The NHL wants to make up for the lockout, draw casual fans back into hockey and perhaps attract some new ones in a less turbulent year, because we’re still really mad at them. Right? Not now, girls. Er, we may be feeling warmer and fuzzier and playoff-ier… Seriously! Hold it together. Then someone says: from […]
We’ve been razzing a lot of “part-time models” around here lately. Maybe I could be a Part Time Reporter? For my real job, I do entertainment PR and was lucky enough to work with Joel Ward and the Caps on a special screening of the new movie 42. Joel wears number 42 in honor of […]
Guess who turns 20 today? Wait, who? Gabe, who has the best eyebrows in hockey? And what does he tell “visitors” who want to stay past curfew? Does that line actually work? How often does he need an excuse? Yeah, we can kinda see it. As de facto stand-in Headmistress of #TeamRNH (until we find […]
Things I love, in order: 1) Mike Green scoring goals. .gif by nhl-highlights.tumblr.com 2) Mike Green’s hair like this. Watch it: Post-Game 4/11 video 3) Mike Green taking himself SO SERIOUSLY. Read it: Russian Machine Never Breaks Of course it’s stupid to say your bad long hair affected your play, Mike! It’s also dumb to say […]
Check out these gorgeous pictures from Carmen Mandato Photography. Large, hi-res versions are on the website along with a few shots of other teams. People have asked if she’ll have prints available for sale. She’s on Facebook too. God, don’t you just love hockey? And wish you had longer eyelashes? And feel relieved that no […]
Gabe Landeskog is featured in McDonald’s presents Time Out in Sports Illustrated, the same one that featured Intern Jeff Skinner a while back. We sent Jeff out of the office before watching this because he gets a little jealous. Jealous of Gabe, I mean. Not our reactions to Gabe, which are mostly me giggling […]
Honestly, sometimes the jokes write themselves. I was going to talk about Danny Briere’s concussion and No Trade Clause, but I typed “No Trade Claude.” Why yes, that’s exactly what I meant. It’s April, the Flyers are last in the Atlantic and I… won’t say anything mean. I still don’t like them and that’s all. […]
As predicted by science, fate and what he looked like to begin with, post-jaw surgery and probably mid-dental work Sidney Crosby looks… Better than anyone you know in real life. This is from the party after the Honor Society show in Pittsburgh last night (says Tumblr – which is how rumors get started). I’d apologize […]
There was a moment in last night’s Caps’ game when Mike Green scored and I yelled, “I love you, you crazy looking hipster!” Now I see this and it’s all OneRepublic in here, “Is it too late to apologiiiiiiiiiize?” Deb (@DLF1021), what would I do without you sending me things? Mike is featured in this […]
You’ve all seen what happened in the Penguins/Islanders game on Saturday. I feel obligated to talk about it, so you know I’m not weeping in a ditch. It started out so well. We were all distracted by shiny things: Then 87 seconds in, Sid got a friendly-fire puck to the face. Yes, 87 seconds. Fate, you […]
This weekend, the artist formerly known as GAME OVER changed his name to GAME TIED. And that’s okay with us. How I looked Saturday night, only with a scream of joy. On Saturday, after hitting the post earlier in the game, Mike banked one in behind Jhonas Enroth to tie the game with 42 seconds […]
Last time we put Foxy Friday up for popular vote, Sam Gagner stuffed the ballot box from ten Twitter accounts. Or maybe you guys get jealous that we’re all #TeamEbs when we could be sharing the love. The Oilers beat the Blue Jackets 6-4 last night. Sam had 1 G/2A and his 250th NHL point, […]
MEMO FROM CHUCK’S DESK Oh what fresh HELL is this! The last 12 hours have been a roller coaster of emotions. First, the drama of the Bruins/Candiens game. Never ceases to amaze me how these games can take me to the height of joy down to the bitter pit of despair so many time in […]
If this little girl could read, I’d swear she was reading our Tweets from last night: It was a big game for #TeamEbs and the reunited Kid Line in St. Louis! Jordan had two beautiful goals. He almost scored his first NHL hat trick on a breakaway, but he and Taylor heard @amandalitty was […]
Last night, Mike and the Caps really wanted you to tag your Tweets. I don’t think “I miss hedgehog, fidgety, Jersey Shore-style Mike Green but at least this guy has a manicure. *P #CapsNYR” is what they were after. They could have gone with #CutYourHair or #DontYouMissWhenIWasHot or… I’ll stop. Mike did have a goal […]
Sundays should be easy. Could someone please inform my hockey teams? Penguins 2, Flyers 1 – OT The past two seasons, the Flyers have ended big win streaks for the Pens. Not last night!! It took a while, until Crosby PPGed so hard he almost fell over. He is a little back-heavy, after all. .gif by […]
You may recall I once insisted Bauer was falsely advertising their “base layer” collection by featuring all hockey players and no underwear. They didn’t quite hear me, but they may have understood some of my International Sign language. That’s right. My hair-tossing and reasonable facsimile of the Kid N’ Play dance meant please do […]
When someone talks to me about Steven Stamkos scoring goals: And Stammer never lets a girl down. Last night he scored his 200th career goal in the Lightning win over the Flyers. Bonus yay. Alone in my car with Game Center Live radio playing on my phone, I yelled, “Hey girl, I’m Steven Stamkos!” Not […]
Good news – Mike is traveling with the Caps! He went to Carolina & Boston, and will make the four game trip that starts today. No word on when Bubble Boy might play, but at least he’s around for photos. From Ovi’s Twitter: I love these dorks, though I don’t understand what they’re so happy […]
Celebrate with this ridiculous goal Patrick Kane scored in the Hawks 8-1 win against the Dallas Stars last night. Are you kidding me?! You know somewhere in Siberia, Peggy’s pissed he didn’t ask Kaner how he scores from the right side.
