So outta nowhere this Harlem Shake came and took over the Internet. So we decided to find as many videos of the Harlem Shake that the hockey-world could produce.
Here is the first one...the Phoenix Coyotes.
Honestly we can't stop laughing at this one.
And here are some kids from the Midwest Express doing the dance.
The Kitchener Rangers have their version.
They formed a human bicycle. Impressive.
TSN Sportscentre...we have no words for their version of this dance craze.
Then there's the Columbus Blue Jackets mascot and ice girls doing it.
We don't even know with this one.
If you know any versions that we forgot let us know. We can't get enough of these.

58,000 Games on Tomorrow
Well, that may be a little bit of an exaggeration. But there are twelve games on and if you're in the USofA and get the NHL Network then you get treated to a rare triple-header. Which is pretty freaking awesome. Starting at one is the Penguins/Devils game, then at four it will be the Coyotes/Sharks game and then at seven is HNIC Leafs/Canadiens which you know will be some kind of bloodbath.
Sorry for the more than two weeks between posts. We are the literal worst as you should already know. But we are back with a few links and videos that we think are fun, fun fun for a Friday.
- In case you were wondering what player was on what team or what moves a certain team made, NHL.com has a great comprehensive list of all of the moves that each team in the league made. It is definitely worth a look-see just to brush up on what is going on.
- So, he does exist and isn't actually the name of the Big Bad in the new Star Trek movie like we thought...Korbinian Holzer.
Count us shocked.
- The New York Islanders traded a conditional second-round draft pick to the Boston Bruins for Tim Thomas. Yeah, we thought it was strange too until we heard that the Islanders needed to reach the cap floor then it made sense.
- The Flyers will keep Kimmo Tomonen for another year which is great for their up and coming defensemen.
- If you want, you can vote on the Bridgestone Best Moment of the Week but we just wanted to link it because all three of the moments chosen to vote on are pretty baller. We definitely recommend taking a gander and checking out the videos here.
- If you're in a fantasy team and need someone to either replace an injured player or someone who isn't producing like you would want, NHL.com has a few recommendations on guys who would be a great pick-up. They are the players who play with the superstars like Chris Kunitz. Everyone forgets about him but he does score quite a few goals thanks to oh, whatshisname that number eighty-seven kid.
- Is it weird that we watched this and then immediately wanted to buy anything they told us? Cause we think it's a very compelling argument for whatever they are selling. We would buy it without even thinking.
Guess that's the point.
Also, who else thinks that with every passing day Matt Duchene looks more and more like Sidney Crosby? Because we definitely think he does.
On a sad note, we would like to take the time to mourn the loss of Brian Burke as General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs. We will miss his truculence and his bad attitude and his awful trades. But most of all, we will miss his hair.
Oh boy will we miss that hair. And the attitude of course.
If you guys have any videos or tidbits that you want to send us, please do. We gather what we can and then post it here. Send us anything and everything that you find interesting or funny.

Things to Ponder on a Monday
Most of the teams in the league have had their first game and now have either a win or a loss under their belt.
Which is pretty awesome.
We could be bitter and angry at the NHL for locking us out. We could. But we just can't. We waited too long for games and we are just so freaking happy that it's back. So don't mind us in our honeymoon period with the NHL. It's just so beautiful here.
Here are some news updates that we think are interesting:
- There are new rules in effect now and there were two examples of new penalties that happened during the Penguins/Rangers game yesterday.
One is a new face-off rule that the player taking the face-off cannot use their hand to bat the puck until a third player (from either team) has done it. It's called a 'delay of game: faceoff infraction'. Sounds weird to us but what do we know?
The other penalty being called now is a smothering the puck rule. But we've been griping about that for a few years now. We hate when players will lay on/grab a puck in the defensive zone. Pet peeve of ours.
- Tomas Holmstrom will announce his retirement on Tuesday. It's a sad day for many Red Wings fans. They're losing everyone left and right. We're pretty sure Holmstrom retired because he couldn't go to the rink everyday without Nick Lidstrom. It hurt too much.
- The Kings lost defenseman Matt Greene for the remainder of the season with a back injury. This is bad news bears for them.
- Scott Cullen has a bunch of observations from the first weekend of the season so give it a whirl and let us know what you noticed about the start of the season.
- Also, NHL.com has some fantasy hockey advice for those that are in a pool.
We've been wondering, are any of you in fantasy leagues this season? We didn't do one just because it was such short notice and most everyone we know had teams already.
If you are, who did you pick that you think as a great choice? Or the prudent choice? Or a rookie you think is gonna break out? Let us know your thoughts on the players you think are gonna make a difference in either the NHL or for your fantasy team.
Also, we have a picture-heavy recap of the weekend's games after the cut so click if you dare...

