Puck Daddy - NHL

Forget the Scotty Bowman to the Blackhawks thing and that Kevin Lowe promotion to president over with the Oilers. Clearly, the biggest hockey news of the day has been broken by celebrity gossip columnist Perez Hilton: Actress Kate Hudson has sparked up an old romance with retired NHL star Eric Lindros.

As PerezHilton.com was the first to exclusively report, the actress and Lance Armstrong just ended their relationship. Well, she's already got herself a new man. And, it's actually an old man!

Sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that Hudson is once again seeing an ex-boyfriend of hers, a fella by the name of Eric Lindros. "Kate and Eric have been holed up at her parent's [Goldie & Kurt's] house Muskoka, Canada," a well-placed insider tells us. "She went there immediately after she and Lance ended things."

Perez also wrote, "Dating your own sloppy seconds? Tasty!" and then drew a bunch of nonsense on her photo.

Obviously, Puck Daddy wasn't around for the first go-round for these two lovebirds, so hopefully the rumors are true. Gosh, where to begin? The shared agony of less talented siblings? The functioning brain cell race between the much-concussed Lindros and Hudson's former husband, Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes? The fact that Kate starred in "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and Eric starred in "How to Lose a Cup in Four Games?"

Oh, the possibilities ... thanks to Wrap Around Curl for the tip.

UPDATE (5 p.m. EDT): As mentioned in the comments, Canada's answer to Perez Hilton, Zack Taylor, reports on Hot or Not Gossip that these two crazy kids aren't, in fact, dating. Chubby Perez or Canadian Perez ... who do you trust?

Kate and Eric are JUST friends. Their families have known each other for 15 - 20 years and they both have cottages around the corner from each other. Eric is seeing somebody else, and him and Kate have always been close friends for years and years. Nothing is going on, other than them bumping into each other up North.

    Can Lindros tap that without getting a concussion? Go Lindros, Hudson is hot as hell.

    Six degrees - Kate's dad (or whatever) is Kurt Russell who played Herb Brooks who coached Scott Stevens who knocked Lindros the [radio edit] out.

    the beauty of rekindling his relationship with hudson from lindros' perspective is that, thanks to his marshmallow head, it's like dating her for the first time.

    Kate Hudson's acting could be classified as 'Legion of Doom' heinous.

    @ Grateful Deadmarsh --
    She was the poop in Almost Famous, and I have to admit a certain joy the scene in "How To Lose a Guy" brought me when McConaghey is trying to have the poker game.

    I have never found her attractive - but her mother, who I saw in the flesh in Hong Kong years back, still attractive in her early 70s. How many guys has she had since she left that frontman hairy guy from the woeful Black Crowes? Did you know her dad was in the Hudson Brothers? Remember that goofy summer replacement show they had in the 70s - better than all her movies combined outside of Almost Famous - always good for a spin. Does Lindros still wear a helmet to protective that sensitive skull of his? I used to see kids on the bus like that when I was younger. They were nice kids.

    @oscilate- thank you for sharing your disturbing sexual preferences with us. Out of curiosity, is her mom that stripper that came out of retirement in her 70s?
