  • Vegas Beats Winnipeg with Stick Jets Livid Goal Wasn't Overturned After Hellebuyck Slashed in Head
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/vegas-downs-jets-3-2-to-remain-on-top-of-western- conference-472272033.html Vegas beats Winnipeg with stick Jets livid goal wasn't overturned after Hellebuyck slashed in head By: Mike McIntyre A heavyweight battle of the Western Conference’s top-two teams delivered in spades Thursday night. And while the Vegas Golden Knights skated away with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Winnipeg Jets, it was a controversial call earlier in the game — and Winnipeg’s reaction to it — that will surely reverberate all the way to the NHL’s head office. We take you back to late in second period, with the teams locked in a 1-1 tie and Vegas on the power play. Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck couldn’t quite squeeze a shot from the blue-line, and the puck sat loose behind him just inches from the goal-line. Vegas forward James Neal, apparently trying to cash in, took a wild swing with his stick that caught Hellebuyck flush in the head. Neal’s twig broke in half, the blade spinning towards the corner boards as the proverbial smoking gun. Only there was no penalty call on the play and no whistle. Erik Haula then pounced on the loose puck, knocking it home for the go-ahead tally. Winnipeg protested, and the two referees huddled with the linesman for a few seconds before ruling it a goal. Jets head coach Paul Maurice challenged for goaltender interference. Following a lengthy review, referee Ghislain Hebert ruled the original call stood — even though it was clear as day Neal slashed Hellebuyck in the face with great force.

  • Orlando's Newest Attraction
    Orlando’s Newest Attraction - the WhirlyDome - Features WhirlyBall, Laser Games and New Brew Pub Restaurant Welcome to the WhirlyDome , Orlando’s newest and perhaps most unique attraction. The venue introduces the game of WhirlyBall to Orlando. WhirlyBall is the world’s first totally mechanized team sport, combining bumper cars, basketball, lacrosse and hockey into a family-friendly, frenzy of fun. The game is played 5 on 5, with players piloting WhirlyBugs (high-tech bumper cars) as they use a scoop to pass and shoot a plastic wiffle ball at their opponent’s goal while bumping and position blocking their way around the court. Every game has an official umpire to enforce the rules of the road, keep score and make sure all players have a great time. The game/sport requires no prior experience – and absolutely no athletic skills at all! Already popular in Chicago, Detroit and Atlanta, WhirlyBall is sure to be a winner in Orlando with two courts available for play. It’s the perfect setting for corporate events or family fun. But the WhirlyDome is more than just WhirlyBall. Visitors can also take a spin in the SYM 026 , North America’s first F1 driving simulator ; players will experience the sights, the sounds and the feel of what it’s like to get behind the wheel of the most technologically-advanced race cars in the world. WhirlyDome also offers Laser Frenzy , where players navigate a maze of laser beams, haze and mirrors, as well as the latest in Laser Tag . Guests will also find pool tables, bowling lanes and a variety of arcade games.

  • January 15, 2012 Cubs.Com Wrigley's Right-Field
    January 15, 2012 Cubs.com Wrigley's right-field bleachers getting patio By: Carrie Muskat CHICAGO -- The Cubs announced the addition of a patio in the right-field bleacher section at Wrigley Field, which will be ready for the 2012 season and create a rooftop-like atmosphere. The Budweiser Patio will include a 75-foot LED sign installed above the right-field wall with the capability to display game information, such as pitch count, photos of players and statistics. It will not have video replay because of the size. The new right-field configuration can handle a group of 150 people, or three groups of 50 each, or may be sold on an individual basis. Cubs team president Crane Kenney said the pricing was still to be determined. "What we're finding both for our suites as well as other parts of the ballpark is that people want to be able to circulate -- you see it on the rooftops," Kenney said Saturday after a business management session at the 27th annual Cubs Convention, where the announcement was made. "[It will be] a place where you can bring clients, move around in the space and not just be fixed," Kenney said. "If I'm in seat [No. 1] and my clients are in seats two through eight, I don't get to talk to the person in seat [No. 8]. It's a chance to circulate." Each section of 50 tickets will include both seated and standing-room-only tickets, and an all-inclusive food and beverage package. The Wrigley Field bleachers underwent a major renovation after the 2005 season when they were expanded and a restaurant was added in the batter's eye.
