Puck Daddy's 20 Favorite Hockey Stories of 2010

[doniceage]

The Hockey Year of 2010 is nearly over. Oh, the memories that were made, the moments we shared, the Photoshops we created, the phallic mascots we giggled at, the videos that we played on an endless loop until we memorized them like experts.

These are not the 20 "top" stories of 2010. These are not the 20 "most important" stories of 2010, unless you consider a blogger throwing a plastic snake on the ice during a playoff game to be of great consequence.

No, these are our 20 favorite hockey stories of 2010.

And here ... we ... go.

20. The Legend of Tore Vikingstad

The Norwegian hockey star made his presence known in the Vancouver Olympics. From Fourth Place Medal: "Forgetting for a moment that we're dealing with perhaps the greatest name in hockey history, Vikingstad also scored four goals for the Norge, including a hat trick in a terrific game against the Swiss. But yeah, back on the name: The only way it could be better is if Tore spoke about himself in the third person ("VIKINGSTAD IS SAD NOW... WHERE IS VIKINGSTAD'S BEER?")."
