It’s a sad day for hockey fans. One of the greatest fighters ever to grace the ice has died. No need to get into details, but here is a video of him doing what he did best.
God save you if you were on the receiving end of Mr. Probert’s fist.
Jules Winnfield wins coach of the year in my book. Hands mother fuckin’ down.

I don’t know if many of you have been watching the Stanley Cup Finals between the Blackhawks and the Flyers. It has been quite a good series with a lot of bad blood developing. Well apparently the Chicago Tribune decided it would show it’s dislike for Flyers defensemen, Chris Pronger. And do so in quite a funny fashion.
Only if the local NY paper would do the same to Sean Avery. O wait, I just did.
So apparently this morning in Philly, Brendan Witt, a defensemen for the New York Islanders was hit by a GMC Yukon making an illegal left turn while he was crossing the street to get some coffee before his morning skate.
He saw the car coming and braced for impact. No one caught it on video, but here is an idea of what it looked like:
In reality though, he jumped up landing on the hood and then falling to the ground only to get up and starts hurling some most excellent curse words at the driver. He then said, “I’m okay…I’ve got to go play some hockey. I’m a hockey player. I’m okay. No big deal.” And he did, he left the scene, got his coffee and then went to his morning skate only to play a game several hours later.
Badass.
John “Fucking” Tavares. Let’s just say I let out the biggest relief fart of my life when I heard Garth announce his name.
Well I’m sure a majority of you will not read this, but I am going to write about it anyways. Tonight at 7pm is the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Many of you regular readers know that A) I am a hockey fan and B) I am an Islanders fan. The Islanders have 3 choices tonight. John Tavares, Victor Hedman and Matt Duchene.
I, like many many other Islander fans want Tavares. Unfortunately for us, Mr. Snow refuses to let us know who he is going to pick. Tavares overall is rated #1, Hedman #2 and Duchene #3. Everyone thinks it is going to be one of those 3….well most likely Tavares or Duchene.
Let me leave you all with this quote from Islanders Point Blank:
Duchene who had 50 points as a 17-year old, over Tavares – who had 72 goals as a 16-year old.
For all you non-hockey fans, points equals to goals and assists. Nuff said.
Well, I am headed to the Islanders Draft Party at the Coliseum to watch them with 22,000 others hopefully chose #91, John Tavares. If not, don’t be surprised if you read in the news tomorrow that the Nassau Coliseum was burnt to the ground.
You can watch the draft tonight at 7pm on Versus.
The New York Islanders have #1 draft pick in June. This man ^^ could be our saving grace.
That is all.
The first is the Save of the Year. As an Islanders fan, yea, this was a lost season. But it is nice when one of your goaltenders receives the save of the year by the league. Take a gander ladies and gentlemen.
