The NHL season got underway today with a game between Carolina and Minnesota in Helsinki, Finland. (Don’t feel bad. No one else knew about it either. Nice work, Mr. Bettman.)
Sportspickle kicked off the season with this hilarious list of NHL pickup lines.
Lew Paper may be the only person in the world happier about yesterday’s no hitter than Roy Halladay himself.
Talk about striking while the iron is hot. Paper’s new book, Perfect, (which came out this week) is about the only other post season no hitter in baseball history, Don Larsen’s perfecto during the 1956 World Series.
He took a few minutes to speak to us about Larsen’s’ accomplishment, the other players on the field that day and the future of 3D TV.
How much can one man seriously take? Especially one the size of Shaquille O’Neal. Nate Robinson seems to have taken it upon himself to continuously prank the big man throughout training camp. You have probably already seen the cookie and the dunk, but now Lil’ Nate is recruiting his fellow point guard Rajon Rondo into the fold.
What happened to the Boston Celtics? When did they become so carefree and fun? It seems like all they do is party and bullshit. Does the introduction of Shaquille O’Neal really do that much to ignite the playfulness in a team?
Check out Kevin Garnett, Glen Davis, Nate Robinson, and Shaq get their dance on to some Waka Flocka.

Nate Robinson is taking the pranking right at Shaq. First it was putting a cookie in his mouth while he was sleeping. Now the smallest Celtic puts on “The Big Shamrock’s” shoes and tries to defend Delonte West and run a suicide.
Oh yeah, Nate also dunked over O’Neal at practice. This team might not win a championship, but these guys are going to have a lot of fun trying.
