    Default Richard Bachman, the NHL goalie

    http://deadspin.com/5936246/richard-...ed-goalie-mask
    It's got to suck to be the Dallas Stars' backup goalie. He'll never be the most famous person named Richard Bachman, even though the guy ahead of him isn't actually named Richard Bachman. But he's embracing it, with this new mask from David Gunnarsson, featuring art from The Shining.

    Early in his career, Stephen King wrote under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman. (His early excuse was a curiosity about whether people were buying his books for the content, or because a successful author's name was on the cover. These days he chalks it up to something more prosaic: his publisher didn't want to dilute the Stephen King brand by releasing more than one book a year. )

    Bachman (the hockey one) worked with the artist to create this mask, despite the fact that The Shining wasn't a Bachman book, and King himself tried to distance himself from the Kubrick film that provides the iconography. It's chock full of details, like the Overlook Hotel's hexagonal carpet pattern showing up in the Stars logo, and meant to "have the same uncomfortable feeling you have when you just wake up after a nightmare."

    Also, The Long Walk is the best Stephen King novel ever written. You're wrong if you disagree.

    The National Hockey League (NHL®) will unveil two new national TV spots to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Stanley Cup®, the most coveted trophy in sports. The TV spots will debut today during NHL programming in the U.S. and Canada.

    In the spot “Imperfectly Perfect,” the Stanley Cup’s splendor and unique blemishes are illuminated in amazing intimate visuals of the 3-foot, 35-pound trophy. The wear of its 125-year existence is found in and around the names that are “forever etched into this scuffed and scarred, yet still beautiful silver skin,” making its imperfections “a testament to time spent in the grasp of heroes.”

    “If This Cup Could Talk” showcases the pure adulation and exhilaration the Stanley Cup® inspires in players and fans alike. In the spot, photos and video feature players and teams celebrating their championship wins with the Stanley Cup®, while fans revel in the company of the iconic, globetrotting trophy. As the narration notes, “If this Cup could talk . . . it would recall countless hearts it has touched . . . and all of the places it has been.”

    Both TV spots were developed by Las Vegas-based creative shop R&R Partneres, in collaboration with the NHL. The agency also worked with the NHL on a long-form video piece featuring the Stanley Cup® that will be released next week.

    “As we commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Stanley Cup, we take a moment to recognize its significance in the NHL’s 100-year history,” said Brian Jennings, NHL Chief Brand Officer and Executive Vice President. “The Stanley Cup continues to dutifully serve in its mission as a worldwide hockey ambassador and our symbol of excellence. This campaign celebrates the Stanley Cup’s continued impact in the growth of the game, on and off the ice.”

    March 18 marks the 125th anniversary of the 1892 donation of the Stanley Cup® by Sir Frederick Arthur, Lord Stanley of Preston and son of the Earl of Derby, to be presented to “the championship hockey club of the Dominion of Canada.”

    “Imperfectly Perfect” and “If This Cup Could Talk” will run across the media platforms of NBC, Rogers and the NHL – including NHL Network™, NHL.com, in-arena, digital and social media. Fans can follow the conversation via the hashtag #StanleyCup.

    So I don't know if many here are hockey fans, seems this is a pretty quiet thread, but I was watching the home opener for the new NHL team, the Vegas Golden Knights, the first ever pro sports game in Vegas, and of course given what recently happened there, the opening ceremonies were quite different and heartbreaking. I sat there for half an hour in tears and even when the actual game began and Vegas got off to an early lead with a few quick goals. A tremendous job by the team to honor the city!

    Thanks for the clip - hadn’t seen it. Big hockey fan - our 9 year old son had his first game of season last night - after we traveled close to 2 hours to get to the away rink in San Jose. Caleb stoned their best played on 3 different breakaways and made 21 out of 23 saves to help secure the teams 9-2 win, always fun to watch

    The whole story of the Vegas Golden Knights is amazing. And now they've won Game 1 of the finals.

    This is the first time for me watching the finals where I didn't hate either (or both) team(s). I find myself cheering for every goal made and am okay with whoever wins. I feel so dirty!

    I watched some of the game last night and it was what the NHL needed. Fast and fun paced for the causal or new fan. As an added bonus the story of the Vegas team is great.

    I've lived in the DC Metro area my entire life. I remember the Rod Langway days back in the early 80's. This is special! I wish my grandfather could have seen this!

    44 years in the making! Decades of heartbreak erased! "The Great 8", Alex Ovechkin, the greatest lamp-lighter, and all-around hockey player, since Wayne Gretzky, and Nicklas Backstrom, the "Smooth Swede", "The Assist God", finally win a championship for DC after 11 years of playing together! All of DC goes completely nuts!

    Thank you Ovie and Backie and Oshie and Holtby, and everyone else! This town needed it!

    Word on the ice is that it won't be long before people are Kraken jokes about the name.

    I really, really wanted them to play pre-recorded booing in the arena when Gary Bettman appeared to bestow the Cup.
    Alright, we'll call it a draw.
