What John Holmes and Joey Cinelli can look forward to someday...

The players are making too much money to sustain the league. But there are other rather frightening fundamentals in this article.

NHL at the Brink

Canadian Olympic star Hayley Wickenheiser became the first woman to score a goal in a men's pro hockey game, sending a backhander past goaltender Antti Kauhanen on Saturday.

Edmonton Oilers Coach Craig MacTavish ripped out the tongue of Calgary Flames mascot Harvey after the 6-foot-6 bear repeatedly taunted him at the bench.

In honor of the Wings-Avalanche game Thursday, ESPN Classic will run eight consecutive hours of games between the rivals beginning at 11 a.m.

We get to see Patty Roy get his ass kicked 4 times in a row!!!

Relive the rivalry

As some of you know I coach a youth ice hockey team in Nashville. The
Pedators have agreed to graciously allow my team to play one game at the
Gaylord Entertainment Center. As you can imagine, the kids are really
exited. Imagine playing football at the Titans stadium or baseball at
Yankee Stadium. Well for them this is it ... Each player get's announced
on the ice, they play the national anthem, they announce the goals, etc. -
they get all the bells and whistles as the Preds game.

Yes there is a catch - the team has to sell 150 tickets to the Predators
game on March 1 at 1:00 pm. (Chicago Blackhawks). The tickets are in the
cheap seats and only cost $17.00 each. The kids are selling them as best
they can, but based on last nights inventory, it appears they would be well
short. They looked very dejected when I broke the news, until I told them I
would help out if I could.

That's where each of you step in. If each of you could buy just one ticket,
that would sell 30 tickets and I think we would close. If you bring your
spouse or a date and buy two tickets, that would sell 60 tickets and we
would be in for sure.

Please let me know ASAP if you would be interested. (I need to turn the
money in this weekend). Your help would be greatly appreciated by these fine
young men as well as myself.

Thanks,

Fishburn says "do you want the red helmet or the blue helmet?"

This will set our sport back 10 years

Damn, I have now only seen 2 of the 3 female pro players play. Oh well.

Manute Bol's hockey career apparently is over.

NHL2Nite's coverage said that he took his skates off after the first period and signed autographs the rest of the game. Still, I would've loved to see him (attempt to) skate.
