Snark, Critic and Pop!

The Polish Russian national hockey team won gold at the World Hockey Championships this week, against overwhelming odds.  First off, it turns out ice is slippery, a fact noone alerted goalie Semyon Varlamov to:

Now, in his defense that trophy looks heavy… (continue reading…)

We all know that Snark Critic Pop has become a hotbed for bear apologists and furry propaganda.  David Booth of the Florida Panthers is doing his best to fight against our bearly tolerable friends (get it?  BEAR-ly tolerable?)  Booth, who is an avid bow hunter took out this 7 foot tall menace and then tweeted this photo as a warning to any other bear out there who might have ideas…

The Corpus Christi Ice Rays take on the Texas Tornadoes in a North American Hockey League (NAHL) game, and a pier five brawl started by a heckuva sucker punch. (continue reading…)

Behold the Cincinnati Cyclones in all their glory!

The Las Vegas Wranglers of the ECHL (double A hockey) are holding what is being billed as “The last hockey game ever played on Earth“. Why? Because it is there home opener, and happens to fall on May 21st 2011, uh… I  mean October 21st 2011 which is the updated date for the rapture (this date has been brought to you by the bat-crap crazy rantings of Harold Camping).  The Wranglers have hosted other wonderful promotions such as “Gov. Rod Blagojevich Prison Uniform Night” and “Dick Cheney Hunting Vest Night” so you know they have a sense of humor.  I myself don’t think this whole October 21st thing is very funny since my birthday is the next day and it looks like I am getting screwed out of gifts, but you have to love the way this organization markets itself:

“This is a low-risk proposition,” said Wranglers president and COO Billy Johnson. “If it doesn’t go as planned, it’s not the end of the world.”

That pun is worthy of SNPs own Daniel Roos!

NHL start Teemu Selanne is set to become just the third player in NHL history to average a point a game after the age of 40.  He has his team clinging to a playoff birth in the ultra tight western conference.  Does the Internet respect this?  No.  Will the Internet let him hide his past – lets say – “poor choices”?  Absolutely not.  Despite a hall of fame career he will now undoubtedly be known as that dope dressed like Mario in that crazy add.

Hockey is a sport Chuck Norris would love to play.  Unfortunately anyone who has ever played against him is dead.  But his love of hockey lives on with Dallas Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen’s helmet which has Walker, Texas Ranger in all his glory.  He didn’t want Chuck Norris on there, but he had no choice.  Chuck wanted to be there.  Rumor has it if you skate near the crease you risk a roundhouse kick to the head!
