I love the catfish toss. Important to note that it didn’t start as a ripoff/homage of Detroit’s octopus throwing, but instead was a way to tweak the noses of the old PredWings fans (Michiganders who transferred to the General Motors Assembly plant and who were fans of the Predators for every game except when the Wings…

Incorrect, the Tim McGraw/Black Keys mashup is one of the best goal songs in hockey

Not to mention their captain, Kimmo Timonen, who Poile was forced to trade in the great firesale by owner Craig Leipold, after his sleazy attempt to sell the team to dirtbag Jim Balsillie was shot down.

Having sat behind a wasted, piece of shit Hawks fan whose wanted to throw fists when his headdress was blocking several rows of seats, I have no issues putting roadblocks in front of their support.

I remember pretty well when Hawks games at the then-Sommet Center/GEC drew zero away fans, so I’m not impressed with…

Not gonna lie, I was disappointed by the MSG experience. Some dedicated, knowledgeable folks, but also a lot of boring corporate sports fan types. I went during a playoff dry spell for the Rangers, so maybe their crowd is better when the team is better.

I’ve been to a good percentage of NHL arenas, but one thing that surprises me about Nashville is that they get a good number of working class, salt-of-the-earth native Nashvillians who cuss and heckle and have a damn good time at the games.

One woman seated behind me a couple of years ago got a little anxious about…

Seth - the son of ex-Murray State Racers guard Popeye Jones - may have roots in Tennessee, but he picked up the sport in Denver when his dad played for the Nuggets, and got early tips from Joe Sakic. (It was bonkers that the Avs drafted MacKinnon over Jones, who fit their needs perfectly and was NHL-ready when he was…

We have a reason to be thinking through girls’ names right now. My wife’s rule of thumb is that a name shouldn’t sound ridiculous when you put “Aunt” in front of it. Unacceptable: “Aunt Addison,” “Aunt Brooklyn,” “Aunt Harley,” etc.

Anaheim hosted games 1 & 2 in front of an audience of empty seats. Games 3 & 4 (and the “if necessary” Game 6) have been sold out since the Preds clinched vs St. Louis. Things will be very loud and very full in Nashville.

There’s a lot of overlap between Bills and Sabres fandom, but for whatever reason, Sabres fans think they’re too classy for the Bills Mafia Orchard Park tailgate insanity. So plastic tables in the five boroughs are safe.

Checks out.

My wife did ask me when the Ducks stopped using the Flying V.

Y’all act like a Y-front is some sort of unfathomable mystery of topology requiring a winkie to be delicately manipulated through some sort of irreal multidimensional space. Here’s some news: it’s not. In fact it’s just a couple overlapping pieces of cloth and if you move one side this way and the other that way, your…

Eat my goo goo clusters, kinja

Every so often, an especially unfunny Deadspin commenter misfires with a lazy crack about a target that they clearly know very little about. No worries about getting it wrong- even Cy Young had 300 career losses. The entertainment comes from commenters who refuse to back away from their lame take, thinking they’re…

Let me introduce you to my twin sons, Campbell and Prince of Wales.

Calder’s parents either appreciate hanging sculptures or thought they were raising a career AHLer

Laugh away, but only Buffalonians know the ecstasy of seeing their NFL team lift the Stanley Cup.

Remember, the Blackhawks can never be beaten, they can only be betrayed.

Income inequality among MLS players isn’t as extreme as among US citizens, so clearly we should take this country even less seriously than MLS.
