Claude Giroux needed to count to ten (in French) before throwing this hit in last night’s loss to New Jersey: What do you think – Shanabanned? I would not be surprised. Zubris has long since passed the puck and G seems to wait until after the shoulder hit is available, then go straight for his […]
Lindsay tried to warn Chuck about this last night – I’m surprised Chuck didn’t lock me out of here today! It’s not that serious, but I’ve got a recurring problem: every time I hear the Rascal Flatts song “Banjo,” I get really excited and start rocking out in my car. It’s a good 30 seconds […]
It wasn’t quite 3 AM, but close… When John Carlson scores a goal, I get irrationally happy. When that goal is assisted by Karl Alzner, I yell, “Apples to Apples!” and jump around the room. Can we get this guy a clear mouth guard? Sadly iCarly’s goal was not enough as the Caps lost an epic triple-overtime […]
Paulina Gretzky did male hockey fans a favor by getting frisky all over Instagram this week. If you heard DC’s Elliot in the Morning today, it was a gem. But it’s a little unfair, don’t you think? They get bikinis and we get beards? Ladies, don’t worry. Sweden never lets us down. No really, they […]
WHEW! With a must-watch hockey game every night, how is everyone doing? I’m skipping the gym and am way behind on Game of Thrones. Poor Chuck is trying to graduate from grad school! We must remember to revel in it now because when it’s over, it’s over. Then you can get a tan, learn […]
The Blame Mike Green Train has left the station with all NBC announcers aboard. I hope it derails (off a bridge) and only Liam McHugh’s career survives. Mike had a rough day Saturday. He was -2 with no points and only 1 shot. He fanned on a couple of power play set-ups from the point. […]
Happy 24th birthday, Tazer! Captain Fill-in-the-Blank, fearless leader of the Chicago Blackhawks, is celebrating a birthday. Do you think he eats cake? I think he does today. A whole cake, in front of the TV, yelling at the Flyers/Devils game sounds about right. I might do the same – you know, in solidarity. Then we […]
It’s astonishing that we’ve never Foxy Friday-ed Zach Parise before. He is the epitome of what your mother hopes you bring home someday – handsome, talented, and he can read. Seriously, he does charity work for the NJ library system. To dislike Zach Parise is to hate reading, and your mother would be very disappointed. […]
I wish you guys could have seen me last night. In a bar with twelve tables, eleven were filled with Bruins fans. My dad and I, in my Backstrom shirt, were at the other. The waiter didn’t bother to ask, he just kept the beers coming. When Joel Ward scored, I jumped out of my […]
For a few days after something bad happens, you don’t want to be cheered up. You want to drown in a cocktail shaker or eat an entire wedding cake. If you’re me, you picked a bright orange heavy bag and kickboxed the crap out of it a la Captain America. Then life goes on. Other […]
I was at the Universal Studios Orlando theme park today and in the Dr. Seuss store, I found this: Coincidence? Or the only explanation for this: Mike scored a goal yesterday, for the first time since October 22. I yelled something inappropriate while watching the game with my dad. He just laughed. It didn’t matter […]
Chuck and I are not talking about the Bruins/Caps series. At all. It’s actually working out, as we restrict ourselves to screaming at televisions and telling our problems to bartenders, strangers and anyone unlucky enough to gchat us. I have discovered a hatred for the Bruins that I never knew existed, and I can only […]
If I were ever on a sinking ship, I’d want to look across the deck and see Jonathan Toews in charge of the lifeboats because you know everyone is getting to safety in a single file line holding their toothbrush and enough money to call home. I do go on about Tazer, particularly the game […]
Now something to make you laugh – best email of the day. I might as well go home.
At Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon in Austin, TX, every Sunday night they play Chicken Sh*t Bingo. It’s exactly what it sounds like – feed a chicken, turn it loose on a tabletop bingo board and wherever it takes a crap, that number goes on the board. I’m pretty sure this is also how the NHL […]
Remember when Harry Potter got so angry at Dudley that he made the glass disappear and unleashed a snake into a room full of kids? I wanted to disapparate the glass in the Verizon Center last night and let the fans go berserk. I have never been so worked up at a game. As the […]
That moment when the Washington Capitals my most consistent team… … and running hard like they really belong in this race. The Bruins and Capitals have played 144 minutes of hockey and scored a combined four goals. The Flyers/Penguins are averaging four goals per period in their series. Needless to say I’m a bit high […]
I’m not quite sure what to say about today’s Penguins/Flyers game and I re-wrote this post three times (while trying not to throw up). This game was an implosion – a disgusting, dirty, insulting excuse for a game the Penguins lost fair and square. First off, the score. Can ANYONE be bothered to cover Danny […]
It’s getting hot in here, and Brendan Shanahan’s phone was ringing off the hook yesterday. Three players face disciplinary hearings for offenses committed during Saturday’s run of show… 1. Carl Hagelin Former Foxy Friday and Ryan Gosling stun- double Carl Hagelin is not known for throwing elbows and getting dirrrty. But the playoffs make people […]
I was beginning to think I was me. When the Pens, Caps and Hawks all went down 0-1 in their playoff series, I wondered if I might be cursed. Then Friday’s debacle in Pittsburgh had me panicking – should I sit on the couch or the floor? But I did that last time! Jersey or […]
