crying over spilled milk, so enjoy the sight of...

The economy is hitting the whole world hard, especially the sporting world. The Lakers can’t even draw in the bored gambling crowds in Vegas for a pre-season game, the NBA’s—and most leagues—version of free money. So how do you...

With that whole MMA thing not working out exactly as he’d hope, this video shows us there’s hope for Kimbo Slice after all. We went to the Jets-Bengals game last week and can vouch for the fact that at...

Well, let’s not give Philly a break… they actually cheered Irvin’s possibly paralyzed body. But apparently America’s Hockey Mom thought she’d could just drop by to drop the puck at this weekend’s Flyers’ opening game without any sort of...

Whas Happened In Sports Last Night MLB NLCS Game One: At the end of the fifth inning we were gushing to our girlfriend how great Rafael Furcal glove work was. Errrrrrrrrrrr. Furcal’s error in the sixth let the Phiilies...

Wow. First of all, lower your computer volume if you’re at work watching this NSFW tirade. While this seems like a couple of benign young men at a gaming tournament, it gets pretty intense after the kid on the...

Who knew slamming into public windowpanes on bus stops and whatnot would result in pleasant humor? The hockey dude scaring the shit out of people—and making the two last dudes fist bump—is Remi Gaillard, a French prankster who once...

What’s the craziest thing you would go for your team? Zach Smith of Cleveland was willing to get arrested, and worse, carry an octopus under his Red Wings shirt so he could bring the Motor City tradition of throwing...

The Spokane Chiefs, Canadian Hockey League champions this year, managed to turn infinite jubilation from their fans into sincere disdain when their trophy fell apart during post-game celebrations. Something tells us NHL fans wouldn’t have been so, um, pacifistic....

Immediate reports from the New York Daily News implied that New York Rangers hockey stud Sean Avery was on his deathbed, “not-breathing”, suffered cardiac arrest and was grappling to shun away death at St. Vincent’s hospital in New York...

It’s great for children to find role models in their sports icons, but this is nuts. And since when do they allow fans to enter sporting arenas wearing pads? [YouTube] Lorena Ochoa is a fearless goddess who reeks of...

It’s just the NHL’s luck that during the lull of the sports season, when it’s their chance to shine, their two most memorable incidents so far are a vicious neck slashing and now players stealing purses. Ryan O’Byrne and...

We don’t watch hockey. It’s simply a sport we were negated growing up. But we’re fascinated by the fights. The rest is as foreign to us as mayonnaise on french fries. Yet, having minimal exposure to the game, we...

Madison Square Garden would sure like to get through the rest of 2007 with a little pocket change. Isiah Thomas’ stupidity already cost them $11.5 million this year, and rather than suffer the horrific consequences of another legal battle,...

We’re wowed at the fact that the Pittsburgh Penguins’ (and NHL savior) Sidney Crosby got into his first NHL fight-halfway through his third season. We thought it would’ve happened during his first game-you know, the NHL’s version of rookie...

We loved the description of this clip: “He is one of the nicest, most gentle giants I have ever met. The chances of this happening were the same as if Ghandi punched out a homeless person.” We’re not sure...

Tuomo Ruutu of the Chicago Blackhawks was arrested yesterday outside of the city while he was out on a run. Unlike other athletes, though, he was quickly released. Police gave him the whole “fit the description” business that, for...

At least they know they’re supposed to hate each other. The only miracle on ice here is that no nukes were fired during the melee. USA’s under-17 team got their smackdown on with Russia’s under-17 team during a tournament...

By immediately hiring Joe Torre, the Dodgers violated the rule where minority candidates have to be interviewed for managerial openings. They were saved because the owner’s wife is a VP to the team. Um, what? [Signal To Noise] You...

This is Georges Laraque of the Pittsburgh Penguins vs Donald Brashear of the Washington Capitals. The only reason we ever watch hockey stems from the fact that we’re blood lusting bastards. The probability of seeing a fight is our...

Edmonton Oiler Raffi Torres was fined $2,500 for this “hit” on the Calgary Flames’ Darren Moss. He’s the guy in the white jersey bumping shoulders with the dude in the red jersey. It’s the biggest fine the NHL could...
