Made of Hockey

Hello? Anybody home?

sloth

It’s been 131 days since we did a blog post and honestly, it’s all that sloth’s fault. Look how cute he is! Big smile, no thumbs – it’s so hard to type when we’re bursting into Kristen Bell-type tears all day long.

But hockey season is nearly upon us. Sorry sloth, time to get back to work.

And how should we begin? For what did I reset my forgotten password? For this, I say.

Bangs. Scruff. Or something of each sort, Sid-style. Which is more than enough for us.

Right?

Of course right.

These are from Sid’s new CCM commercial for the “Made of Hockey” campaign. See the video on Instagram here. Bonus: voiceover. The sloth doesn’t speak English but he’s purring.

Hmm, maybe it’s a girl sloth.

Tumblr also supplied the breaking news that Sid danced at a wedding:

If there’s something more awkward than Sid dancing, it’s… well, probably every other moment of his life. But we can promise you one thing: the unpictured groom filed a prenup on the day Sid’s RSVP arrived for this wedding. Judging by the photo, that prenup probably wasn’t detailed enough to include the bride’s dress trying to open itself at the back.

We are gearing up for the new season, starting by figuring out who the heck is on our teams now. There will also be blogging. I am even going to Canada tomorrow – really, they are letting me in! It’s for work, but a visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame should give me the appropriate kick in the the shorts. I hear there’s a World Cup of Hockey press event… what’s the exchange rate on bail again?

For now, we say this. And that the Penguins will win the Cup this year. (Chuck’s offline for a few days before she can delete that!)

  5. I was overjoyed that you were back… until I saw Sid. Now I’m just joyed. 😛

  6. Sid dancing, Sid with CCM, Steven’s new haircut, Babs’ love for the Leafs….it’s like we’ve been gone for years! Can’t wait for things to get started with the good ol’ hockey game.

    Welcome back, and welcome to Canada! Looking forward to more pithy commentary on our Pens and a great season ahead!

    P.S. LOVED Marc-Andre and Dan Potash’s re-do of the iconic goalie scene from Slap Shot!!

    Aww Sid looks adorkable

  15. It’ll be a miracle if the Bruins even make it into the playoffs this season. Looks like I’m going to have to find another team to cheer for this season.

    It will NOT be the Pittsburgh Penguins.
