I say "it looks amazing," because it's in Finnish and I can't understand anything being said in the trailer. The name of the film is SEL8NNE, which I'm sure translates the same in Finnish as it does in English: "fountain of youth/please never retire." http://youtube.com/watch?v=Th48zZcWfnA?feature=player_embedded It's set for release on September 27th in Finland, of […]

George Parros was traded to the Montreal Canadiens on the first day of free agency this year. Promptly there were some cracks about how the Habs finally added some size, and Parros himself had this to say about the trade: "I play my game," Parros said on a conference call. "I stick up for my […]

You may remember at the trade deadline, Jarome Iginla had a decision to make. He was so close to signing with the Boston Bruins that fans on Twitter were throwing a party. Then he talked with Sidney Crosby and all of a sudden he was a Pittsburgh Penguin. Bruins fans enjoyed watching their team sweep […]

That *thud* sound you just heard were the jaws of most of the New Jersey Devils fan base hitting the floor at once. They've signed free agent left winger Ryane Clowe to a five-year deal at an average cap hit of $4.85 million a year. Last season with the New York Rangers, Clowe had three […]

They say nothing lasts forever, and today was proof of that. Daniel Alfredsson, formerly the longest tenured captain in the NHL, has ended his time with the Ottawa Senators. A member of the Sens since 1995, Alfredsson's contract was up at the end of last season. When he announced he'd come back for one more […]

It's not often that you get this kind of candor from a player, especially one who has just been bought out. Normally they trot out the whole "I enjoyed my ___ years in *insert city here* and would like to thank *insert team name* for their time." Mikhail Grabovski was bought out by the Toronto […]

There was speculation during the draft that Martin Brodeur's son, Anthony Brodeur, would be drafted by his father's team. As the draft went on, and the young goaltender fell in the order, fans and pundits alike became worried that the feel-good story of the draft wouldn't happen.  They were worried for nothing, as the Devils […]

Vandalism isn't always a bad thing. Sure, there were people that we knew who the whole high school hated, so someone forked their front yard, or soaped it, or forked and soaped it. There were the popular kids who still got rolled after a big football game or the last day or school, though, in […]

Much has been said about the Philadelphia press by goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov and their treatment of him. Bryz even got in on the act after the end of the Flyers' season, calling them out on their meanness.  You guys just here to blame someone. You never look yourselves in the mirror, eh? You’re always good. […]

This probably isn't topping Calgary's priority list, but with massive flooding decimating the city, it's nice to have a diversion. The Saddledome flooded up to the 10th row, ruining locker rooms and team storage space. Stored in said storage space is Harvey the Hound, and his fate is what you might expect: Harvey the Hound's head. […]

I'm sure that Ray Charles will be tuned in to Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight, cheering on his beloved Bruins. I'm not sure that he'll be able to see any of it, though. No, not because he's dead. Because he's blind.  Obviously, I am not speaking of the Ray Charles that you […]

Each team, under the new CBA that goes into effect next week, is allowed two amnesty buyouts of big salaries. Why not punish teams for past sins? Cap compliance, of course. The Flyers have two very large contracts that don't look very practical: those of goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov and forward Danny Briere. Briere has been […]

Every player probably feels like their team's goaltender had a shot at the Vezina this year, and many could offer up a solid argument as to why. The San Jose Sharks' goaltender, Antti Niemi, had an outstanding season. He finished with a .924 save percentage and a 2.16 goals against average and helped the Sharks […]
