Earlier today James Duthie tweeted out a picture from 1998. It’s of nine-year NHL veteran Jaromir Jagr (Simmonds is old!), and 10-year old Milan Lucic. They are now teammates, and that makes this picture awesome.

When ceremonial puck drops go awry
Posted by Justin Bourne under General Hilarity, Hockey Pics on Mar 26, 2013
The above picture is from a charity game in Toronto this weekend between the NHL Alumni and a team from the Toronto Transit Commission.
To partake in the ceremonial puck drop, [Mary-Margaret] McMahon walked out to centre ice on a red carpet, accompanied by officials including TTC CEO Andy Byford, Kevin Morton of the Amalgamated Transit Unionand TTC chair Karen Stintz, who brought along her two kids. As a TTC employee skated over for the faceoff, he hit a rut and lost control, said McMahon. Suddenly, she found herself in a heap on the ice, alongside Stintz and her kids, Byford and another TCC employee.
My worst fears as a player come true.
I apologize for filing this picture under “General Hilarity” given the tears from McMahon’s daughter and all, but I mean…come on. …Right? Everyone’s okay. Therefore, that’s generally hilarious.

And here’s the best beard in hockey history
Posted by Justin Bourne under Beards, General Awesomeness, Hockey Pics on Mar 20, 2013
This is a beard that a hockey player on planet Earth is currently sporting, via @linushugosson. His name is Emil Kaberg, and he plays in Örebro of Sweden’s second division. Eat your heart out, Brian Wilson. This one is entirely real, and it is spectacular.
…Shout-out to Radko Gudas.

He is 20-year-old Petr Mrazek, and he appears to be The Coolest Guy. Petr Griffin in the house.
Petr Mrazek to start tonight for Wings in St. Louis, making his NHL debut.

I wish him the very best of luck. I’m already a fan.

Photo: Nail Yakupov met Jaromir Jagr when he was just a wittle guy
Posted by Justin Bourne under Hey Neat, Hockey Pics on Feb 06, 2013
There’s something fitting about the sound “Yak” being associated with the sound “Jag,” but that could just be coming from someone who spends too much time at the pub. Anyway, today Nail Yakupov shared a picture of himself at 11-years old during the last lockout on Twitter, standing alongside then-NHL great Jaromir Jagr. I can’t believe Jagr is still in the league.
Really, the best part of the whole tweet is the wording though. If the picture’s not for you, I suspect you’ll enjoy the text.
That was 2004 -Jagr played in Russia , in Lockout time . And it’s me 11 years old Boy :) Good eh ?)))) twitter.com/Nail10_1993/st…

Zack Kassian is basically the best: a photo gallery
Posted by Justin Bourne under Hockey Pics, Photo Galleries, Zack Kassian on Feb 04, 2013
The real #1 best pic: can't explain why I love it so much.
I never understood why so many of my teammates chose not to wear their fake teeth. I mean, I get it during the game – having your teeth in doesn’t provide you with a benefit, so why risk a complication – but still: we’re headed out to a movie, buddy, are they that hard to put in? The no-tooth thing is part of the whole hockey player vibe though, I guess. If you’re going as a hockey player for Halloween, you’d inevitably black out a tooth.
Related: if you were going as a hockey player for Halloween, you’d try to look as much as like Zack Kassian as humanly possible.
Dude is off to a great start in Vancouver, with five goals and a number of fights already under his belt through eight games, which has earned him a promotion to the top line alongside the Sedins. It’s this great start that got my attention, and brought me to his Getty Images page.
And HOLY CRAP: Zack Kassian is (unintentionally?) hilarious. I don’t actually know a whole ton about the guy aside from the fact that he takes amazing pictures. I’ve selected the ten best after eight games for your viewing pleasure, and I intend to stay on this throughout the season. Let’s dive in.

Don’t worry, the looks get more blank as we go.
