#CAMP may be over, but camps are just beginning. Invitees for Team Canada’s Olympic camp were arriving in Calgary all weekend, as documented by this airport employee: Source: Twitter There is a space for volunteers. AND IT IS BLANK. Alas, the enterprise of TSN is not to be underestimated. They were live on the scene […]
#CAMP BioSteel Day 3 has come and gone and I’m still wondering what it is we’re supposed to “figure out.” Then at :46 of this video, I stopped caring. Biz, you can sell me a car anytime. (I prefer the Mazda 3.) And just because I can…
#Camp Video, Day 2. All you need to know is… Damn it, Dallas. Only kidding! Thankyouverymuch, Stars. Also HI JOEL WARD!!! And Hal Gill never ages. Is BioSteel really embalming fluid? Because the man doesn’t look a day over 28 (he’s 38). Okay, have at it. Nealer was interviewed on TSN last night […]
It’s time for the best #CAMP we never went to: Camp BioSteel. Exhibit A: James Neal pulling something heavy, showing off his short hair. The photo’s from this Globe and Mail story about James aiming to impress at Olympic Camp. As in “James might not make the Olympic team.” Don’t even play. The goal of […]
If you put all of my favorite things into one of those lottery machines and gave it a few spins, what are the odds that these four things would fall out? Stamkos #TeamEbs Cabbie Coca-Cola The answer would be zero, but that’s already the name of this campaign. These two will star in the next […]
Sorry it’s been so quiet around here! Chuck has been swamped and I’ve been away for work. Luckily the internet is everywhere, even during the off-season. Last week the Rangers, Devils and Islanders promoted the pair of outdoor games they’ll play at Yankee Stadium in January as part of the NHL’s Stadium Series. Welcome to […]
It’s 8.7 and that can mean only one thing… Happy birthday, Sidney Crosby! Those of us who love Crosby know there are many, many moments of this: And more than a few of this: When Sid is on the ice. But if he wanted us to base our opinions only on this: He shouldn’t have […]
Some weeks are rough. Chuck has worked 60 hours already and it’s not even noon. I’ve had a few days that I could have done without. We’re all mildly panicking because it’s August and we need to wear every dress and pair of open-toed heels before the weather turns. We are not tan enough, haven’t […]
Both Chuck and I are drowning in work today, but over the weekend hockey players were dancing. Emergency post. Remember last year’s Blackhawks Convention, when we thought nothing could ever top this? Phone booth not included. Patrick Kane heard us. And declared shenanigans. Bless this girl who gets up to the mic and asks Toews […]
With a name like @letsgofriday, she should know how to pick a Foxy Friday. And boy did she ever. Foxy Friday: David Rundblad I have never (ever, not once) heard of this guy. That’s pretty rare. So I Googled him and this popped up: First thought: Where has he been all our Fridays?! Second thought: […]
Back on Monday, Steven Stamkos and James Neal played in the RBC Canadian Open. As always, golf is just an excuse to make questionable fashion decisions and work on your aim. Like any good night out. Stammer took this opportunity to wear this: Source: Twitter What is this math?! I see constants – hideous sponsor-required […]
Oh for heaven’s sake. Come home from tropical vacation, depressed about going back to work? Sidney Crosby to the rescue. [Sorry y’all, copyrighted photos from this post were removed by request. You’ll have the survive on screencaps from the CTV interview linked below.] Sid and Brand Marchand took part in the Phoenix Night of Champions […]
Social media dilemma of the day: You have 15 seconds. How best to use it? Correct answer: Gabe Landeskog workout video Push-ups, floor pull-ups, TRX abs and patty cake while wearing an Avalanche shirt sized youth XL. All from a place that is actually called: Meet you guys at the airport. There’s also this video, […]
It started with this: from Geno’s Instagram Well no, our obsession with boys in glasses began long ago. Maybe it was when Chuck and I got our own glasses, or when we realized that we a) are nerds and b) like nerds. Glasses may be more cool than Coke bottle these days, but the allure […]
As promised, Joffrey Lupul is naked in ESPN Magazine: The Body Issue. Saved it from Puck Daddy because they named the file “nakedlupul1.jpg.” His name is still Joffrey, which is unfortunate. I bet he gets chills whenever Arya whispers her list. Here’s a whole gallery of behind the scenes photos from this year’s Body Issue […]
Do you remember the year Ray Bourque left the Bruins for the Avalanche? The next season he won the only Stanley Cup of his incredible career, then retired? It was flag-waving, heart-soaring, Disney-worthy stuff. A Boston sport radio station bought billboards in Denver to wish Ray luck. If you weren’t crying, you were the Devils. […]
The Bruins misunderstood something this week. I didn’t say, “Seguin. Trade.” I said, “Seguin. Cake!” Only because I couldn’t find a cake big enough to put Rick Nash in. Don’t worry, Chuck. We’ll think of something. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Holy Hannah. Every time I refresh Twitter, someone has been given a zillion dollars! Since we have all summer to look at the crazy things NHL teams are doing, let’s start with our own favorites. Ladies and gentlemen, the Pittsburgh Penguins: While I enjoy a gleeful shopping binge every once in a while, the bill […]
What better way to celebrate Canada Day than with the Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks? Since we cannot keep up with these kids, here are ten great photos from the festivities of the last week. Whatever you expected from a Patrick Kane party, you were underestimating. SWEDES, you have passed us!! (photo by @jstefanc) Police barricades […]
Hockey is a taskmaster. It does not care that we’ve put off our lives for the last six months. It has no sympathy for my split ends, ragged cuticles or pile of overdue library books. Hockey doesn’t pause just because Jonathan Toews is on a bender and I want to watch the Blackhawks parade. Patrick […]
