Don't look now, but Chris Kunitz is quietly having an MVP season out in Pittsburgh. If that sentence takes you by surprise, you might be among the large percentage of hockey fans that have failed to take notice of Kunitz's incredible work to date in 2013. It's really no surprise Kunitz's success has been mostly […]

ESPN is heavily criticized for their hockey coverage, or lack of hockey coverage. When the network actually covers the sport, it's usually basic, uninspiring "analysis" on the NHL's big stories and big teams. The network does the bare minimum in order to still call themselves the worldwide leader in sports. Stephen A. Smith was asked […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=PmXOjTMjN_4?rel=0 Buffalo's Patrick Kaleta will likely be hearing from Brendan Shanahan in the very near future after his dangerous check on New York's Brad Richards. As Richards skated towards the boards, Kaleta shoved him from behind with his stick, sending Richards into the boards headfirst. Kaleta received a major penalty for checking from behind as well […]

Andy Strickland, a reporter based in St. Louis, Tweeted that Toronto's Mike Komisarek had given the Maple Leafs his list of 12 teams, signaling that the defenseman was seeking a trade. The report is a fairly believable one as Komisarek has been a regular healthy scratch and has commented in the past that it's frustrating to be […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=N7MZXGFadmg?rel=0 Jaroslav Halak came flying out of his net to stop Ben Eager's breakaway. All right, that's an understatement. Let's try that again. Jaroslav Halak came flying way, way out of his net to stop Eager's breakaway. Noticing that Eager was about to be in all alone, Halak rushed out and slid on the ice, […]

There are dives and then there's whatever Jeff Skinner was trying to accomplish above. With seemingly no contact on his legs, Skinner's feet propelled out from under him, sending him sprawling to the ice. Upon further review, it's unclear what he was actually doing.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=coLcfzkyLjs?rel=0 Henrik Lundqvist must have missed the memo about casual Friday. In the latest This is SportsCenter ad, Lundqvist again makes an appearance, showing up to work in his cubicle with all of his goalie equipment and gear. This new spot isn't even in the same league as Lundqvist's previous appearance which also included the […]

Mike Milbury ripping on Alex Ovechkin isn't exactly a new thing. The NBC commentator seems to love calling out Ovechkin whenever he's given the opportunity. The second intermission between Washington and Philadelphia was no exception, as Milbury went on quite the rant about the struggling star. http://youtube.com/watch?v=aicwKSikBeM?rel=0 Maybe aside from the unnecessary "act like a […]

Usually our broadcast bloopers involve a typo or an error in a graphic during an NHL game. This time we switch things up, highlighting an incredible slip of the tongue during Comcast SportsNet's coverage of the Sharks and Avalanche on Feb. 26. Where exactly did Joe Thornton have the puck? http://youtube.com/watch?v=H8iGpS-3oTs?rel=0 To be fair, the […]

Siri is at it again. If you recall, Siri previously called Daniel Alfredsson "god" and referred to the Carolina Hurricanes when asked about Hurricane Sandy. Now Siri has some pretty fun answers when you ask about the universe. Specifically, when asked "How old is the universe?" or something along those lines, Siri responds with, "According […]