Hey...Remember Us?
It's okay if you don't. And it's okay if you're still mad at us. We totally understand.
In all seriousness, we kind of had a tantrum when the lockout was announced. It was hard to find something positive or something to talk about without the NHL in our lives. It was easier to just quit than have to think/be creative while real life was kicking us hard in the ass. We were pretty devastated to have to live through another winter (our third!) without hockey because of a lockout.
Every day we missed hockey. And every day we thought about the sport we loved. We reblogged stuff at our tumblr and we whined on Twitter but it just made it worse for us. It was a dirty spiral of alcohol and anger and repeated watchings of Miracle and Goon.
Yeah, we talked about maybe posting about the AHL and the Junior leagues but when push came to shove, we just couldn't. It's just not the same when you're inundated with the NHL at all times. When you're stuck in a town that only has an NHL team then you get what you get. It was like we were marooned on Dry Island, stuck with Peter Laviolette and his extreme beliefs.
Or something like that.
And honestly, we want to apologize for that lapse in posting and general communication through this blog. It was shitty of us to leave our faithful readers hanging like that. We don't expect you to forgive us easily but we can only hope.
It wasn't cool of us to leave you all hanging in a time when we all could have used a few poorly photoshopped pictures and awful, tasteless jokes.
This will be a loose-posting schedule, when we can and however we can. We will be taking suggestions and some prodding as usual. We want to be better and funnier and just in general more awesome at blogging than we were before. But we can only hope.
It's almost surreal that hockey is back. We still don't believe it. It kind of his us how much we missed hockey while watching the boys playing in the WJC. Watching it kind of brought back memories and feelings and out came out the WJC DVD set that Curtis gave us and the Blackhawks greatest games DVD.
We missed the hockey on our TVs and we're sure you did too. So, give us a chance and hopefully we can redeem ourselves.
As a blog, we can only promise to do our best and to bring the funny however we can. It's the least we can do in this shortened season.
It's good to be back and we missed all of you. It's gonna be a whirlwind so let's hold on tight and enjoy it.

More Reasons to Watch the AHL
Well, it's one but it's an important one. There are so many NHL players being re-assigned to their junnior teams or to the team's farm team. That makes another notch in the 'Why yes you should watch AHL games and follow them and care about the AHL boys' list of doom.
Here are a few teams that have been making the moves:
- Blues send Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko and others to their farm team in Peoria.
- The Stars sent twenty-six players to their farm team, the Texas Stars.
- Kings sent Jordan Nolan with fifteen others to the farm team in Manchester.
- Capitals sent a ton of guys to the AHL, well, 21 guys to be exact.
- The Bruins sent a few players back to their junior team and then the rest were assigned to their farm team in Providence.
- The Jets sent Alexander Burmistrov to their farm team and Mark Scheifele to his junior team in Barrie.
- Edmonton's farm team in Oklahoma City is stacked with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle joinng their already impressive ranks.
- The same could be said about New Jersey's current AHL line-up with the additions of Adam Larsson and Adam Henrique.
- Coyotes sent a bunch of players to their new farm team affiliate in Portland.
- The Maple Leafs sent 22 players to their farm team, including Jake Gardiner and Nazem Kadri.
- Canadiens also sent a bunch of players to their AHL team.
- And other dudes that we forgot to mention that have been sent to their team's AHL affiliate.
