Kris Letang will face a hearing with the NHL Dept of Player Safety today regarding his hit on Alex Burmistrov in the third period of last night’s game against Winnipeg [link]. He received a minor penalty for boarding on the play. If suspended, it would likely begin (and hopefully end) with tonight’s game in Minnesota. I […]
It’s a really slow day and this picture has been lurking around my inbox forever. Dawn sent it, presumably trying to impress us with Ovi’s shorts. Or because he’s wearing a Coach’s Corner t-shirt. But all I see is this. Am I wrong? There’s this: And this. I could go on all day. Mike has […]
Welcome to another edition of “What’s James Neal Doing today?” here at JamesNeal.com. Oh, right. Thanks to Dawn & Chuck for sharing the love to other teams. He’ll have a new highlight reel soon, but in this Stars reel you can see why Headmaster Shero was all about getting Nealer on board in the ‘Burgh. […]
Gator FTW! She just sent me this – trolling the internet for pictures of iCarly when she should be working. Wonder who she learned that from? Capitol File – Washington Capitals Model Fall Fashions Here’s the link to short player profiles and a link to the video. Knuble’s vest and Hendy’s rolled-up sleeves are my […]
This one’s for Lindsay and Carter, for no reason other than it’s Friday. And they got pretty excited last night. Something about “holding five puppies.” Only kidding. But that’s a pretty epic derpface. Jonathan, however, is not amused by my mockery. He’s very busy wearing the shit out of that shirt. And this one:
Sam Kasan’s reports from Penguins practices are daily gold and you should never miss them. But today, it’s truly special [link]. In honor of Crosby being cleared for contact, he dedicates Weezer’s cover of Britney’s “(Hit Me) Baby… One More Time.” (Warning: it sounds a lot like the time I sang it, in costume, at […]
Please take a moment to enjoy the titles of NHL.com’s highlight reel from last night’s Penguins/Capitals game. Intentional or unintentional innuendo hilarity? Since I’m sure you all heard me screaming, you know the Nealmobile scored two goals. The second on request – I literally said, “Please score!” and he did. Immediately. I like a man […]
Real or not real? Sidney Crosby cleared for full contact. I have tears in my eyes. Intern Jeff Skinner is wearing frequency-cancelling headphones but can still hear the screaming. My birthday continues unabated. I’m wearing my Pens socks and had my Pens hat on this morning, but I should have just gone for the full jersey […]
Last night before the Pens home opener, look who got interviewed? My birthday indeed. The Nealmobile also had a goal, along with Dupuis, Cooke and Park in the Pens 4-1 win over Florida. Tanger had another assist and leads the NHL in both points (6) and assists (5). And hair. Flower leads the League with […]
Happy 26th Birthday, Mike Green! People born between October 11 & 12 are especially awesome, wouldn’t you agree? We should get today off work in DC, since we had to work Columbus Day. Alleged discovery of North American continent? Who cares. Obvious location of Mike Green World Domination HQ? Approved. We could post the Cribs […]
Thanks for the birthday wishes and to Chuck for the birthday, er… show. Another great birthday show was was last night at the Capitals/Lightning game! Points for all – except the big names. Each team had 10 players on the score sheet, without contributions from Ovi, Backstrom, Green, Semin (until the shootout), Stamkos, St. Louis […]
Is that a good enough reason to post? Gator says she can’t learn more about hockey if that’s all I ever talk about. So the Nealmobile is helping me out – while he did in fact cut his hair, he is also playing like a BEAST so I can demonstrate the importance of statistics. He’s […]
Gator and I had the best time ever at the Caps Home Opener on Saturday. First of all, the warm-up skate. Mike Green, no helmet, cruising around like the Fresh Prince in Summertime – “Two miles an hour so everybody sees you.” Yes, he’s fresh from the barber shop and basketball courts in the summer […]
… Did the sky fall? I know what you’re thinking – there’s some kind of Upstate NY voodoo hypnosis going on or Kaner figured out how to roofie via Twitter. But I’m going to go ahead and say it: Damn, Patrick. Best use of off-season. Kaner had wrist surgery in July and is back on […]
You knew it was coming. Captain Serious cannot be outdone in any category (especially his own category) – he was just saving the best for last. Taking a (really too obvious but keep doing squats and we don’t care) page from 24/7, Blackhawks TV once again brings you the best hockey programming around. Carter, Lindsay and […]
Dawn isn’t Asian.
NEALMOBILE for the first goal of the Penguins season! Get it, baby. It’s going to be a great year. Stop, you can’t even! James Neal is trending WORLDWIDE. How many Tweets did I write?!?!
As the new season kicks off, there will be no shortage of times we say BEST. THING. EVER. So I’m making it a category, in case you want to keep track of the little things that don’t require much except a moment to appreciate their tiny spectacularity (yes, I’m making up words too). Random Favorite […]
I don’t think other drivers on the road this morning appreciated how excited I am. There were some strange looks while I shouted along to Ke$ha: “Go insane, go insane, throw some glitter, make it rain!” Club Nealmobile, people. Get used to it! Today’s schedule is light, but lets me to get to the gym […]
It’s time to predict the eventual winners for the 2011-2012 season, so we can look smart and important when spring rolls around. Or not. Last year we all picked some combo of the Caps, Blackhawks, Canucks and Penguins [link]. That 25% result is less than the chance that Intern Jeff Skinner’s going to take you […]
