Its time for TSN's "Play Of The Year".

Today, Marcus Foligno goes head to head with San Jose's Dan Boyle.

To refresh your memory, the power forward shows finesse and skill as he beats the stingy King Henrik with a deft, between the legs goal from March 12th.

Great goal.

Susannah Collins has been shown the door by CSN Chicago. Collins' "trememdous amount of sex" faux pas lit the internet on fore earlier this week. Its appears that CSN Chicago was not amused by the negative press and internet chatter that Collins' comments have created.

From the Chicago Tribune:

“Due to circumstances unrelated to her on-air remarks Tuesday night, Susannah Collins and Comcast SportsNet Chicago have parted ways,” Phil Bedella, vice-president and general manager of CSN Chicago said in a statement.

“We appreciate everything Susannah has contributed to our network over the past year and wish her the best in her future endeavors.”





According to the Tribune, Collins’ on air slip up has brought attention to a ahem, "suggestive" internet sports video series that she co-hosted, called Sportz Nuts.

The series featured content that was questionable in its politically correctness.

Game 1 of the Montreal-Ottawa series was not without its fair share of controversy.

Gryba of the Sens saw Habs' forward Eller, looking for a suicide pass from Habs D Diaz, when he committed himself to wrecking his opponent.


Eller didn't even see the truck coming before it ran him over. He was taken to hospital with a broken nose and concussion to boot. You have to think that Eller is done for the rest of the series, if not longer.



Gryba was given five minutes for interference and a game misconduct.


Rule 48 of the NHL rule book states that when the "principle point of contact with the head" occurs, supplemental discipline is sure to follow.

Gryba will have a hearing on Friday to discuss his role in the Eller hit.
