Lucic’s Glass-Shattering Check - Video

A mere 18 seconds into the second period of the Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs game Thursday night, Milan Lucic (Boston) smacked Mike Van Ryn (Toronto) so hard into the glass that it shattered.  It’s like Van Ryn had something to prove after that because he scored almost exactly six minutes later and the […]

It’s been a rough little while for Rick DiPietro, the 27-year-old netminder for the New York Islanders.  He’s been plagued by all sorts of problems (remember the headaches and “general all-over body achiness?”) and now, after having his left knee surgically repaired, he’s experiencing swelling and fluid around that same joint.  Fans were surprised when […]
