First Bolts Entry into Hockey Boyfriend's Club.

During tonight's game 7 Stanley Cup playoff game between the Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning, Steven Stamkos, the hottie with a naughty body above, was the talk of the commentators table for being fierce after being just totally nailed in the face with a puck. I mean, it looked horribly, horribly painful.

Just look- spoiler alert, there is a little bit of blood in the pic. You know, with the battle wound and all.

He was only gone for under five minutes and still ended up playing over 18 minutes in the game, basically his average for the other games in this series.

You've gotta love conviction in a man. And the wound doesn't hurt either- I swear, something about a dude with a battle scar. At one point, he was pulling a Channing Tatum in She's the Man and basically had what looked like a certain feminine hygiene product stuck up his nose while another line was on the ice. All I have to say? Pulling. It. Off.

They may have lost the game, but he won my heart. Le sigh.

New Hockey Love: Wayne Simmonds.

While he's not a Penguin, I feel pretty safe in declaring my love for L.A. Kings player Wayne Simmonds. The Kings are first off not in the same conference, and secondly will not be going to the Stanley Cup finals anytime soon. Barring some sort of movie-inspiring Cinderella story that is. So I'm sure Sid, Max, Jordan and Kris won't mind too much.

It's times like this when I wonder how I could have ever thought the Canadian accent was totally off putting and annoying. Well, it irks a little, but who cares? Anyways, Wayne is 21, from Ontario, had his rookie season last year and is kicking ass this year- literally. He's known as a bit of a fighter. He is also one of the few black players in the league.

Anyways, click here to watch a video where Wayne talks about memories from his days of being drafted. So hot. So so hot. Below is a video of a Pens/Kings game where Malkin pulls a move that looks more like his buddy Ovechkin, one that might have gotten him suspended if it had been in the past few months- they've really been cracking down on this kind of thing.
