Does the Tampa Bay Lightning team insurance cover mass heart attack when Steven Stamkos Tweets this picture? My kind of climate crisis. Before the close up, you have to sign a waiver saying it’s not my fault if you pass out, hit your head and prance off into an unconscious remake of Top Gun. Shirtless […]
I’m swamped today, but there’s always time for this! Claude Giroux named Captain of the Flyers Of course, you know that already [Press Release]. Personally I would have gone with Briere (shocking). Can our Flyer fan friends weigh on Claude’s locker room leadership type? It’s certainly good marketing sense to make your highest profile player […]
At the 1:28 mark of this post-practice interview from yesterday, watch how James Neal responds to being reunited on-ice with Malkin. It’s like his first day back at school, seeing that girl he had a crush on last year. In actual hockey news (sigh of relief), it looks like James is going to play the […]
Do you ever get the feeling Mike Green doesn’t want us to like him? 1.12 Post-practice video Only kidding. He shaved his neck beard to show he cares. (Clearly he read our Puck Daddy playoff beard coverage.) It wouldn’t work anyway. If we liked this Mike Green: And this Mike Green: Then Cat Stevens here […]
Speaking of Foxy Friday… PIGLET IS BACK! More than anything so far, this makes me happy. Happy to the point of: After visiting a specialist in Michigan earlier this week, Backstrom says there is no concussion and he’s 100%. We say, “Oh yes, you are.” Watch the whole video, because you’ve missed Nicky so: Backstrom addresses […]
On January 6, pretty much every team posted the standard NHL announcement on the end of the lockout. Doubtless the human beings at the other end of those Twitter accounts were doing backflips and splits like the rest of us, but officially they had to toe the line. Here’s what the players said. These guys […]
“… to do with my selection.” – Sir Mix-a-Lot, Baby Got Back JEEZ. I go away and hockey throws a party like the Project X kids and burns down the whole neighborhood! First things first – this Cosmopolitan list of the Hottest NHL players. Hahahahaha! Watching Grey’s Anatomy does not make me a doctor, so let’s not […]
There is only one way to describe how I feel right now. I’m on my way to NYC for a three day vacation and let me tell you, the NHL Store better have Eberle shirts! I am coming for you! I love you guys. I love Sid & Tazer, Mikey & Nicky, I even love […]
Welcome to the Land of Nothing Left to Talk About, where I dredge the internet for blog topics. Today, I got a kick out of these: From GongshowGear.com First of all, who researches these pants? Do they go around measuring hockey players? Or better yet, is there a back room and one of those tailor […]
On Thursday, 12/27 Taylor Hall scored a hat trick. Exciting, right? Almost as exciting as Ebs’ NYE hat trick – 3 goals in 3 minutes! Showoff. [Post-Game Interview] #TeamEbs Not to be outdone, Molly Ringwald leads the entire World Junior tournament with 11 points in 4 games. Team Canada will face Team USA in […]
Dear 2013, Please don’t let us down. Love, Pants, Chuck and everyone who feels like the kids in this photo Crosby plays in Cole Harbor charity game [link] Have a safe and happy holiday, everyone!
Oh holiday season, with your feelings of family and togetherness. There have been babies everywhere lately – my Thanksgiving, Christmas, office. And my Twitter feed: Too much? Not enough? Keep scrolling for more cute. Rangers, Flyers… it’s not the kids fault. 😉 Parker Staal has his own Tumblr feed, thankyouverymuch. Madison Quick could be our […]
Whatever you’re doing right now, just stop. It’s ruined. Along with everything else in your life that isn’t this picture or a chocolate-freaking-milkshake into which you drown your feelings about this picture. From The Fourth Period magazine, courtesy of Alison (@alisonsykora) Takeover Day. You know the little girl in the movie Annie who says, “Oh […]
Since we couldn’t attend Canada on Saturday evening, welcome Alison (@alisonsykora) with a guest post! I told myself I didn’t care anymore. The lockout was dragging and NHL hockey was no longer a part of my life. I had accepted it and moved on. Then the RBC Charity Challenge happened. “Mwhahahaha,” said Stamkos. The NHLPA […]
Just in case tomorrow really is the end of the world, it’s been fun. The lockout can’t ruin hockey for me. I decide what I love about it, like the Penguins and Capitals at the same time. Throw in a Flyer while you’re at it. Expansion teams, underage boyfriends, never remembering if the Blackhawks are […]
This is a few days old, but the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. It doesn’t hurt if you’ve got a smile like Flower’s, either. Also doing good work for the holidays – the Blackhawks, helping the Greater Chicago Food Depository [link]. Jon’s getting way too much hand-in-pocket […]
SANTA, YOU LISTENED! Dear sweet Mother of I Don’t Know What I Did to Deserve This but your girl here was apparently on the REALLY REALLY NICE list this year, and Christmas is a little early. I screamed when I saw these. My boss came running and found me face down on my desk pointing […]
In an alternate universe, today is Monday, December 17. The Panthers are playing the Capitals tonight. I’ll be there, meeting Rae and Josie in our usual seats before the pre-game skate with a beer and chicken tenders. It’s a great game: Mike has a hat trick, Nicky has four points, iCarly is under the hood […]
Chuck has lost her mojo. She’s using words like “uninspired” and “can’t muster the enthusiasm” to describe her current state of hockey-related ennui. Well, it’s Ebs’s first-ever pro hat trick to the rescue! In my our his ongoing effort to make the whole world #TeamEbs, Jordan scored 4 goals and 1 assist on Saturday night. […]
Esbee (@Esbee92) might have the greatest Twitter self-description ever: “I like boys. And hockey. And boys. Did I mention hockey?” She was lovely enough to scan the current issue of The Hockey News for us, after I searched the entire east coast of the United States for a copy. No dice. I know that reading […]
