All the World’s a Stage

I got home and flipped on the TV last night and this was on.  There may have been shrieking. Tavares shows Roenick around the ice – NBC Sports Network (If you’re in Canada, enjoy this budget version filmed off my TV, complete with crickets singing outside.) I can promise you this will go on all […]

Friends in Low Places

There are two kinds of people in my life.  People who understand why this: Makes me: And people who don’t.  The first type understands what this means, even if they prefer a different jersey. They understand how I can love someone: While at the same time wishing to crush their lifelong hopes and dreams. They […]

The Day Has Come

Thanks to everyone who sent this to me while I was at the county fair last night. My reaction noise definitely startled some livestock. James Neal appears to have extended his tattoo to a full sleeve. All together now… “UGH.” Okay, that was just me.  And what I really said was, “CoughMikeGreencough.” I don’t hate it […]

Let’s Talk About…

I wish you guys could have been in my living room while I was watching this.   It’s only pre-season and Mr. Pants’ attempts to get attention over hockey have reached new heights.  He immediately started blasting music and dancing.  When that didn’t work, he went into the kitchen and started doing the dishes. Desperation […]

That’s a Lot of Cows

This is from the dark and horrible days of the lockout, but I bring it to you now for one reason: When John Tavares does something right, scores a goal and/or tucks in his shirt (so, every day), I’m going to say, “That’s a lot of cows.” #thatslotofcows   He doesn’t say “yeah,” he says […]

The Guy Can’t Help It

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha.  I’m crying. The internet is KILLING it today!  Hank directs a Head & Shoulders commercial and finds that if you want something done PERFECTLY you have to do it your own perfect Swedish self.   Between the slow motion and the leather jacket, we are a mustache away from a Mangum PI remake.  Starring […]

Take This Job and…

Suddenly this morning, I am considering a new career. In videography.  What, you thought I meant physical therapy? The idea being to fix something so your patient never needs to return?  Oh no. Videography is much easier.  I’ll just light and zoom and let James and his tattoos do all the work for me.   […]

Mikey Monday: We’re Back

Oh Monday.  It’s been a while since I was so excited to see your face. And by your face, I mean Mike Green’s. The Capitals Convention was this weekend, so Mike’s friends are along to make your Monday better.  I had a hot date with Deb (@DLF1021) and Pam (@sunnyinNJ) who packed their high-powered cameras. […]

Birthday Boy: John Tavares

Everyone’s favorite hot middle school science teacher and un-ironic wearer of khaki pants turns 23 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN TAVARES! from mistfarer, tagged #boyfriendfilter Yes, 23. Our love for John is not new – he was Foxy Friday back in March 2012 – but we have been a bit, er, cult-ish lately.  He had a big […]

Fashion Island

The NY Islanders are really making a play for prominence both on the ice and in the New York media, all before their 2015 move to Brooklyn. I did not enjoy how close they came in last year’s playoffs vs. the Penguins.  But I do enjoy anyone taking on the the Rangers because, well, I […]

Intern Intervention

Remind a girl – how did we have fun before Twitter? While this picture is funny (and by funny I mean ALARMING and BACK UP, HONEY), the best part comes from our friends at @Section328: Now, now.  I like TSwizzle and have been known to bust into a sing-along at the top of my lungs. […]

Best Thing I’ve Ever Read at 1:49 AM.

It’s 1:49 AM and I’m crying laughing.  Why, you might ask? The best thing I’ve read in ages: Do the John Tavares Workout at Home – Lighthouse Hockey I don’t know which part is best, the warning to not actually do any of these things or the “Extra Work” that includes (and I quote): After completing […]

Interview with a…

Be honest. Henrik Lundqvist is probably a vampire. I read a lot of young adult fiction, which clearly qualifies me as an expert on this topic.  Not just Twilight, but Chuck and I are racing through The Mortal Instruments series and everyone’s saying we need to read Vampire Academy.  My point was proven yesterday when […]

Step Into the Light

Sneaker Ball, the annual charity event that encourages sports to enhance the lives of children, was held last night in DC.  Guess who won an award? The JB (James Brown) Impact Award goes to an athlete who “has demonstrated outstanding involvement in the community and has used sport to positively impact the area….  Through actions […]

Summer’s Almost Gone

I cannot go away for one second!  It’s like Toy Story in here – I go outside and everything suddenly comes to life.  Where to begin? #TeamEbs took over the NHL Instagram account and used the opportunity to make fun of Molly Ringwald. Our favorite boy band also introduced an act at the Canadian Country […]

Bienvenue Danny.

We keep saying #isitOctoberyet?!?! when really, summer has been great.  It allowed me to forget that Danny Briere is now a Montreal Canadien. Don’t get me wrong – this is better (for me) than Danny Briere being a Flyer.  Even if it gave him a sad and that hurt my heart.  I could get used […]

Birthday Boy – James Neal

Happy 26th birthday, Nealmobile! When you came to the Penguins, we hardly knew you.  Since then, well, we hope you like this website dedicated mostly to your existence.   Think of it as a place to remember that getting older is a) inevitable and b) really working for you. To celebrate, we share with everyone: […]

Team Canada – Casting Call 2

Summer is over(-ish) and it’s time for Steven Stamkos to put away his white pants.  None of these fashion faux pas on reality TV, boys. As the NHL season nears, players will fight for their teams and for spots on the 2014 Olympic roster.  And, of course, for a rose on our show. First rule […]

On Pants

I can’t dedicate the required time to Team Canada without taking it as a paid job, but I can spend three minutes on this. Remember the show Lost?  All that time on a deserted island, living off leaves and opening random hatches while everyone’s eyebrows stayed plucked?  The magic of television is everywhere, folks. Don’t […]

Team Canada – Recess

There is video from yesterday’s Team Canada ball hockey game. The players all look so happy – almost as happy as I would be if this were a t-shirt shop and I had a bag full of Canadian money.  Collect all 48! There are moments when, as part of the unfreezing process, you have no […]
