A few more 3rds have leaked.

So a few more of the new third jerseys leaked in the last week or so, and since we posted the first few, I figured we would post these ones as well. The best part about the new crop is that they are all so shitty, you don't have to worry about buying them. I like it when the NHL makes it easy for us.


I don't mind the logo, but is anyone else sick of black?


Wow a thicker stick. Where's my wallet?


This jersey is shitty. Sorry.



I like the name om white, but again, anyone sick of the retro thing yet?



This jersey makes the Tampa jersey look decent. And that's saying a lot.

I stole these pics from Icethetics.

Afternoon Delight

-A Thrashers blog is reporting that as of August 15th the season ticket renewal rate was just 40% for the Thrashers. I smell re-location.

-Mike Ribiero like to dress all fancy. At least he should have a friend in Sean Avery.

-Lightning Fans don't like the Vancouver deal. Vancouver fans couldn't care less.

-Manon Rheaume is a sexy secretary.

-These are the guys you fucked up on in the late rounds of your Draft.

-And the HockeyBuzz Vs. HockeyDump trade rumours of the day are..

HockeyBuzz: Warrener to Tampa Bay & Berard to Tampa, Ottawa. St.Louis, Pittsburgh and Buffalo.. (And come on, thats not a rumour, thats just looking at the best D-Man available and then listing a bunch of teams that need a D-man.)

And the completely made up HockeyDump trade rumour of the day will be: Warrener to join Army & Berard to LA, Minnesota, Toronto, Florida, and Narnia.

Nikita Filatov is going to ruin everything.

So, your in a hockey pool this weekend? You got any of those rookie stips? If so, Nikita Filatov may just ruin your pool.

Here's the thing. Stamkos is by far and away the best Rookie forward out there today. He has a lock on a roster spot and will likely see some good PP time. So what's the problem? Well...

In comes Nikita. He is a long shot to make the roster (his first game is tonight against Buffalo), and with at least two other rookies dressing this season before him, I wouldn't sweat it too much. But,...BUT...if that little bastard manages to find his way onto the line-up, look the fuck out. He has the capability to blow Stamkos out of the water in the Calder race. So what? Well, in your pool, he will likely be taken in the last round, as a long shot. But he could make your first Round pick of Stamkos look ridiculous. Your best bet? Just pick Mueller and be happy you came in third.

Note: I probably copuld have fleshed this out a bit more for you, but I'm at work, and my boss is giving me the shifty eyes again.

John Tortorella kinda looks like the Fonze.

Remember Zdeno Ciger? I do. I remeber him not for his on ice play, but because his name kind of sounded like "Cigar". At least I'm being honest.

Anyways, the reason I bring him up is because it turns out he was a complete pussy. You see, it seems that his former coach in his Tampa days, a one Mr. John Tortorella, gave him panic attacks. Yes. Panic Attacks. Amazing.

I'm not going to into it mainly because the story just trails off into how it affected Zdeno's current coaching career, and that is about as interesting as the possibilty of Calgary Adding a new third jersey next season, which has been getting WAY too much play in the last couple of days.

So ya, read more at Lightning Strikes here. (But I admittedly got turned onto the story at Puck Daddy here.

More Sundin bullshit crowding your internet.

What colour is the sun in Oren & Len's world?

Do they really think that there is a slim chance in hell that Sundin is going to play for the Bolts next season? Why would he? Is it a dream of his to suit up for the worst team in hockey? Was it always a career ambition to play with Radim Vrbata? Or maybe he could just never turn down the opportunity to be the only Swede on a team with no GM, or Defence, or fans, or clear direction. Yes, that must be it.

PS - This goes for you as well Vancouver. Just replace Radim Vrabata with Darcy Hordichuck, and the rest of that crap with, umm, I don't know, let's say because you are boring.

Barry Melrose is sexually attracted to Steven Stamkos.

"He's cut. He'd be a male model if he wasn't a hockey player. But he's slim. He's 18 years old"

I just picture Barry in an old van with curtains in the windows, pulling up next to a cold and confused Steven claiming he needs help finding his lost puppy, and that his Mom told him to come and get him because she was sick, and there is also free candy in the back. This has Graham James special touches written all over it.

The Leonsis Strikes Back.

So if you are a fan of Puck Daddy like I am, you may have noticed that they have been running a little bit the last few weeks or so called"5 ways I'd change the NHL". Everyday they get a sports media personality to submit their list, and they are usually pretty interesting or at least funny. So what am I getting at? Well a few days ago, Ross McKeon, NHL editor for Yahoo Sports threw his hat in the ring and stated he thought a few teams should fold, including the Washington Capitols. Well, I guess he forgot that Ted Leonsis is an avid blogger himself, and he proceeded to fight back. Check it here.

I don't think Ted Leonsis gets enough credit for being such a pimp owner. Everyone always talks about Mark Cuban in the NBA, but Ted is the shit himself. The guy is featured in commercials for hockey, he has a daily blog, he is in the stands with the rest of the clowns. He is pretty much like me or you if we had an NHL team. I wonder in Washington knows what they got? Look at the shit show in Toronto. Or the Soprano episode in Vancouver. If only every team had a Ted or Mario or those two hippies that bought the lightning.

If only.

Thirds & Turds.

We gots overselves some of them third jersey logos thanks to the good people (probably) at Icethetics. Wanna check 'em out? Follow me...


Here it appears that Wayne decided to give the coyote head a body. It's nice I guess, I would have opted for this instead.


And the good old boys in teh ATL have decided to do the Dallas thing. I would have just gone with this instead. I feel it has a certain, je ne sais quoi.


Looks like the bruins are taking a trip in the way back machine for this little piece of bread and butter. It's good, but not great.


We already saw these bad boys at the Winter Classic last season. So why is on this damn list? We might as well show a picture of Dan Hinote's wife nude.


The sharks are moving the arm patch to the crest. I for one think that something, something, more pics of Dan Hinote's wife nude.


The Lightning decided to go with something retarded.


And the Leafs.

Giving Vinny an erection since 1997.

So you may or may not be familiar with The Tampa Bay Lightning Girls, but trust me, they do in fact exist. You see, in the non tradition hockey markets like Florida, the peeps need a bit more than a Stanley Cup Championship to get their shit flowing. Cue the sluts. Actually, they aren't much different than the bitches that clean the ice in most other arenas, except they are dumber and crave 10% more cock.



Anyways, what made me think of these lovely ice lassies, was a blog I stumbled across by the name of Hockey, Football, and Stiletto shoes. It's a fairly odd sports blog based in Pittsburgh and curated by a lady. It holds true to its word, as it does cover the topics of football, hockey and yes, High heeled shoes.
