Birthday Boy: James Neal

Happy 24th birthday to the Nealmobile!  James Neal is 24 today.  And this season he’s going to score 250 goals alongside Crosby. An exhaustive three minute Google search revealed that James like The Wedding Crashers, vanilla ice cream and music by Dierks Bentley.  I believe that’s playing in my car right now. Hey, this video is […]

Centerfold

My wonderful and kind friend Mer wants you to have a great day.  So she found these.  It’s Friday, and if you’re American there’s no work Monday.  Go ahead and celebrate all the things in life that are fantastic: This should be the backyard of a mental institution, because that’s where Dawn will need to […]

Cute Overload

Yesterday, after a charity hockey game in Russia, Geno did this: Since we don’t have a picture of it, we’ll settle for only-slightly-less adorable pictures of him – this time with animals. I have a special dance lined up for the moment Geno takes the ice this season.  It’s a little bit like the Elaine […]

Hurricane, Not Hockey

Excuse me while I go off-topic for a minute here. You may have seen CNN, Good Morning America or other news coverage of the Upstate NY and Vermont towns devastated or completely destroyed by Hurricane Irene.  My hometown area was one of the worst hit: It’s the mountains, in the country.  We don’t do flooding. […]

Work. It. Out.

I… I, er…. um…  what?  Oh.  Here at Mike Green World Domination HQ, I had two thoughts immediately upon seeing this. 1) Sweet baby Jesus in the manger. 2) Should have saved that HP joke, because it’s better here: I just died so hard I turned Mike Green into a horcrux.  Alas, you know the truth. […]

The New Black

Power at my house could be out till Friday.  If I had anything this orange I wouldn’t need lights. This is hard, and it hurts.  It also looks like the place Harry Potter wakes up half-dead next to fetal horcrux Voldemort.  You can stay there Max, but you can choose to leave.  This doesn’t have to […]

Mikey Monday

Did everyone survive the hurricane okay?  We still don’t have power in Annapolis, so we’re going to have to eat all the food from Mr. Pants’ restaurant for dinner.  Hugs and good vibes for everyone! So we’ve had an earthquake and hurricane in DC this week.  Crazy.  Next the Titanic will resurface and sail into […]

Tweet, Tweet Love

I promise before the season starts, we’ll do a whole list of players and personalities that you guys should be following on Twitter.  Can we take a moment to appreciate the Tweet Beauty of Ryan Whitney?

Foxy Friday: BioSteel Sports Camp

Okay, they earned it. Videos and photos and… thank heaven for this week.  And for Alyonka Larionov (person I am most jealous of in the world!)’s Twitter photos.  Who said something about Seguin wearing the heck out of a suit? Did you ask for a t-shirt? And Stamkos showing off (approved): I obliged Intern Jeff […]

I Can't Take It Anymore

If I ignore this long enough, maybe it will just go away.  It’ll be October and he’ll be out there and everything will be right with the world.  I don’t care if you hate Sid and the Pens or rainbows and cupcakes and money.  You cannot want to see a premiere player out of the […]

Intern Desk: You Want More?

Not enough, eh?   Intern Jeff Skinner here – still working out.  I’ve been working out for DAYS.  Hey Pants, where’s Logan Couture this weekend?  Oh right, hosting golf.   You weren’t invited?  Maybe I’ll send you a ticket to the gun show.  Heck, two tickets and you can sit next to my Calder Trophy. […]

Intern Desk: Field Report

Intern Jeff Skinner here, reporting from the field.  Is there some kind of dictionary for girls?  I cannot understand a word said in the WUYS office since that Kris Letang video.  It’s like an Justin Bieber concert!  Sure, he makes carrying Pants’ purse look waaaaaaay too easy but I am an athlete too.  And I’ve been […]

You guys are gonna DIE.

Four words every girl wants to hear: Will you marry me? Kris Letang workout video. OMGWHAT?!  No big deal, just Kris Letang doing chin-ups with an extra 120 lbs strapped to his hips.  I can’t even talk about the setup.  Dawn’s going to need some First Responder attention, stat. This video makes me want to […]

Mikey Monday: High Five!

ONLY 5 MONDAYS until our first hockey game of the season!!   Gator, Mr. Pants and I bought tickets for the Blue Jackets @ Caps on Monday, Sept 26.  Tickets were $10.  DISCOUNT MONDAY! We will get bananas excited over a half-empty pre-season game.  Deprivation and too much sugar will do that.  We’ll be playoff-style freaking […]

Good Excuse to be a Bad Influence

The BioSteel sports camp is this week in Toronto and Biz Tweeted this photo of his lucky locker room assignment: We suggest you lock up your daughters bloggers. If you’re wondering how Stammer’s off-season project of impersonating Nicky Backstrom is going, here’s an update on his hair and the upcoming season [video]. Happy Monday, kids! […]

Foxy Friday: Derek Roy

It’s tough to be a tall girl. Chuck and I were discussing earlier that when a tall girl needs a date, there are only a plethora of short men around.  It’s like ten thousand spoons, you know? Maybe it’s even tougher to be a short guy.  But it helps to have a professional-athlete level talent… […]

Remote Control

The NHL TV schedules are out [link], and I’m going to have to get the NHL Network this season.  They have too many games I can’t miss. NBC will air (potentially) seven Bruins games, six Penguins games, five Capitals and five Blachawks games, none before US Thanksgiving.  That’s not going to cut it for anyone without […]

Today just needs…

Gator and I are not having a great week in DC, but I think we’d feel better if Nicky were here.  His hugs always work on Mike. In fact, we nominate Nicky for Best Hugs in the WUYS High School Yearbook.  Ovi voting: Up for discussion: trip to Vegas, leaving tomorrow.  Who wants in?

What-To-Do Wednesday

Today is officially the Longest Day Ever.  There is even a trophy. To alleviate boredom, we suggest you follow the Nealmobile on Twitter – @jneal_18.  It’s really the only hope today has to become more exciting. This picture is from the 2010 Dallas Stars calendar.  Someone clearly should have bought this for us.  It looks […]

Caps for the Cup?

The Hockey News has predicted the Washington Capitals will win the 2011-12 Stanley Cup.  We feel Dawn’s hand in this. I admit this wouldn’t make me as sad as it used to.  Once clear of whatever round involves the Penguins, I would cheer for the Caps.  Dawn would visit, and make signs.  Gator and I would cut […]
