Welcome back to FOGSquad! With the end of the '15-'16 season, we thought it was appropriate to share the hypothetical trophies we have given players, all of which have been assigned through the analysis of countless hours of data gathered over the course of the year. Without further ado, the Official FOGSquad Awards!

 The FOGCast is back in town, and we're joined by a special guest: Jack Eichel! The full transcript of this episode is under the cut. Enjoy!

Yikes! This season has seen a lot of hockey players arriving late to practice. What is it about 2014-2015? Electrical disturbances shutting down alarm clocks? A distaste for breakfast foods? A strange overpopulation of crows? Overwhelming, soul-crushing ennui? Any of those are completely valid reasons for missing a day of work or school if you're a normal person, but we all know that hockey players are above things like social responsibilities and the "law."

Anyways, we've compiled a list of ways that any hockey player could be late to practice. If you aren't a hockey player, imagine you are! If that's difficult, here's a tip: imagine you have a lot more money and a lot more leeway than you have ever had in your entire life. Phew, that should get you in the mindset!

It's summer! I've got my snapback on and I'm ready to fuckin' party. The playoffs have come around once again, and you're either gazing for hours out the window, preparing for the worst, or have shed all human emotions. The Squad decided to have a little fun with the bracket, as both of our teams have been kicked out of the playoffs. Who do we think will win the Stanley Cup? Read on to find out!

We here at Fake Or Gay would like to apologize for our tardiness on this post. We hope you can understand that we needed our time to mourn. It has been several months since the departure of Michael Richards to the Los Angeles Kings' farm team, the Manchester Monarchs. This fall from glory was expected, but surprising all the same. However, we do not intend to keep you from our eulogy with minor background details that you are already aware of. Without further ado, our eulogy.

The trade deadline, much like the inevitability of death, is creeping up on us.

Keep checking back to this post for more breaking trade news as they occur!

Hey everyone, and welcome back to Fake or Gay! Marissa and I here at this powerful blog are fans of the Jay Baruchel film Goon. The two of us have watched it separately, but never together. We decided to amend that. I hope you're expecting a Goon liveblog!

Have you ever entered hockey fandom only to realize that you had no idea what anyone was talking about? “Advanced statistics”–or, more colloquially, “nerd talk”–is an important part of analyzing hockey games and talking about hockey games to other hockey fans. Some hockey fans will tell you that all you need to do is “watch the game” to understand who is a good player and who isn’t. However, statistics can show patterns beneath simple “eye tests”, because eyes aren’t really that reliable and you probably haven’t been to an optometrist in years.

Unfortunately, just like wedgies, advanced statistics strike at the most inopportune times. You can protect yourself from feeling utterly confused by reading this article, which we have developed to help you learn nerd talk within a few short minutes. The terms these “armchair experts” use can be very confusing, but allow us to simplify them all for you.
