As a fan of the game I was pretty shocked to hear Daniel Alfredsson's comments after their last playoff game. Recently nominated for the Mark Messier Leadership Award, Daniel Alfredsson has been a pretty solid leader in Ottawa for most of his career and is a pillar of the franchise. Ask Siri and she'll even say Alfie is God. But after last night's loss he much pretty much tossed up the white flag, booked his flight home to Sweden and surrendered to the mighty Pittsburgh Penguins.

Mikhail Grabovski Comes Clean About Bite

What about the incident with Max Pacioretty?
“The incident? It wasn’t that much. He was choking me and I bit him. Don’t stick your hands where you shouldn’t. To be honest with you he was choking me pretty hard, to the point where I really couldn’t breathe. And I couldn’t pull his hand away at all. I tried to hit him with my other hand, but I couldn’t because he was choking me. There was nothing left to do but bite him.”

The NHL Playoffs Injury Parade

It's that fun time when NHL teams start to reveal what injuries their players had or suffered during the playoffs and we shake our heads in awe. We like to call this time of year the Playoffs Injury Parade as teams disclose injuries that were suspected about during series' or completely unknown about. These injuries are kept under a veil of secrecy during the playoffs as you can't give your opponent a sniff of weakness so it's always interesting when a team is eliminated and you get to see what players were playing through. There are only a few injuries that will keep a player from playing this time of year and if you don't have have some battlescars when you win than you're not doing it right.

Phil Kessel Wake Up Call

An ongoing joke I have with my brothers is that Phil Kessel doesn't get enough sleep. He always looks sleepy on the bench and it's probably only a matter of time before he gets the Paul Maurice bags under his eyes. Clearly this look doesn't affect his play as he still has the speed and scoring touch to finish 8th in league scoring this year. Well, a Boston radio station named WAAF thought he needed even less sleep so they sent a a host from the Hill-Man Morning Show with a bullhorn to heckle Phil Kessel outside the hotel where the Maple Leafs were staying:
The heckling was a retaliation for Toronto radio station host, Dean Blundell, attempting to send pizzas to the Boston Bruins hotel in the morning. Here's them talking about the prank at the 51:00 mark:

The last time the Maple Leafs were in the playoffs...

- Most of our friends were still virgins.
- Todd Bertuzzi was the most hated man in hockey.
- Facebook had just launched, but just for Harvard students so you couldn't creep girls at your school yet. You had to use ICQ and MSN to hit on girls until 2am at night.
- Dick Tarnstrom was one of the highest scoring defencemen with 52 points. 38 of those points came on the powerplay and Tarnstrom was a -37 that season.
- Paris Hilton wasn't an amateur pornstar yet.
- Dan Cloutier was a winning goalie in the NHL.
- You wouldn't be able to rewatch the Darcy Tucker hit on Sami Kapanen thousands of time because YouTube wasn't invented.
- Justin Timberlake had recently showed the world Janet Jackson's right titty.
- Joe Nieuwendyk was a Leafs hero in the playoffs and wasn't getting fired as GM of the Dallas Stars.
- Joe Sakic hadn't stuck his hand in a snowblower yet.
- Dion Phaneuf's hottie, Elisha Cuthbert, had just appeared in The Girl Next Door and became every teenage boys fantasy.
- Marty St. Louis won the Art Ross Trophy putting up 94 points in 82 games and he's won it again this year with 60 points in 48 games.
- One of our favourite video games ever, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, hadn't even come out yet meaning I hadn't spent most of my time robbing hookers and starting gang wars.

2013 NHL Awards Predictions
The 2013 NHL regular season has come to a close and it's time to pick our winners for the major NHL awards before the playoffs influence our opinions. Some of these awards are very difficult to choose with many candidates in the running for each award. This was expected in a shortened 48-game season as nobody really had the time to run away with an award. We may not get an actual say in who will win, but our picks will make for a fun drinking game in June.
