One of the PGA Tour's most lucrative tournaments and the NBA and NHL playoffs highlight the upcoming sports calendar. Here's what to watch this weekend:
Mike Fisher is a fan favorite in the town of Nashville. He's also a favorite around these offices because the guy plays hockey for a living, he's a philanthropist and is married to the gorgeous Carrie Underwood. We have this jealous admiration for him where we keep wishing slightly bad things to happen like a really painful hangnail or spotty cell phone service. We've got issues.
Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' has been getting a lot of attention. But perhaps the most eye-raising use of the popular debut single from 'Red' tune is that it's currently being used as the 'official' song of the NHL lockout.
Just seven years removed from the cancelled 2004-05 season, the NHL is moving perilously close to another major work stoppage.

Created by British SCUBA instructors in 1954 as a training exercise for swimming with fins, underwater hockey (also called “Octopush”) is an aquatic team sport that resembles knock hockey, only on a much larger, much wetter scale.

The Boston Bruins defeated the Vancouver Canucks, 4-0, on the Canucks’ home ice Wednesday night to win the Stanley Cup, the first time the franchise has claimed hockey’s holy grail since 1972.
