The Pittsburgh Penguins have avenged last years loss to the Detroit Red Wings, and have done so while hoisting the third Stanley Cup in franchise history and their first in over a decade.
In doing so, the Penguins matched the 1971 Montreal Canadiens as the only teams to win the Cup on the road in Game 7 after home teams won all six previous games and the only team to win two Game 7s on the road in the same playoff year. They also won in Washington in seven in the second round.The Pittsburgh Penguins have avenged last years loss to the Detroit Red Wings, and... more

Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk has no doubt that - sooner rather than later - the National Hockey League will be expanding into Europe.
"There are a lot of logistical issues from arenas to how we set up the schedules," Melnyk told reporters in Stockholm over the weekend. "But it's happening and it's going to happen. Absolutely and irrevocably I am committed that my vote is in for European expansion."
However, not everyone - including NHL commissioner Gary Bettman - is as bullish on locating teams across the Atlantic Ocean.
"Mr. Melnyk was not voicing an official league position," he explained. "We want to develop a more permanent, more regular presence in Europe, (but) permanent doesn't necessarily mean franchises on the ground or ever."
By contrast, NHL Players' Association Executive Director Paul Kelly was more supportive of Melnyk's remarks, going so far as to establish a probable timeline for such a venture to happen.
"That door is definitely not closed - we are studying it," he said Sunday. "I don't think it's around the corner, but I could see it longer term by five, 10 years down the road."
Not surprisingly, people around the league have wide-ranging views on the subject. The NHL's success this week in both Prague and Stockholm has many believing in the real possibility of expansion. While the league takes its time discussing the viability of permanent expansion into Europe, Bettman has already said the league is committed to bringing back at least four teams - if not more - next season.
"I think we could have sold out the whole week," said Pittsburgh Penguins president David Morehouse. "I think people here are crazy about hockey. I think they love the NHL."
However, trying to comprehend making it work is a gargantuan task in itself.
"To have a regular season all the time I think it would be a little tricky," said Senators centre Jason Spezza. "Obviously, the passion and fans are here, (but) the geography doesn't work."
Should the league make a decision to expand overseas, there are several different avenues that can be taken. The NHL could set up a European division, arrange an uber-final between the Stanley Cup champion and a European champion or set aside an NHL vs. Europe series. Either way, it would mean more travel for players.
"You just can't go back and forth with the six-to-seven (hour) time difference," said Senators forward Jarkko Ruutu. "You have to get the right teams and right cities."
And what about the opinion of the league's premier player?
"It's definitely a possibility and something that's been talked about a lot," said Penguins captain Sidney Crosby. "But I'm sure there is a lot of thought before you can make any big decisions like that."

Local commercials are always going to feature local athletes delivering forced lines really unnaturally. But that still doesn't mean you can't do multiple takes. Or at least not leave the camera on one of the players long enough for him to do a really quiet, impromptu beat-box. Regardless, they always deliver the comedy gold, and this commercial delivers in spades.
But one is left to wonder, how bad of an actor is the fourth guy that he wasn't even allowed a single line? Local commercials are always going to feature local athletes delivering forced lines... more

The League is reviewing how classy this move was before determining his suspension...

He was out for 5 games earlier this year for 25 game suspension resulting from another classy move last season
The important thing is Chris Simon was neither named in the Mitchell Report or got caught dogfighting...
