It was senior night at Nebraska on Sunday, and Mike Peltz decided to make it a memorable one. The Cornhuskers reserve guard got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend in front of a packed crowd. Though she doesn't appear to say yes, the big hug, tears and ring on her finger indicates a positive response.
Way Too Many Men on the Ice
According to Rule 74 of the NHL Official Rulebook, Five players (in addition to the goalie) are allowed on the ice at once and "players may be changed at any time during the play from the players’ bench provided that the player or players leaving the ice shall be within five feet (5') of his players’ bench and out of the play before the change is made." Florida was a bit confused by the rule during Sunday's game against Boston when they were caught with 11 (yes, 11) players on the ice at once.
Dumb Tweet of the Week
Minnesota State Representative Pat Garofalo sent out a tweet last night saying, "Let's be honest, 70% of teams in NBA could fold tomorrow + nobody would notice a difference w/ possible exception of increase in street crime." When contacted later by Deadspin, he explained his logic by pointing out that the NBA has a high arrest rate and that its punishment for drug tests is weaker than other leagues. So now it all makes sense, I guess.

New Sport Alert: Goldsprints
The term "sport" may be a stretch but Goldsprints is coming to a bar near you. The premise is simple: two people get on stationary bikes that are set on a metal frame with the front wheels removed. Music starts, the bikers bike and a computer program tracks their progress while a giant screen shows who is in the lead. Fifteen seconds, the race is over, a winner is declared and the next two people compete.

Feel-Good Video Of The Day
I mentioned the story of 12-year-old New Zealand native Louis Corbett, who is going blind due to a genetic eye disease called retinitus pigmentosa, in Hot Clicks a couple weeks ago as Corbett prepared for his trip to Boston to attend a Celtics game. The visit happened last week and Extra Mustard has all the details.
