This gem of a goal comes from Linus Klasen of the Swedish Elite League. So smooth and effortless.

Just when you think Ilya Kovalchuk being dealt to the Devils was going to be news of the night, Alex Ovechkin comes through with another highlight reel goal. Is this how easy all of Backstrom’s assists are?
The Ottawa Senators have won 9 games in a row and streaked to 5th place in the Eastern Conference standings. Part of the reason for their recent success? Goaltender Brian Elliot, who recently made quite possibly the save of the season when he stopped a point-blank shot from Marian Hossa of the Chicago Blackhawks to preserve a 3-1 lead. Ottawa went on to win the game 4-1 with Elliot stopping 29 shots. Check out this video for Elliot’s amazing acrobatics.
Actor Kiefer Sutherland has done a lot in his storied Hollywood career, but wearing a dress on national television certainly seems like a first.
Sutherland, who currently stars as action hero Jack Bauer on the hit television series 24, came out for his appearance on the Late Show with david Letterman sporting a green dress that looked more like wallpaper than an item of clothing. The reason for his ensamble?
“I lost a bet,” Sutherland admitted to Letterman at the start of the interview, stating that he bet that New England would win their NFL playoff game. And who did Sutherland lose the bet to? None other than former NHL All-Star and Stanley Cup winner Dave Andreychuck.
Andreychuck played in the NHL for 26 seasons and amassed 640 goals and 698 assists during his career. He won the Stanley Cup as captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2003-04 after playing in the NHL for 22 seasons without winning a Cup. Subsequently, that victory would be the only Stanley Cup victory of his career. Andreychuck holds the record for most career power play goals with 270 and sits at 5th on the all-time games played list with 1,639.
Sutherland has also starred in movies such as The Three Musketeers, A Time to Kill, L.A. Confidential, A Few Good Men and Phone Booth. He is known to be a big hockey fan and even plays hockey himself. On Late Night with Jimmy Fallon a few weeks back, Sutherland spoke about how he played in a charity hockey game on the outdoor rink built at Fenway Park for the Winter Classic. The event was organized by former NHL superstar Cam Neely and fellow actor Dennis Leary and raised over $500,000. Sutherland is also close friends with former NHL great Wayne Gretzky.
What a sick move Nino Niederreiter pulled off in the CHL Top Prospects Skills Competition. I’ve seen this move pulled off before, originally seen a while back as Mission’s Move of the Month from Tyler Svoboda, but never like this. Nino roofed it, no problem, one handed!
The Detroit Red Wings have now lost consecutive games in shootouts, yesterday to the Stars and today against the Chicago Blackhawks. While yesterday’s shootout was filled with controversy over Steve Ott’s phantom goal, today featured a couple highlight reel goals from Pavel Datsyuk and Todd Bertuzzi.
Datsyuk pulled a move out from the book of Linus Omark, and certainly did not disappoint. He lobbed up a real soft shot that completely fooled Antti Niemi. Later, Todd Bertuzzi pulls off some magic as he went for the spin-o-rama and buried it beautifully. While a couple of the Red Wings stars came up big on national tv for the shootout, they were not fortunate enough to win. The point will certainly help as Detroit hunts for a playoff spot, but they narrowly missed two more points this weekend and they could have desperately used each one.
Here’s a video of both goals from today in case you missed them:
Back in November, I wrote about babes of the country music world taking in a hockey game.
Well it looks like reality stars are doing the same. I admit it, I’m a fan of the hit MTV show Jersey Shore. It’s one of my Thursday night must-see TV shows along with The Office, and 30 Rock.
If you are unfamiliar with the show, I can compare it to The Sopranos meets The Real World. There’s seven italian-american 20-somethings from various areas of the northeast (New York, Rhode Island, New Jersey, etc.) and they live in a rented house, work at a t-shirt shop, and party all night long in front of television cameras.
Of course there’s the typical ingredients that make a reality television entertaining such as fights, drama, and hooking up. Alright enough about the show and on to why I’m writing this post. The cast of the show have been on a media blitz as of late as they have received high ratings and millions of viewers. They have been on ahows like The Today Show, Jay Leno, Chelsea Lately and others. While on the west coast, the females of the show, Jenni “J-Wow”, Angelina “Jolie” and Nicole “Snookie” took in a Kings- Ducks game earlier this week. You can tell they aren’t seasoned TV stars as they couldnt find the camera. Unlike the country music girls, I wouldn’t call the Jersey Shore girls “babes” but they are attractive looking girls. The footage, courtesy of Life In Hockeywood, can be seen below:
Rob Schremp, mostly known for his ridiculous lacrosse style shootout goals on youtube, has added another beautiful goal to his portfolio. This baseball style goal came against the Avalanche, and is quite similar to the Marian Hossa goal scored against Tampa Bay in December. Personally, I think Schremp’s goal was a lot better. What do you guys think?
I was working out at the gym Thursday afternoon trying to get toned, ripped and tan like those dudes on Jersey Shore when I saw this video on CNN. I wasn’t able to hear anything but I did see players swinging at a flying object. I tried to search it on Youtube but to no avail. Thankfully Puck Daddy was on my side like Nationwide with this story.
The Green Bay Gamblers Junior team was taking on Cedar Rapids when a bat came flying on the ice like he was Fan Man during the game. The game had to be halted but some Gamblers players was able to take teamwork to the next level when a couple players swung their sticks and knocked down the bat. As of now, no one had to get rabies shots like NBA star Manu Ginobili when he bare-handed a bat during a Halloween night game.
With the Winter Classic only 2 weeks away in Boston, below is a time-lapse video from the construction of the rink at Fenway Park.
