Emily Didonato Kate Bock Nashville PredatorsSorry Tyler Seguin, we found the prettiest hockey players and it’s not you!

Sports Illustrated models Emily DiDonato and Kate Bock visited Bridgestone Arena and learned a couple hockey moves from Nashville Predators players Filip Forsberg, Roman Josi, and Seth Jones.  The three Preds players hit the lottery and got to teach the models some hockey skills.

Emily and Kate learned skating, shooting and face-off and were paired with a player for a little healthy competition. The gorgeous ladies competed against each other, but we won’t know the results until the SI SwimDaily video is released. NHL.com was there to witness it, as well as SI reporter Andy Gray. Check out all the instagram pics below and also two raw clips from SwimDaily too.

Had fun teaching @emilydidonato1 and @katelynnebock how to skate this morning 😌 @seth_jones @rjosi90

Rob Gronkowski Spikes Pucks Too! http://www.thepuckoff.com/2015/02/10/rob-gronkowski-spikes-pucks-too/ Tue, 10 Feb 2015 23:39:27 +0000 http://www.thepuckoff.com/?p=365 Photo credit:  Winslow Townson/Associated Press

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski seems like a pretty fun dude and he, along with teammates Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich, headed to TD Garden in Boston to celebrate their Superbowl win.

The Boston Bruins honored the New England Patriots before their game on Saturday against the New York Islanders. The Patriots even brought the Lombardi Trophy and took photos with Bruins president Cam Neely.

Rob Ninkovich did the puck drop for Islanders captain John Tavares and Bruins captain, Zdeno Chara and afterwards, Rob Gronkowski brought out his own puck and actually did the Gronk Spike! The puck went over the glass because of the bounce!

Gronk has been seen celebrating and spiking all types of inanimate objects (like roses) all over the country, so this is actually not surprising. It’s pretty freakin cool.

Post spike, Gronk shook hands with Zdeno, who at 6-feet-9-inches (and that’s not counting him with his skates on) make the NFLer look small, even though he’s 6’6!

The best part, the Bruins won the game against the Islanders, 2-1.

Check out the spiked puck here:

What do you think of this version of the Gronk Spike?

How Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood Found Out They Were Having a Baby Boy http://www.thepuckoff.com/2015/02/04/how-mike-fisher-and-carrie-underwood-found-out-they-were-having-a-baby-boy/ Wed, 04 Feb 2015 23:44:42 +0000 http://www.thepuckoff.com/?p=345 Photo credit: Getty

Nashville Predators forward Mike Fisher and his wife, Carrie Underwood, will be parents to a bouncing baby boy (and maybe a future hockey player) in just two months!  So how did they found out the gender news?  In a not so conventional way…

The singer, who is currently 7 months pregnant, recently revealed to ABC News Radio that her and Mike didn’t want to learn about the gender in a doctor’s office.

Instead, after seeing the baby via ultrasound, Mike and Carrie, who married back in 2010, asked the doctor to not show or say anything about the gender.

“We got to see all the pictures and everything. It was really cool to see that, but whatever she’d get near, near those parts, we would look away,” Carrie told ABC News Radio.

They asked the doctor to write the gender on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope.  Carrie and Mike decided to go to a fancy restaurant and open the envelope there.

“Just the two of us in a nicer setting, but we both knew. So, that was just confirming our suspicions. We didn’t really speak of it before, ’cause we were both just like, ‘Whatever. It’s all good.’ But we knew it was a boy,” she said to ABC.

Brad Paisley is actually the one who announced to the world the Fishers were having a boy, something which Carrie knew would happen.

“Brad’s got loose lips. He’s a blabbermouth! So I was like, ‘I’m not gonna tell you until we’re ready for the rest of the world to know, ’cause I know you’ll tell people,'” she told ABC.

He made the slip in November 2014 at the CMA Awards while the two country singers hosted the show. He made the suggestion to name their new child Garth, as well as slipping references to “he” when talking about the baby.

Now Mike and Carrie have to figure out baby names!

WTF Moment of the Week: Porn Sounds at a Nashville Predators Game?! http://www.thepuckoff.com/2015/02/04/wtf-moment-of-the-week-porn-sounds-at-a-nashville-predators-game/ Wed, 04 Feb 2015 08:21:55 +0000 http://www.thepuckoff.com/?p=342 Yup, you read the headline right. Last Thursday, the Nashville Predators were innocently playing the St. Louis Blues but if you watched the broadcast via Fox Sports Tennessee, then you probably heard some strange moaning, heavy breathing and screaming.  If you haven’t guessed, it was PORN sounds while the broadcast team was trying to do their job.

Some viewers notified the station, and Fox Sports Tennessee tweeted out an apology. And this folks, is your WTF moment of the week!

Noureen DeWulf Reveals Why She Chose to be in a DocuSeries About Hockey Wives http://www.thepuckoff.com/2015/02/02/noureen-dewulf-reveals-why-she-chose-to-be-in-a-docuseries-about-hockey-wives/ Tue, 03 Feb 2015 07:36:37 +0000 http://www.thepuckoff.com/?p=338 Photo Credit: Splash News.

Noureen DeWulf, wife to Vancouver Canucks goalie Ryan Miller, recently revealed to The Hollywood Reporter the reason why she decided to be on “Hockey Wives,” a docuseries set to premiere on March 18.  The actress, known for her role on the TV show “Anger Management,” is currently pregnant with their first child.

The show, Hockey Wives, follows the wives/girlfriends of a handful of NHL players.  The show will be broadcast in Canada and unfortunately, hasn’t yet found a home on US TV.

Noureen told the Hollywood Reporter that she decided to be part of the show after she found of she was pregnant: “He was in Vancouver.  I just found out I was pregnant.  I was shooting Anger Management all day long, and I thought it would be a good idea to also have a docuseries follow me around.”

In addition to Noureen, Nicole Brown (LA Kings’ Dustin Brown’s wife), Martine Forget (wife of Toronto Maple Leafs goalkeeper Jonathan Bernier), and Maripier Morin (girlfriend of Brandon Prust from the Montreal Canadiens) will be featured in the show.

“I feel truly blessed to know people think I have it all.  But the truth is no one has it all,” Noureen said to The Hollywood Reporter on people’s perception of her life as a hockey wife and actress.

After she gives birth, Noureen is ready to get back into acting, telling the magazine that, “As soon as I give birth to my baby, I’m going to go back to Los Angeles and try to find another job.  I want to be on another show.  I want to be in the movies, so I want people to get to know me.”
