Kids go crazy for Kiprusoff
Larry Brown Sports downloads a gem from YouTube of a kid who is completely infatuated with Calgary Flames’ goalie Mikka Kiprusoff. Like, completely infatuated.
Can you imagine when this kid is 50 and living in his parents’ basement still? Mikka Kiprusoff (long retired) jerseys, posters and pictures cover the walls and the now adult is still […]
What exactly did the lockout accomplish again?
I know we at the Scores Report don’t do a ton of puck-talk (or any at all for that matter), but I had to chuckle when I saw that the New York Rangers doled out $4.25 million to retain goalie Henrik Lundqvist.
Just like baseball, hockey has always been about teams that spend, and teams […]

Couch Potato Alert
The NBA season winds down this week, and while the playoff teams are set, the matchups are not. For example, you can expect the Bucks to put forth a maximum effort against the Pistons as a win tonight makes it less likely that they’ll be facing Detroit in the first round. Unfortunately, TNT doesn’t have […]

Along with Jones, the Kings’ Jeremy Roenick and at least one Hollywood star were said to have placed wagers with the operation.

Enjoy, and let […]
Bad Ass Mofos
Michael Jordan and Jack Tatum were Bad Ass Mofos, guys with big mouths who backed it up. Guys you hated when they were playing your team, but you would’ve killed to have on your team. Bullz-Eye.com is running their list of sports history’s Top 10 Bad Ass Mofos. Who’s #1? Where does Lawrence Taylor fall […]
The new and improved NHL…if anyone cares
Writing as one of hockey’s six remaining fans, I am excited about this season. Most team’s rosters currently retain only about half of the players they employed before the locked-out season. How about that new Markus Naslund you’ve had your eye on? A Scott Niedermayer would look pretty good at your blue line. How about […]
