Happy Monday!
Another week has come and gone in the wide world of sports – this week, the boys from “15 Minutes of Fame” are talking about the most memorable moments from the Stanley Cup Final, the latest on the situations in Winnipeg and Glendale, and some other notes from around the NHL. In the GABBYs: MMA debuts, the MLB draft, Tiger Woods, NCAA controversy and more!
Still Got It!
Former NHL enforcer Donald Brashear needed just 21 seconds to put his stamp on Canadian mixed martial arts this past weekend.
The 39-year-old made his debut for Ringside MMA in Quebec City and put an absolute hurting on his opponent, Mathieu Bergeron, who was also apparently a rookie. From the start of the fight, Brashear is on the attack, knocking Bergeron down almost instantly before pounding away from above until the ref decides to intervene.
The fight didn’t last long, but I think it cleared a few things up for those of us wondering what Brashear had to offer – it looks like the guy can still move, and it looks like he can still throw a mean punch. If a guy like Brashear is able to get a good position on you and has a chance to thump you with a couple of good shots while your guard is down, you might not pull through! (After the Jump: Video of the Brashear fight, plus a NASCAR scrap and a potentially huge payday for PacMan…) (more…)
Another week has come and gone in the world of sports, which has given us plenty of material for another episode of “15 Minutes of Fame!”
This week, Geoff Driscoll & I discuss another crushing defeat for the Washington Capitals in the NHL playoffs and what it might mean for that team in terms of personnel changes, as well as what the Philadelphia Flyers needs to address during the offseason and the latest in the Phoenix Coyotes saga.
In the GABBYs: MLB no-hitters, rock solid goalies, NBA awards and soccer theatrics!

NHL to MMA
Remember Donald Brashear?
If you thought his departure from the NHL last season meant you’d heard the last of him, think again! The 39-year-old is currently plying his trade in the Ligue Nord-Americain de Hockey, a senior league in Quebec full of guys who like to shed the mitts, after wrapping up a big league career that started back in 1993.
When he’s not bulging the twine and throwing bombs with Riviere-du-Loup 3L (he had 17 goals in 28 games this season!), the six-foot-three, 237-pound Brashear is training and preparing for his debut on the Mixed Martial Arts scene! That’s right, fighting without the skates!
Quebec’s Ringside MMA announced this week that Brashear will face 27-year-old Martin Trempe, who used to play hockey himself, on June 4th at the Pepsi Colisee. (After the jump: More on the fight, plus an intro to “Floorball” starring TJ Foster of the Edmonton Oil Kings) (more…)
