This Foxy Friday is presented by democracy. First I asked Twitter to nominate candidates. Then I picked a guy who only got one vote and declared him the winner anyway, because he’s from my home state and he plays for my team. Is it Nepotism? No. It’s America. Brandon Sutter had a good week. He […]
I’m sorry this happened against Chuck’s Bruins, but there is nothing better than a joyous hockey hug. Bonus Neal’s face. Sid looks the same. I also looked that way, silently freaking out in a hotel lobby. Update (thanks Alison): Action hug gif. I love that Crosby is this happy for his guys – especially a […]
I have used every Mike Green photo on Google/Tumblr and I’m feeling really pouty. So I went to Bing to hunt for a new photo so I could post something – anything! – here for Mikey Monday, like a candle kept burning in the window of a house waiting for someone to come home. See? […]
The Penguins have won 5 games straight. In that span: They won four 1-goal games, including 1 OT and 1 shootout. Chris Kunitz has 8 goals… three of them on Pittsburgh Penguins Sock Monkey Night, creating officially the most adorable hat trick in NHL history. Asked how he felt about seeing sock monkeys on […]
We should get paid to test the critical mass of Twitter’s servers because when things like this happen, we do it for free. Jonathan Toews in today’s SPLASH Magazine from the Chicago Sun-Times. Is he in the shower? What kind of newspaper insert is this? It’s like the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog you have to be 18 […]
Sweetie, your prom date is here. You’re dad’s thinking, “Whew. My daughter’s safe with this dork.” Sorry to be late – the Penguins annual Skates & Plates benefit was a few days ago. You know, the one where they get dressed up and try not to drop food on themselves, people, the floor give us […]
Knowing that Stamkos, Neal and Tavares are friends off the ice, the imaginary chirping that goes on in my head over the NHL goal scoring leaderboard is tremendous. For anyone who’s ever enjoyed NFL QBs Talkin’ on Facebook, I bring you this. Stammer – I’ve got 17 goals in 23 games. How you guys doing […]
Last night the Flyers and Sabres each played their 24th games, marking the halfway point of the 2013 regular season. The rest of the teams will cross that number shortly. Can you believe it’s halfway over? After missing hockey for so long, this season has run me over like a truck. During the lockout I […]
Mike’s hurt again. Or he was never really better. He missed three games in late February after aggravating last season’s groin injury, then came back for two matches. All was not well – he did not practice Friday or make the weekend trip to Winnipeg for the Caps’ 3-0 win on Saturday. Perhaps afraid this look would […]
Everyone says do-overs don’t count, but that’s only when you’re calling your ex-boyfriend for a date to the wedding of a girl you hate. Here at #TeamEbs Campaign Headquarters, it’s Friday and this is Foxy, so enjoy our new recruiting video. Don’t be shy, just bask in it. This is the same gym Mike […]
Today, we have a new lunchtime poll. Don’t be jealous of our shoulderpads. Where is the line between sass and being an ass when it comes to a team’s official Twitter account? From last night’s game You all know that during last year’s playoff run, the Kings Twitter feed was better than a lot of […]
“Suite & Tie” has not grown on me the way “SexyBack” did, where I decided it was the best song since “Bye Bye Bye” and played it ten thousand times. That’s about to change. While I’m bringing back 2006 dance jams, can I resurrect SWAG for a second? (Then kill it again immediately?) What I really need […]
How can a hockey game be better than a hockey game? When there’s tailgating. Us on a nicer day (next time). The fantastic folks of @Section328 invited me and my friends to their pre-game party on our Raleigh Road Trip. Rainy, cold weather could not stop them from setting up the tent and busting out the Chicken […]
Is everyone up in Edmonton drunk? Or do they come up with (and execute) ideas like this while sober? Either way, I think Edmonton is my heart’s true home. “Oilers Got Talent” has the boys demonstrating some questionable skills that, to be honest, are about what we’d have to offer any pageant that wasn’t an […]
This news is a little old, but I was waiting for Toews’ black eye to look like guyliner before I posted a photo of him. It’s so late-90’s Rob Thomas, if y’all were even alive back then. Tazer got the shiner, of course, fighting Chuck’s LT boyfriend Joe Thornton on Friday. I looked up from […]
Flyers vs. Penguins tonight! And that is why Wednesday is called Hump Day. I’ve got work(ing out) to do. Enjoy the game!
This really isn’t funny. When we hire interns, we expect them to work. When I drive all the way to Raleigh for the Bolts vs. Canes game on Saturday, 2/23, I expect Intern Jeff Skinner to play. Jeff is out of the Canes lineup with an undisclosed “upper body injury.” Don’t look at us like […]
There is nothing funny to say today. I’m the one person who hates ‘Groundhog Day.’ Mike Green is hurt. A “lower body injury” kept him out of last night’s 2-1 loss to the New York Rangers. It likely happened late in the Valentine’s Day victory over the Tampa Bay. By then I’d already eaten […]
It appears to be Friday again, or as it’s becoming known around this office: “Underage Boyfriend Day.” Foxy Friday: Erik Gudbranson My, how big your hands are… Erik is a 21-year old defenseman for the Floria Panthers. (I accidentally typed 12-year old defenseman. My brain loves Damn You, Autocorrect!) I think he should also be […]
Last Valentine’s Day, we brought you a crash course in finding the perfect date. This year, Chuck is rewriting her Match.com profile and under “What You’re Looking For,” she’s including this: Hey, they said be specific. So for another round of the Hallmark Holiday, we’re talking about What a Girl Wants – NHL Edition. Get […]
