If only the rink was wider
If he was on a better line, that hit would have never happened.

Word is KGB was sent after Malkin at his hotel.
Malkin saw them coming.
When a KGB officer's back was turned Malkin moved in, swung his stick at the back of the officers knees, and elbowed the guy in the back of the head.

Pengoon style escape!

So Kessel's missing testicle allows him to play for both the men's and women's team?

This just in:

Alexander Ovechkin was quickly captured by the KGB after the Russian loss.
Eyewitness accounts say that when approached by the KGB muscle, Ovechkin showed no signs of defense whatsoever.

Sources close to Ovechkin state that the NHL player has no experience in defense, which is why he did not fight back and went willingly.

Poor Isles...losing their star player just like that. This team could use some luck but, not sure if the stupidity in how they ran (and arguably still run) the organization will get them outta this bad juju.

Well, given what he gave up for an UFA who doesn't appear too eager to re-sign in Vanek...OOPS.

Good luck getting back what he coughed up to Buffalo if he now tries to unload the Austrian.

So, Finlandia's supremacy is only in men, right? Their girls are not superior? Or is it because Rask can't play goalie for women?

I think most would agree they're the 5th or 6th best looking internationally.

Okay...I now officially care who wins. Given that I live in Canada now, Team Canada better bring it against the USA.

So does this game go to shootouts after 5 minutes or do they play until someone scores?

Mr International Hockey, what's the deal?
