Labor Day is “dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers,” according to the US Government. To celebrate manual labor and capitalism, some of us have signed up for this: Mike and Nicky and Brooks? Oh my. And playgrounds don’t have lockouts so this is really the best Plan B: Bonus in the […]
Suddenly there is a deluge of proof that hockey players believe this season will happen. Every time a bell rings, Intern Jeff Skinner does a squat. Oh wait, everyone does squats. It’s a Foxy Friday party in the gym. Video: Intern Jeff Skinner has great legs (bonus: James Neal) This is my serious face. There’s […]
If there are two people I like more in hockey… well, there aren’t. Tell me again why Cabbie doesn’t host the NHL Awards? Or even present? Oh Steven.
Maybe I got a little too excited about Stamkos yesterday, because Camp Biosteel’s Day 2 video is the Tyler Seguin Show. For the record, I’m not complaining. But where is Marshall? I was promised a puppy. Oh jeez. Okay. Fair trade. Stop. I surrender. Sorry to Segs, but he’s not the true highlight of this […]
I’ve been sitting here for 15 minutes trying to think a safe-for-work way to describe this. The best I could do is a photo play-by-play of me, earlier today. Enjoy. Someone posts that a Camp Biosteel video is up: The video opens with Steven Stamkos doing something so extraordinary that it can only be described […]
Where is Intern Jeff Skinner right now? At Biosteel Camp slacking off when he should be forwarding our collective resume for this job? Talented, witty, personable with a communications degree… sounds like some people around here. (I left off the part about the criminal background check, which probably include a Google search and then ZIP, […]
On Saturday afternoon, NHL Network replayed the Caps’ triple-OT loss to the Rangers in Game 3 of last season’s playoffs. I turned it on halfway through the third period… and proceeded to watch over 60 minutes of hockey knowing a) nothing happens and b) when something finally does, it’s horrible. That’s how much I miss […]
Be honest. At least once a week you look in the mirror and think about washing your hair. It kind of needs it. Like 60%. You waver for a moment, then say forget it. Because if James Neal doesn’t do it, you can go one more day. Today is that day. Someone pointed out last […]
This post is from Pants, not Chuck. That is nothing short of a miracle – a miracle that involves a hot guy baby-talking his puppy. Damn it, Tyler Seguin! That was my last line of defense. Video: Tyler Seguin and his puppy ruin your life. If you’re still alive after that, how about being jealous […]
Intern Jeff Skinner here. Jeez, I thought it was tough to get a word in during the regular season. If Landeskog could keep his shirt on, maybe we’d have some bandwidth left! Ahem, as I was trying to say… I signed a $34.35 million, 6-year contract. Not that anybody cares, because Crosby is doing something […]
Mother of all that is NSFW. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. If you can’t say something that wouldn’t make Horward Stern blush, good luck writing a blog post that includes Sidney Crosby’s new SportChek workout campaign. It should cost $5.99 a minute to hear what I’m thinking right now. […]
Happy Canada Day! Oh, wait. Merry Christmas! No, that’s not it either. Happy 25th birthday to the Crosbot! Yeah, that’s the one. You either love Sidney Crosby, or you hate him. Which is fine because I love him enough for everyone. Sure, sometimes I want to smack him and say, “Stop being such a brat!” […]
Last year was tough for the Carolina Hurricanes. EStaal was minus-257 (ish) on the season. Intern Jeff Skinner had a concussion and was limited to 20 goals. Cam Ward’s save percentage was 36th among goalies (down from 17th the year before). They picked up a little after getting a new coach in Kirk Muller, but […]
Guest post time! (And Pants fixed her broken photos, sorry.) Hi, I’m Jess! You may remember me from such WUYS guest appearances such as Up Close and Personal and Our Friends Party With the NHL. Pants and Chuck have once again let me take over their blog so that I can drop a little ‘Hawks fandom on y’all. My […]
So your team didn’t get Parise, Suter, Nash, Weber or any of the other u/r free agents rolling around in their money this summer. It’s not over yet. Bobby Ryan still needs a home. from thisyearisouryear.tumblr.com If you haven’t heard a rumor about B-Ry being traded to your team, then you’re the only one. Red […]
If you don’t follow @alexsemin, then I don’t know what you spend your time laughing at. And you missed the goobye haikus composed for his former Caps teammates, coaches, broadcasters and foes. My favorite: In my mind, the only thing Sasha Fierce ever did right: Based on this photo of Mike, taken last week and trolled […]
ACK! Chuck and I have been so busy at our real jobs that we’re late in posting some of the very best stuff I’ve ever seen from a hockey summer. Let’s start with the most important thing. I posted a photo of this, but that is not even close to the proper pedestal on which […]
How I feel right now. And from my good side: Too bad my hair doesn’t look like this. Wahwaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I’m almost sorry we gave Mikey the Mondays because sometimes they are so exhausting. And I am not even remotely adorable or hedgehog-y when feeling wiped out. You know what helps? (I didn’t even have to […]
Marc-Andre Fleury was handsomely married to his longtime girlfriend Veronique on Saturday. We bring you highlights from the Red Carpet Show, with your host Sidney Crosby. Sid: This is Captain Tiny Pockets, reporting live from… wait, what is that? Neal, Tanger, are you seeing what I see? James: Uhhhhhhhuh. Kris: Busy checking out #18 there, […]
We will have some firsthand (sadly not my hands) reports from the Blackhawks Convention going on right now in Chicago. Unless this photo causes the end of the interwebs. Oh yeah. It was nice knowing you.
