Invisible Piano Makes Hockey Commentary Bearable [VIDEO]
I know very little about hockey and even less about the commentators on whatever Canadian station this is. Having said that, I firmly believe that every single color commentator needs a piano desk like the one that someone has superimposed on this otherwise boring clip. I mean, if you’re not playing the piano what else are you doing wearing a red velvet blazer?

Top 11 Colleges for Producing Sports Team Owners
Usually sports teams owners aren’t mentioned when listing off notable alumni. Why? They’re regarded as the scum of the Earth – vile human beings who are greedy penny pinchers. Well, newsflash, I’d f***ing love to be a sports team owner. Been a dream of mine since day 1. So, this list of top owner-producing colleges created by the Wall Street Journal would’ve been super helpful. Check it out after the jump.

Paulina Gretzky Twitter Pics Shot Down By Wayne Gretzky [77 PHOTOS]
We’re constantly amazed by how little the general public knows about the internet. I once had a boss who asked if there was someone he could email to get all his pics removed from the web. I directed him to webmaster@informationsuperhighway.com. It appears Wayne Gretzky’s daughter, Paulina, DOES know how to post super hot pics of herself on Twitter, but she doesn’t fully understand that when you delete the account because your Dad told you to, that those pics still might be circulating around online. Luckily for you guys who are late to the Twitpics game (and somehow missed our first post about her twitpics back in October) we pulled her sexiest uploads and placed them in the gallery after the jump.

The Top 5 Holiday Traditions in Sports
The two things we can count on to bring people together are holidays and sports. Everyone likes a day off from work and when you couple that with a sporting event, you’re staring down at a pair of aces. For some families, watching sports can be a bonding experience while others use it as a diversion or escape from family issues. And, if you don’t have a fam, these sports will keep you company. Tri-State Sports Guys’ Mike D has 5 great marriages of holidays and sports – check ‘em out after the jump.

Paulina Gretzky’s 77 Sexiest Twitpics [PHOTOS]
There’s been a lot of buzz lately over Wayne Gretzky’s 22 year old daughter, Paulina, and for good reason: she’s a face-melter. Would you expect anything less from “The Great One”? The singer-actress-model has flown relatively under the radar until recently – one of her songs (“Collecting Dust”) was featured on MTV’s Laguna Beach and she had a minor role in 2007′s Alpha Dog. Why everyone’s just taking notice now is beyond my realm of comprehension but we’re hoping she pumps out more titillating twitpics like the ones in our gallery after the jump.

The 8 Lamest NHL Mascots [POLL]
The NHL season kicked off last night – October 6th – and with it comes the beginning of a new era for the NEW Winnipeg Jets, who relocated from Atlanta where they were the Thrashers. Winnipeg’s one of 5 teams that doesn’t have a mascot (Stars, Oilers, Rangers, Flyers). We understand the appeal of a mascot, you need to something to balance out the titillation from the Ice Girls and it has to be kid-friendly. Got it. But, that doesn’t mean they have to be super lame. Here’s our list of the 8 lamest mascots currently sucking it up in the NHL. Vote for the lamest in our poll after the jump.

Boston Kids Remixing Kesha = Fish in a Barrel
Writing this post has been a serious exercise in self-control. Don’t understand why? Watch the video and then continue reading. I could talk about how one of the dudes in this video is never getting laid ever after people see this. I could talk about how these kids’ parents should go to jail for negligence (allowing these kids to ruin their lives) I could make a reference to the Hartford Whalers, but I won’t. I have chosen the higher path, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all.” On that note, watch the video after the jump!

The 6 Best & Worst NHL Video Games
For years and years, video game developers have been churning out awesome hockey games. EA Sports has been the most consistent, dropping their always incredible NHL series every year, and never seeming to disappoint. Other developers have made successful games, too, but some have tried and failed miserably. Since not everyone is a hockey enthusiast, I have catered this list to include not just the best games, but the best games that appeal to even the average gamer. We’ve also pinpointed the worst games… so developers can learn from their mistakes. Check out our list after the jump.

11 NHL Cities That Have Never Kissed The Stanley Cup [POLL]
The Western Conference Finals is history in the making, folks. Neither the San Jose Sharks nor Vancouver Canucks have EVER won the Stanley Cup. While the Canucks have never raised Lord Stanley’s hardware, the city of Vancouver has one Stanley Cup to its credit – the Vancouver Millionaires won it in 1915. While the NEW Ottawa Senators have never won the Stanley Cup, the city celebrated 11 Stanley Cups with the original Ottawa Senators in the 1920s. The Bay Area, on the other hand? Not so much. So, we decided to take a look at other cities that currently have a NHL franchise who’ve never touched the Cup. If you’re a fan of one of these teams, we salute your loyalty. Don’t forget to vote for the city you think will win its first Stanley Cup first at the bottom of the post.

5 NHL Teams That Need New Uniforms [POLL]
When it comes to the overall design of their jerseys, hockey beats all other major sports leagues: they have the ability to make sweet jerseys featuring cool logos, and mascots on the front instead of the standard and mundane team or city name or just a boring old number. While some of these teams take full advantage of that and have awesome uniforms – such as the Chicago Blackhawks or the Buffalo Sabres – some have made jerseys so unsightly, even a homeless guy would be embarrassed to wear it. So take a look at this list of 5 NHL teams in need of new uniforms after the jump!

Pro Athlete Salaries in 1987 [Infographic]
Pro athletes make crazy amounts of money. Even the lowest of the low on an NFL roster (practice squad) make what the rest of us would consider an excellent salary (minimum of $4700/week, which adds up to $79,900 over the regular season). It wasn’t always this way though. Back in the 1980′s salaries were much more modest. Here is an inforgraphic from a 1987 issue of Fortune Magazine that shows just how much average salaries in the four major sports have increased over the years. When your done reading this check out How Much Money Do You Make Compared to the Athletes? and The 10 Best Sports Jobs for Non-Athletes.

Defunct Sports Leagues That Should Be Reinstated
The Arena Football League (AFL) was founded in 1987 by a former executive of the United States Football League and the National Football League named Jim Foster.

After some retooling, fans everywhere can experience the triumphant return of the league that gave us Kurt Warner tonight on the NFL Network. To honor its comeback, we take a look at other leagues that deserve another crack at entertaining the masses. See our picks after the jump!

6 Athletes Who Deserve Their Own Biopic
There have been reports Mark Wahlberg has stated he wants to turn “The Fighter” into a trilogy. Is this the next Rocky franchise? Most likely not, since this one’s based on actual events, but one wonders if Mickey Ward’s story warrants three feature length films? Prior to The Fighter’s release, his name rang few bells, but judging by its critical and box office success, one has to take a look around at other sports figures to see who’s ripe for the Hollywood treatment. In April 2009, Bleacher Report published their list of athletes who deserve celluloid dedications, now we have our list. See our selections after the jump!

Through the history of the NHL, there have been many so-called “goons” that specialize in protecting their team’s star players and possibly have little more value than their fighting ability.
