Many sports bloggers scour the AP newswire and other sports blogs for the latest in athletic-themed hilarity. Not MYFO, though. Sure, the rest of the blogosphere is checking ESPN.com and Deadspin. Judging from yesterday and today, we’re the leading hockey blog for all the news Muscovite Journalism can write.

Suddenly, those Caps-Pens games will be a bit more interesting. According to reports from Russian publications, Washington Capitals goal-machine Alex Ovechkin got into an argument at a nightclub with some dude named Gennady Ushakov. Ovechkin allegedly punched Ushakov and broke/damaged/rearranged his jaw.

Chris Chelios, who stole John Cusack’s hockey allegiance from the Blackhawks, says that the truth will come out when the NHLPA releases an 80-100 page report of Saskin’s conduct. 80-100 pages to say that Saskin applied the Patriot Act to his rule?

After a cursory review of last year’s NHL statistics, I’ve concluded that Edmonton’s attempted poach of Sabres’ left wing Thomas Vanek wasn’t as crazy as it seemed. Sure, the obvious numbers are there – 5th in goals scored, 9th in shooting percentage – and while the money that Buffalo had to shell out to [...]

We all fall in love sometimes against our will. How does that old song go? “You made me love you (didn’t want to do it)…” I confess, I have, too. It started, innocently enough, with a crush. The boyish grin, the deft stickhandling, the crisp passes. Then, I fell in love. I remember it as [...]

One reason for the decrease in my ventures to ESPN’s website is the ubiquitous video on the right side of the screen. I do not need to hear a talking head tell me what stupid clip is coming up next. Fantasy Focus, Mike and Mike, and Roger Cossack bring me one step closer to suicide, [...]

Ed Belfour has lived quite a life. The man no doubt has large trophy cases in his megamansion, in which he stores his multitude of smaller trophy cases.
