Cena recieving Flyers jersey
Have seen a lot of ways to taunt the opponent or to get under there skin, but have never seen this before.
The Flick.
Electronic Arts Canada, the makers of the acclaimed NHL series, have simulated the regular season and playoffs of the NHL 10-11 season and the Vancouver Canucks come out as the Stanley Cup champions.

Some might claim bias because the EA studios are located in Burnaby B.C. but don’t believe it, last year EA did a similar simulation and the Chicago Blackhawks ended up winning the cup in the game and in reality, so lets hope EA improves their record to two for two this year.

A pretty well known CBC sportscaster with another interview with NHL commissioner gary bettman, the only time I see Bettman is during the draft doing his thing, or on cbc arguing with Ron Mclean.
I dont know whoes a bigger dudd, douche, or drag butt but this interview could have been so much better if Cabbie on the street was interviewing this guy, I personally got absolutely no insight on anything that I care about.
On an day off the Chicago Blackhawks organization decided to get away from the rink and take a trip to Alcatraz.
Heres a video of a local news reporter getting reactions from Vancouver Canucks players while getting them to listen to the Hawks goal song Luongos reaction would have been PRICELESS.
Check out Marc Savard playing up the “Brand….new…car.” (2:00 mark).
Heres and interesting interview hosted by George S. on the Sedin brothers, I wish sound was working on my computer. Definetly a must watch for Canucks fan I’d say.

Don’t tell me European players arent passionate and don’t have the balls to play rough.
Maybe its not apparent in the NHL but when your wearing your flag and your bench consists only of your countrymen its hard not to give er and play your heart out.
Country pride is a beautiful thing, look at the coaches and assistants. Even fans get involved sometimes.
History will be made.
For every home game where the Caps score five or more goals, all the fans in attendance get 10 free chicken wings. I guess Ovi and his team weren’t so generous to their fans in the first round of the playoffs.
This just goes into the already large collection of Ovechkin being Ovechkin. This guy just likes having fun and enjoying the moment and its hard not to admire the “swagger” of someone who can rock a cookie monster shirt.
With Samuelsson being as hot as he is, I expect another interview in the near future and I’d hope and expect Scott Oake to come up with better questions.
This is almost as bad as Demitra’s “uhh you know uhh” interviews.
Evander Kane’s popularity just got greater.
Not only where he plays: Atlanta; where he’s from: Vancouver; but also in Boston.
Now lets rewind to March 7, 2010 and take a look at this dirty hit on Marc Savard by Matt Cooke.
Savard has been listed as indefinetly injured and most likely is done for the season.
Forward to April 10, 2010, Cooke dropped the gloves with the Atlanta’s franchise player.
Keith Ballard, former Coyote and current Florida Panther, has been a career minus player in the +/- category.
The 09/10 season hasnt been a good one for this small statured Dman and his Panthers. He has already been featured in numerous (mis)plays of the week & highlight reels and he will most likely being watching himself at the end of the season during Plays of the Year.
With plays like these…
That goal was the eventual game winning goal in the 5-2 loss.
And…
Going eleven rounds in a shootout is pretty rare. Having a 0-0 game going into shootout is even rarer.
That was the case on March 27th when Detroit and Nashville battled to an eleven round shootout won by the Wings via a smooth fivehole backhander by Niklas Kronwall and a heroic performance by Jimmy Howard in net.
Even though the Nashville faithful went home with a loss, they got there monies worth.
The only thing missing was this guys uniform and two mini light sabres in his hands, like the ones that air traffic control personnel have.
What started off as something that looked like a dsylexic version of the YMCA turned into some Japanese anime-like “kamaya mayas” and then turned into some signals you’d see from someone with a high viz vest standing in the middle of an intersection.
The Oscar goes to the assistant coach on the very left, who kept a straight face during that performance.
