Share this: Hockey players often are labeled as the toughest athletes in sports, and Columbus Blue Jackets forward Matt Calvert did his best to prove that to be true in Friday’s game against the New York Rangers. It started with a blocked shot in the second period that swept him off his feet. The puck hit Calvert in the face, opening his face like a faucet and leaving a pool of blood on the ice. The wound required 36 stitches. [embedded content] He returned to the game (because he’s a hockey player) and remarkably scored scored the eventual game-winning goal for the Blue Jackets in the third period.

Paulina Gretzky Won Halloween Again, This Time In Full Gladiator Fashion
Share this: Paulina Gretzky has never been shy on Halloween or Instagram, and this Halloween season has proven no different. Gretzky took to social media Sunday to show off her latest costume — a Gladiator outfit. Take a look. No word yet on what her father Wayne Gretzky — the greatest hockey player ever — or her fiancé Dustin Johnson, the world’s third-ranked golfer, plan on being for Halloween, but they’ve sure got a lot of ground to make up.

NCAA Tournament: Hockey East Goes Winless In Friday Early Games (Videos)
The NCAA Men’s Hockey Tournament kicked off Friday, but it was a disappointing day for several hockey east schools. No. 4 seed Northeastern kicked off its first appearance in the tourney since 2009 following a historic 20-1-2 late-season run that ended with them winning the Hockey East Tournament. The Huskies got off to a quick start, too, as freshman Nolan Stevens potted the first goal of the game just 3:07 into the first. But Northeastern’s Cinderella run was cut short soon after, as No. 1 North Dakota scored five unanswered goals en route to an eventual 6-2 win. Things went slightly better for No. 3 Notre Dame, who took No. 2 Michigan to
Tom Brady, Gisele Catch Son Ben’s Hockey Game Over Broncos-Steelers (Photo)
Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, blah, blah, blah. Who cares? New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady wasn’t very concerned Sunday with the outcome of the second AFC Divisional Playoff clash between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos. Instead, he took some time to get away from football and go enjoy his son Ben’s hockey game with wife Gisele Bundchen. The photographer who took the photo for TMZ Sports said it was taken at approximately 7:15 p.m. — aka right when the Broncos-Steelers game was wrapping up. It’s alright, Tom. You didn’t really miss much, anyway. Manning and the Broncos won a snoozer 23-16. Thumbna...
Don Cherry-Inspired Hockey Jerseys Will Make Your Eyes Bleed (Photo)
The Toledo Walleye of the ECHL plan to be as fashionable on the ice as Don Cherry is off it. The Walleye, an affiliate of the Detroit Red Wins, announced Wednesday on Instagram their plans to wear checkered jerseys Jan. 23. The bold wardrobe strategy is Toledo’s way of paying tribute to Cherry, who’s known as much for his crazy suits as he is for his hockey analysis or his NHL coaching career. Cherry, who currently works as an analyst for CBC, guided the Boston Bruins to the playoffs in each of his five seasons at the helm from 1974 to 1979. He’s since become one of the most interesting characters in
Hockey East Roundup: Vermont Survives No. 10 BC In 3-2 Overtime Win
It took a miracle for Boston College to reach overtime, but in the extra period, its luck finally ran out. Freshman forward Alex Tuch scored for the No. 10 Eagles (17-10-2) with 9.6 seconds remaining in regulation to send the game into overtime, but Vermont forward Anthony Petruzzelli scored 1:47 into added time to help the No. 17 Catamounts (17-10-2) escape with a dramatic 3-2 win Friday night at Kelley Rink. The contest between two ranked teams was a back-and-forth affair from the start, as both squads traded goals in the first period. Vermont took a 2-1 lead in the second period with a goal off the stick of forward Kevin Irwin, and that lead would
