Lord. The Flyers signed Shea Weber to a $110 million, 14-year offer sheet. I’ve only been awake for four hours and I’m already sick of this. In non-140 character speak, he has accepted their offer to be paid like this: The Predators have seven days to match the offer. If they don’t, they’ll get 4 […]
As you may have heard amid all the screaming yesterday, Mike Green has re-signed with the Capitals. Of course it happened on a Monday! He got a three year deal worth $18.25 million. The deal pays him $6 million for the next two seasons and $6.25 million in 2014-15. That is not a typo. You’re […]
“You got your Tony Lama’s on, your jeans pressed tight….” – Jimmy Buffett (Psst. Tony Lama’s are cowboy boots.) Put down your cereal spoon give thanks for Eileen Duong. Not only is she lucky and generous, but she takes a wicked cell phone photo. (All photos with permission, from eileenduong.tumblr.com) Yesterday, Mike turned down the Capitals […]
When we first heard about Smashfest, the Dominic Moore-organized NHL ping pong tournament benefitting concussion research, there was some high-pitched screaming. Are you offering me a comically competitive sport, beer AND Steven Stamkos? All you want is money?! Why Am I Not Canadian? Episode #247 I believe we came up with this idea during a […]
Somewhere in the world, Jonathan Toews is playing golf [link]. It’s July. Work with us on the “news” here. It’s for a good charitable cause too – not just an excuse to dust of the old “Toews Does Squats” category. Okay, it’s arguably not a squat. But who says Captain Wonder Bread is not fun? […]
Oh Brad Richards. Did I fail to realize, in the blinding dazzle of your Foxy Friday teeth, that you are in fact insufferably boring? Am I judging you too harshly (based on this one interview)? Check out Brad’s photo shoot and feature about about posing starkers for ESPN Magazine’s “The Body Issue”… in which he […]
On Friday, I was meeting our friend Matt at Shake Shack in DC for lunch. He called me five minutes before I was due to arrive: “Mike Green is here. Mike Green is here.” Needless to say I ran out of a meeting and hustled up there… only to miss him by about 30 seconds. […]
You want fireworks? The Minnesota Wild celebrated the 4th of July in true American fashion: endeavoring to increase their attractiveness by 100%. Maybe they want to win some games too. Their holiday shopping spree picked up Zach Parise and Ryan Suter in matching (how appropriate) 13-year, $98 million contracts. Well done, America. Twitter was at […]
Who saw Magic Mike this weekend? Oh come on, you were all thinking it. I wouldn’t count on the dance moves, though. You’ve seen how often this Mike falls down. No, really. Oh well. We are sitting, waiting, wishing for news about Mike’s contract. The Capitals made a qualifying offer on his $5 million current […]
Please tell me you know this song: That’s Brad Richards’ song. Depending on the street – is Henrik on the street? And he is, in fact, a part-time model. ESPN Magazine announced this year’s “Body Issue” athletes, and Brad will get starkers for some lucky, probably unappreciative cameraperson. Last year it was Kesler, whom Jess […]
I’ve been asked a few times now if we are the minds behind The Inappropriate Hockey Fan. Oh, how I wish we were. The true evil genius is Pam (@sunnyinnj). Twice I’ve posted hilariously captioned photos without knowing the maker – and both times they turned out to be hers. So follow away on Tumblr. […]
As I’m going to see Dierks Bentley tonight, remember this? It seems like ages since we saw a hockey highlight montage. Or a Thrashers jersey. When Chuck & I win the lottery, we’ll spend our days creating NHL-specific videos for every song on the Official WUYS Office Dance Party Mix. “I just met you… […]
Chuck and I need a brain-cleansing after reading that disturbingly crazy stuff at Crossing Broad. As per usual, Geno to the rescue! What are your shorts? What is your hat? I can’t even come up with a name for the thing around your waist to ask what it might be. The orange trucker hat really […]
I know you’ve gone two weeks without Mikey Monday and frankly, there’s nothing I can do about it. A certain person needs to get cowboy-ed up at Stampede or something (anything!), because I’m sailing off the edge of the internet here. Luckily, reader Emily Miller delivered this just in time for Monday: Remember on “Caps Cribs” when […]
You know those movies where every single thing happens in one day and you’re thinking, “Right, who ever has a day like that?” Then in the middle of this: This happens: The trade was tempered by news on Wednesday that Jordan turned down a 10-year, $60 million deal with the Penguins. He had one year […]
Did everyone enjoy the Nickelback Convention last night? The Awkard Turtle Unfunny Comedy Tour? There were a few bright spots, like Will Arnett. Especially when he shanabanned Ovi for blocking Brooks Laich’s parking spot and sentencing him to ride on the back of Mike Green’s scooter. WHY CAN’T THIS BE REAL LIFE? While peering between […]
Hey, where is everybody? We have run tripped fallen chased followed been invited by Sid to the beach. We’re making some small off-season tweaks around here. Well, we are not actually doing anything – someone fantastically sci-fi is manning the ship (Hi Vince!). Chuck and I are busy wondering if Sid had to wear these shorts out of the store because he […]
Any way it shakes out, this is the last Friday of the 2011-2012 NHL season. We’re almost afraid to choose a Foxy Friday because they keep doing things like scoring OT game-winning goals. (Adam Henrique.) Not that we’re changing the course of the Stanley Cup Final or anything. So, who’s left? We’ve Foxy Friday-ed the […]
Oh, Foxy Friday. You never disappoint. Well, sometimes you disappoint when you shave your goatee into a mustache that means you’re not allowed within 100 feet of a playground. But then, you score the goal that keeps your team’s dream alive: And somehow, magically, in the post-game your ‘stache has is approaching the border between […]
Once, a cat named Lucifer messed with Cinderella. She chased him off with a broom. See what I’m saying? Chuck and I are Red Sox fans, which means leading a playoff series 3-0 is not enough for us. We know miracles can happen. (In case you don’t, in ’04 the Yankees were up 3-0 in […]
