Word on the street is Mike Green may be back in the Caps lineup next week [link]. That could put him on the ice vs. Pittsburgh (Jan 11) and Tampa Bay (Jan 13). Gator is out of town and I need a date for both games – no, Mike doesn’t count. Not if he’s playing. […]
Tonight’s the night, and it’s not Santa coming to town. Jaromir Jagr will bring his orange sweater to Pittsburgh for the first time. Jagr played 11 seasons with the Penguins before being traded to the Capitals, then the Rangers. After the ’08 season, he returned to the Czech Republic and played three years in their […]
The Lightning beat the Flyers 5-1 last night, which means you’ll get to see Stammer’s flowing locks again on 24/7 next week. Oh, and his two sick goals. Tampa Bay is still struggling below .500 and near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, but it’s always fun to beat Philly. Stamkos post-game interview [link] – […]
Somebody check on Chuck and Cassy because the second episode of NHL 36 is going to profile none other than Patrice Bergeron. NEW YORK – The National Hockey League (NHL®) and NHL Original Productions today announced Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron as the next NHL player to be profiled in the all-access series NHL 36. Air date: Wednesday, Jan. 4, […]
While I was not posting on Monday, the Washington Post was doing it for me. Gator didn’t even snicker at the headline. I did. You can read here about Mike’s Accelerated Recovery Performance treatment for his injured groin. I’ve had this on my shoulder – it’s an odd sensation, like your muscle is twitching consistently […]
How was everyone’s Christmas? We couldn’t post this last week or it would have spoiled the surprised that we bought Jonathan Toews a lifetime supply of those red shirts for Christmas. Now that presents are open and you’re either home with your crazy family or at work with nothing to do, enjoy Joey the Junior […]
Merry Christmas Eve! Rudolph had the night off to carbo load but the Boston Bruins scored one goal for each of Santa’s other reindeer. That’s right, the Bruins scored 8 goals. The Panthers scored zero. I know Chuck would want you to see this: I cannot recall a prettier goal this season. Marchand had a […]
Pittsburgh’s Deryk Engelland has been suspended 3 games for his hit on Chicago’s Marcus Kruger from Tuesday night. [link] They ruled the hit illegal, plus Kruger was injured (concussion) on the play. The sentence was mitigated by the fact the Engelland has never been fined or suspended before. It’s probably in poor taste (since when […]
I’m way behind and just watched the first two episodes of 24/7. I very nearly had to Foxy Friday every ten seconds of this show. The Universe and tigers and kids in sleds and every word Tortorella says… But we went with Ryan Callahan. Last year I stayed a whole month with NYRFan Stephanie. She […]
Christmas, I love you. You are the perfect excuse for madcap hilarity from NHL teams featuring the only singing on Earth that is confirmed worse than mine (thanks Marian Hossa). Oh my God, it goes on forever! This is the kind of stuff Gator and I come up with during intermissions at Caps games. Get […]
Someone we know once posted this to Facebook: Safe to say that hashtag also applies to: Biebs skated with the Leafs [link] in a track suit because they didn’t have any Youth Medium hockey gear laying around. Look at his pants – I bet they’re rolled at the waist too. Phaneuf is all, “You said Disney princesses! […]
I love this picture so much that I have to post it. It sums up everything about last night and how much fun Gator & I always have at Caps games, especially when they win. Nicky was First Star with a goal and an assist. Ovi scored, Sasha Fierce scored, Troy Brouwer scored. The Mike […]
So… last night the Pens’ Deryk Engelland mowed down Chicago’s Marcus Kruger with a questionably high hit. Personally, I’m going with SHANABANNED for this one. Eggo does sort of leave his feet and he’s definitely above shoulder height. Kruger’s head is down, but it goes down and stay down before Eggo lines him up. Engelland […]
My best friend and I used to debate what kind of accident would be required to get Extreme Home Makeover to choose our apartment in NYC. If she pushed me down the stairs? If I loosened a board so she fell through into the pizza place? You don’t *want* these things to happen, but the […]
It’s Monday again, and still no timetable to Mike Green’s return to the ice. He apparently saw a specialist for his groin injury, depending on who you ask, and joined the Caps in Colorado. He didn’t skate there, but today… Mike has missed 17 straight games – wah waaaaaah. This means that again, there is […]
I don’t know where the last month has gone and I have completely neglected to put up this guest post by the lovely Jessica W! Since @amandalitty is going to her first ever NHL game tomorrow – Blackhawks vs. Penguins (way to peak too soon!) – here’s a play-by-play of Jess getting to see her beloved […]
New Jersey’s own Bobby “Silver” Ryan is a gem. He could be Foxy Friday based solely on his Tweets or on this photo alone. But no, Bobby has both. We never stood a chance. There were 1.2 billion trade rumors about Bobby earlier this season, but he is staying put in Anaheim. This team has a […]
I missed 24/7 last night because I fell asleep re-watching Fright Night with Colin Farrell. I mean he’s in the movie, he wasn’t with me. And the movie’s great. But I will have to catch up on the Rangers/Flyers this weekend, and from the sound of your Tweets there is plenty worth watching! Another thing […]
Tonight is the premiere of HBO’s 24/7 Flyers/Rangers: Road to the NHL Winter Classic. And since I’ve re-watched Game of Thrones into oblivion, I will be tuning in to get my $10 worth for December. The WUYS crowd won’t be as excited as last season – including me, since I actively hate both of these […]
