Sunday, Sunday, gotta get down on . . . wait, that doesn’t sound right.

It’s Sunday, folks, and I don’t know about you, but I’m not getting down today.  I might actually be down and out, based on my busy schedule yesterday.  If you’re like me, today is going to be a laid-back affair, so take a little time for yourself this morning and see what the World Wide Web has to say about hockey!

The folks over at Bleacher Report present to you what we should all take away from last night’s Stanley Cup Playoffs action.

Logan Couture was the hero in San Jose last night, as his OT goal cut the King’s lead to 2-1.  Watch the NHL on TSN

crew discuss how he went from being hobbled to hero, as well as other stories from last night’s game.

Looking ahead to the offseason?  Bleacher Report plays a little fact or fiction with some potential trade rumors/buyout possibilities that are swirling about the NHL this morning.

The Stanley Cup Playoffs have a way of making fans forget about the surprises and success stories of the regular season.  We get so obsessed with who wins the Cup, we lose sight of how a team like the Montreal Canadiens went from being picked to finish last in their division to winning it during the regular season, as Hockey Buzz reminds us.

It wasn’t bad enough that the San Jose Sharks lost Raffi Torres for the entire second round of the playoffs; now they are a little lighter in the pocketbook, too!

And I leave you today with a link every Sabres’ fan should visit: an examination of Jhonas Enroth and the success he is having in the IIHF World Championships.  Enjoy!

It’s Friday!  Friday!  Gotta get down on Friday.

Lord, how I hate that song.  Yet, in it’s own insipid, idiotic, and soul-sucking way, Rebecca Black’s tribute to today does capture the excitement we feel as the weekend approaches.

Sort of.

Let’s look at the world of sports (all right, the world of hockey) on Beer Day, I mean Friday!

Round two of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs is on, and you know who won’t be enjoying round two of the playoffs?  San Jose’s Raffi Torres, who has been banned from the entire second round for his hit on LA’s Jarret Stoll. Bleacher Report believes it is Torres’ reputation, not the hit, that caused this suspension.

Speaking of players making disappearing acts, Bleacher Report offers a look at the biggest no-shows of the playoffs so far.

Remember when playoff hockey was in Buffalo?  Hockey Buzz does.  Here’s a short little piece that discusses season ticket prices and has a little poll for you to take.

The aftershock of Toronto’s epic game 7 loss against Boston is still resonating through Canada.  TSN offers some insight as to how the Leafs’ players feel, and how the organization will try to move on.

Once the NHL playoffs end, the offseason begins, with the draft and free-agency giving fans of teams such as the Buffalo Sabres reason to believe that next year will be the year!  Bleacher Report targets one player that each team should consider, and their picks are a bit of a mixed bag.

The Hockey News also looks ahead to next season, with ten boom-or-bust players for the 2013-2014 NHL season.

Enjoy the final day of the work week (for most of us), and enjoy (if you dare!) Miss Black’s catchy/revolting ode!
