George Parros Taken to Hospital After Slip-&-Fall Accident Opening Night

Tough guy George Parros of the Montreal Canadiens tripped & fell last night during a fight with Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer Cotlton Orr:


Parros is a tough guy but he met his match with that shiny sheet of ice (which can be unforgiving from time to time). Those who speculate that this is the reason why fighting should be revised in the NHL are not making a reasonable judgement call. This is hockey, not basketball or soccer. When a bunch of grown men in pads & sticks skate around at 30 mph hitting each other, theres going to be a fight.

It's tradition, and just because George had a "spaz" moment & busted his face on the ice doesn't mean that tradition must be re-made for the sake of safety. Let them play.

Manti Te'o's Girlfriend Spotted at Dallas Stars Opener

What did I tell you guys! I knew the Dallas Stars' twitter account would make a comeback! Manti Te'o may deserve this one for being so gullible. But then again, the prank was pretty elaborate. Here's the tweet realeased by the Stars' organization:

Our cameras at AAC are sharp! They just caught Manti Te'o's girlfriend in section 125 on the jumbotron!

And now here's the image on the jumbotron the twitter account was refering to:




Notre Dame football vs. Dallas Stars hockey. There's a trend happening here with football vs. hockey in Dallas, & I'm beginning to love it!

P.S.: It looks like that guy a couple seats down may have missed his hot dog & gotten a little mustard on his hand. Good grief.

Chicago Blackhawks vs.....Sacramento??

You know, I'm really starting to love both the Yardbarker and Deadspin. They find some of the funniest & most current hockey related stuff I have ever seen. Today's installment includes just a minor error by part of the Chicago Sun-Times writers. Saturday is the big day for the NHL & apparently one team in the NBA. Yes, you heard it right. The Sacremento Kings have joined opening night in the NHL to face the Chicago Blackhawks at 2pm. You can catch the Hawks skating down the hardwood floor at Sleep Train Arena on Ch. 5 & 720 AM!

Don't believe the hype? Check out the advetrtisement:



But what really gets me is some of the comments left on the article from Deadspin:

In order to keep the Kings in Sac town, they now have to play two sports.

Damn! Was hoping DeMarcus Cousins was going for the Gordie Howe hattrick tonight. 

botburner and 2 more yesterday

Why is the Redskins guy pointing in the wrong direction?

 

 

I mean...at least they got the name right. The colors too. They might as well just go for it and cancel the game with the L.A. Kings & try something new!
