Niklas Kronwall Crushes Latvian Forward At IIHF World Championship

I love big hockey hits, and I'm in love with this hit from Niklas Kronwall in Sweden's game against Latvia on Wednesday at the IIHF World Championship. It's a gloriously clean and downright silly display of split-second decision-making and the ability to turn on a dime, then crush an opponent who has no idea he's coming.

"Oh, hey. I'm gonna go this way, drop back and play defense, wait for the other team to gather the puck and attack."

"Wait. That dude already has the puck?"

Who Would've Made That Last Shot For The Lakers?

This was a joke, and it was hilarious. Not so much because of the original punchline, but because the Internet took over. And the chain of responses on Twitter was outstanding.

So here's Jordan Farmar implying ... well, it's obvious.

After the jump, some of the best responses. Follow along, then add your own in the comments.

VIDEO: John Tortorella With Another Surly Press Conference

From the time he sat down to the time he stormed off, John Tortorella spent 1:04 seconds in front of the media. This wasn't a classic Tortorella rant-filled press conference, though. It was short, surly and straight cold-blooded. It was another Tortorella classic.

There's video after the jump. We also took a quick tally.

The Cliff Harris Of Soccer Dads

I really don't know what it is about Nissan Altimas, but they seem to implore drivers to floor it. The latest example comes from a soccer dad in California.

The most troubling example of that scenario arose on Saturday in California, where a father was arrested for driving 104 mph to try and get his son and his son's friend to a scheduled soccer game on time. As reported by the Santa Rosa Press Democrat and San Francisco Chronicle, among other sources, 41-year-old Juan Carlos Gallegos was arrested after a Petaluma police officer recorded his Nissan Altima traveling more than 100 mph on the wrong side of the road.

Via Yahoo!

If you'll recall, Cliff Harris was clocked at 118 mph in an Altima for no good reason at all. There's no way anyone can endorse speeding, driving in the wrong lane and endangering the lives of children and other drivers. Was the soccer game really that important?

'The Information Highway!' A Beckett Magazine From 1995 Attempts To Explain The Internet

The Internet is now 400 years old, but in the early days, everything about the Web was new and exciting. Everyone was catching the Internet "virus" (computer term), and not even Beckett Baseball Card Monthly was "immune" ("virus" term (computer term)).

Well, Jamie Mottram managed to unearth an issue of Beckett from 1995. He found a column from Dr. James Beckett himself, explaining his magazine's forthcoming foray into the Internet. I have transcribed the article. It answered many questions I have about the Internet, and I was able to cross those off my list too:

Fans Fulfill Dreams By Losing Badly To MLB Hall Of Famers

No matter the sport, pretending to play as or against your favorite players is essentially the most normal thing one can do growing up a sports fan. You shoot over them, strike them out or find them in the corner of the end zone with no time left on the clock. If you're doing it right, you also account for the crowd noise and play-by-play guy who CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT HE JUST SAW.
