A Neil Peart inspired stick tap of the snare drum to Sabres fans every where on social media!

The votes have been counted in the hotly contested Tyler Ennis vs. Evgeni Malkin TSNShowdown.


North America has spoken.... and......


After this commercial break we will reveal the winner.

Psych!


Take a nap Wallenda! Tyler Ennis is the best toe drag artist in the world!

Look Ma, no harness!!


Your winner... Tyler Ennis!



Andrei Markov is no slouch of a Dman. His jock still smolders from this Ennis blow- torching that inspired a flash fire!


Ennis received 50.14% of all vtes to Malkin's 49.86%. It was that close of a race!

Way to lift Ennis up and over the NHL MVP, Pegulaville!

Enzo defeated Bruins Shawn Thornton and Benoit Pouliot in rounds one and two, repsectively to earn his showdown with Big Geno.


Beginning on May 29, Enzo will be facing off against Andrej Pavelec of the Winnipeg Jets, who defeated Mikka Kiprusoff to advance to the Pool A Finals.


My friend in hockey, Elliotte Friedman, did a wonderful job of capturing the Ennis's true essence in this "Inside Hockey" piece that aired this past winter on Hockey Night In Canada.




Poor Mrs. Ennis. Tyler told me sheepishly that he's not happy to say that he had blasted his mother in the head with rising shots off his twig when he and his bros were engaged in a serious game in the basement.

I asked Tyler if he'll ever buy his folks a new house. He told me that he won't because he never wants to lose his cherished memories of his basement hockey rink of dreams.

Laughing, he told me that the basement still looks the same today as it did when he was 12.


Attaboy, Enzo!
