NHL 'News' Gets Ridiculous

Some late-night perusing of the web's many NHL-related news sites reveals what a slow weekend the fastest sport in the world experienced.
With no ice-shattering stories to report, some of the headlines are beginning to border on the absurd. I mean I know a writer needs a paycheck, but isn't no news better than inane news?
Here are some of the more amusing stories:
Site: Yahoo! Sports
Headline: Boston College's atrocious 1986 hockey rap video, 'Beanpot Trot'
Site: The Hockey News
Headline: Depression an issue hockey can’t afford to ignore
Site: MSN Fox Sports
Photo gallery headline: Moms I'd like to forecheck
Site: NBC Sports
Headline: Don’t chuckle, the Canucks will win first Cup
Site: NHL Digest
Headline: Should fans boo their team?
Site: National Post
Headline: There will be beer: Music meets hockey at the Vancouver Olympics
Site: Toronto Star
Headline: A TV show so Canadian, you could cringe
(OK, not hockey related but I still thought this headline from TV columnist Rob Salem about the Gemini Awards -- Canada's Emmys -- was damn hilarious)
