St. Louis native Pat Maroon had his day with the Stanley Cup on Saturday. The immovable object hosted a party at Charlie Gitto’s, a popular Italian joint in downtown St. Louis, and ate toasted ravioli, a dish famous to the Lou, out of the championship trophy.
He invited 11-year-old Blues superfan Laila Anderson to share the moment with him.
The Washington Capitals won their first game of the preseason on Tuesday, but the Blues’ physicality took a toll. The Caps lost Michal Kempny to injury and fought twice in the game.
After watching Hershey teammate Nathan Walker get hit high, Liam O’Brien finally had enough, asking Patrick Maroon to get these hands 13:05 into the second period.
The Big Tuna didn’t win the spirited bout, but O’Brien’s participation left NBC Sports Washington’s Craig Laughlin mightily impressed.
“That’s one of the best (fights) I’ve seen in the last couple of seasons, toe-to-toe,” Locker said.
Edmonton Oilers forward Patrick Maroon morphed into every hockey fan during the Oil’s game against the San Jose Sharks, Monday.
After a second period scrum, Maroon and Brent Burns became tangled behind the net. While laying on the ice, Maroon reached over to a fallen Burns and stroked his beard three times.
I know you’re probably thinking that you can’t be reading this right or I’m making it up. No, this is really an actual thing that happened in an NHL game.
After defeating Pittsburgh 4-1, Braden Holtby became the second quickest goaltender in NHL history to win 200 games. Sunday, Patrick Maroon got an opportunity to experience the Holtbeast’s greatness first hand.
In a span of 39 seconds, Holtby stopped Maroon five straight times.
On November 4, Tom Wilson scored two goals against the Boston Bruins, his first tallies of the season. That night seemed important – as if Wilson was taking another step towards finally realizing his offensive potential.
Since then, however, Wilson has not been able to repeat the production, so he’s been using his hands more for punching than for scoring, collecting three fighting majors in his last four games. And I’m sure if the moment would have been right on Friday, he would have also face-punched Ryan Reaves.
Wilson’s latest fight occurred Sunday night against Edmonton Oilers forward Patrick Maroon. It was a long fight that ended in a draw.
Connor McDavid needs just 13 points in his final eight games to reach the 100-point mark. The secret to his success? Nearly blinding himself with smelling salts.
