I wish I had more free time, so I could make up stuff like this. The Staal’s different haircuts… genius! You can see/buy them all here: Skreened.com/refusehockey. Can I request a special edition that says INTERN over a brown-haired picture with a 53 on the back?
The Detroit Red Wings set the NHL consecutive home game win record last night with 21 straight, edging out two teams (1929-30 Bruins and1975-76 Fyers) to claim the crown. Detroit also holds the record for consecutive road wins (12) [link]. Well la dee freakin’ dah. The Wings have only 3 home losses this season, the […]
Happy Valentine’s Day, loves! If you haven’t been enjoying the #NHLValentines suggestions on Twitter, we suggest you get cracking. And if you don’t have plans for this evening, we’re offering a WUYS crash course in landing the perfect Valentine for 2012: 1) Find a wingman. 2) Find a cute guy. 3) Ask him out. 4) No, […]
Caps Care Casino Night was Friday, and Mike was there. We were not. Damn. During the auction part of the evening, guests could bid on various high-risk scenarios with their favorite hockey players. Like a Segway Tour with Ovi, Brooks, Knuble and Sasha Fierce, or bowling with Carlzner, Ward and Hendricks. There is a bowling […]
Deb asked us this: And while the answer is technically no (do-overs don’t count, all girls agree), I think it’s okay if Claude Giroux intrudes on someone else’s day of the week. Who’s with me? (Admit it, the dark side has more power!) Now quick, before Chuck changes the password and I lose posting privileges… […]
Well the Blackhawks cannot win a road game and somebody’s feeling feisty. Joey’s jealous because Chuck never made him a Foxy Friday. Jon was rubbing it in, so Ryane Clowe came over to represent. Tazer has two career fights, and he lost them both. He’s a beast but I’m going to say that fighting Jumbo […]
The always-excellent JaspersRink.com today has a translated Swedish interview with Nicky – read it here. He hopes to be ready for the playoffs. That’s two months away. I know he hasn’t skated in forever, isn’t attending home games and even Mike went on vacation without him, but seeing it in print is really bumming me […]
I like to think that if your car breaks down in Canada, you take it to a place like this. Stamkos, Eberle, Phaneuf and Spezza in the new commercial Nike “Clutch” truck commercial. Oh, Eberle. Checking himself out in the hubcap.
In honor of making it halfway through this week, here are five things that I love about today. 1. James Neal’s career-high 28th goal, and there are still 28 games left to play. (Bonus: Awkwardly close-up post-game interview video.) 2. Steven Stamkos has scored against every NHL team [video]. And he got a League-leading 35th […]
I think it’s safe to say you all know how I feel about Steven Stamkos. I don’t run away from just anyone in the street! Well today is Stammer’s 22nd birthday… as if I needed an excuse to gush. He’s handsome. He’s charming. And he has excellent friends. But I digress. Steven also has the […]
On Thursday night, Gator and I went to the Washington Auto Show to meet John Carlson and Brooks Laich. It was more than a little disorganized, but we sweet-talked the right people and ended up getting to hang around their interview filming and then cut the whole line. Unintentionally awesome! Be jealous. They were super […]
It’s a sad time when “Mike Green watching practice from the bench” makes everyone so happy. But at least he’s somewhere! After skating a few days last week and addressing the media, Mike hasn’t skated in three days [link]. According to Twitter (that font of accurate information), Coach Hunter says he’s doing off-ice work and this […]
In the middle of the ASG Skills Competition I looked up and said, “Who the hell is that?” I knew Ryan Gosling was Canadian, but…. It was Carl Hagelin, of course. The 23-year old Swede has 8 goals/10 assists in 31 games for the Rangers this season. He was a late addition to the ASG Rookie […]
Mike Green addressed the media today, after this third consecutive day of skating. [video] This video is Fidget-tastic and Mike’s hair is crazy. He says he’s “on the right path” and hopes to be back before the projected 4-6 week recovery timeline. As much as this excites us, please don’t rush it. It seems like […]
You want it, you got it. Tanger winking at Flower during the love-fest in Toronto. Thanks to xosweetgirl18ox.tumblr.com who created this and Barb (@stoopid4letang) who’s on our Twitter feed and shared! Now if someone comes across the windmill high-five….
Yesterday, Kitkat wanted evidence of Mike Green driving his VW Bus. In his glasses, no less. Safety first! It’s like a week worth of Mikey Mondays so far. When I see a VW bus, I think of Little Miss Sunshine and start yelling “No one gets left behind!” and chasing after it’s running start. I […]
Sid and the Pens held a press conference yesterday to prove that he still looks this good in a suit. Also to clarify the neck injury he was diagnosed with by an LA doctor – it’s a “soft tissue” injury, not broken vertebrae. He was treated in LA with injections to relieve the swelling and […]
Attention ladies: Mike Green’s Shagwagon is a reality. For someone suffering from such a long-term groin injury, we hope Mike’s sticking to road trips for now.
The Blackhawks kick off a nine game road trip in Vancouver tonight and guess who’s back? No big deal. Jonathan Toews suffered an injury to his left wrist on Jan. 21 vs. Nashville, then missed one game and the All-Star Weekend festivities. Maybe he was just worried about getting picked so late again. Patrick Sharp, […]
When Mr. Pants and I boarded our flight in Houston on Saturday, I had NO idea there would be individual TVs on the plane. Then I saw the All-Star Game Skills Competition was on. I may have screamed. One swipe of the AMEX later, I was sitting an inch from the screen with a huge […]
