Summer Lovin'

We’ll let Chuck talk about the Finals and all these days in between where there’s no hockey at all.  For some of us, it’s summertime. I don’t know why Jon’s wearing a knee brace, but if it were September I would freak out.  For now, I’ll just point out that I have a matching one […]

The Day Has Come

It’s time for the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals.  At the end, I will no longer be able say “Defending Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks” and I’ll be so sad.  But maybe Chuck will get to say that about the Bruins!!  Is everyone ready? Tyler Seguin’s all: While RK17 is like: And you know those cute […]

If You Just Smile

Steven’s break-up day interview was less sad than expected [video].  Also on the bright side, his busted face is healing very nicely.  Little puffy-eyed shiner action just makes him look tough. The beard was good while it lasted, eh?  One of our favorites this season. He even had a few smiles for the summertime.  Well […]

Leaving on a…

Sorry, that’s so cheesy.  It’s official, the Atlanta Thrashers are moving to Winnipeg [link].  This is the second time an NHL team will leave Atlanta for Canada – but they’re really broken up this time.  They’re not getting back together.  Unless they do. The only way this really affects us is that Chuck and I […]

Mikey Monday: Belated

I missed Mikey Monday!  It was for Memorial Day and the Caps support the troops so I guess it was okay.  Plus, I’m a little mad at Mikey.  He could have warned me about summer in DC.  No wonder he hit the jets for Calgary so quickly!  It was 95 here yesterday and our a/c broke […]

True Story

Chuck (Ron) and Pants (Harry), circa Bruins/Lightning Game 7. Stamkos gets hit in the face: The Bruins score to take a 1-0 lead: The game ends: Yes Chuck, that really happened!!  Congratulations to the Bruins.  Make room for me on your wagon because we’re going to Vancouver!

Pick It Up

I have no problem saying that hockey players are tougher than other athletes.  Sure each sport has tough guys and heroic stories, but those are exceptions.  This is the norm: Steven Stamkos, you’re a BAMF.  He’s also 21 and in his first ever playoff run, and facing his second game 7 elimination situation.  What does […]

So I went to the gym today…

But my spin class was full. Sid: That’s Pants’ bike. Bergy: She has to sit by Sid. TBG Drew: Why? Bergy: Because he borrowed her capris. Sid: After she stole Patty’s shoes. Bergy: Because Sid sings along, but Pants drowns him out. Sid: You sing too. Bergy: Only when we go downhill to Lady Gaga.

Down Time

There is NOTHING to do.  Last night felt like the first night of summer – even though the Cup final isn’t even set, there was no hockey on and it gave me  pre-traumatic stress disorder.  Somewhere in Boston, Chuck is *freaking out* right now. Since I already have the new Lady Gaga album, this is […]

Hey Cassy…

Guy Boucher is confused.  He wants to beat the Bruins but he can’t hurt you while wearing this shirt. This man makes the greatest faces.  He’s like Jonathan Toews in 20 years.

Stanley Cup Final – Schedule

It’s here, it’s here!  And it affirms my math that my wedding is after the last possible game so Chuck and I are not ducking out of the reception to check scores.  Not everyone understands us. Bonus: No conflict with either of the two NKOTBSB shows that Gator and I are going to.  Because that […]

Going All the Way

Chuck is inconsolable today about having the face Game 7 tomorrow night in Boston.  Baby, this is the story of my life.  Try to remember that drama is what the playoffs are about.  It’s why we love them.  That sick-to-your-stomach feeling that ends in leaping around the living room or lying face down on the […]

Any Volunteers?

Stockholm Syndrome is a term used to describe a paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages express empathy and have positive feelings toward their captors. (from Wikipedia) Happy Wednesday, y’all.

Baby, Baby, Baby, Noooooo…

The only upside to this is now Logan Couture and I have more time to practice the Justin Bieber dance routine we’re going to perform when he wins the Calder Trophy in Vegas. Okay Eastern Conference.  Give me something to care about!

Happy Tuesday.

This is all I have today.  But what else do you need?

Mikey Monday – DC Ink

I’m a day early, I know, but  Mike Tweeted a photo of the outline of his new tattoo.  And he said you should give someone a hug because he’s sure you know someone who needs one.  You do.  It’s me.  Because of this. As we’ve discussed, I’m not really into tattoos.  Yes, that’s weird.  There […]

Off-Season Projects

#2: New yearbook photos NHL Class of 2011: Paul Bissonnette Most Likely to Get You Grounded by Your Dad (for Good Reason) Biz photoshoot from @_MichaelFranco_, who Tweeted a few photos early.

Moving Out?

The Atlanta Thrashers may or may not be moving to Winnipeg.  Mostly because they have to find this guy first and make sure he’s sobered up: Canadian Man calls 911 and demands to have Winnipeg Jets back Apparently the move will be announced Tuesday.  I had a great (and very blurry) time at a Thrashers […]

Full Moon Rising

Tyler Seguin, report to Principal Chuck’s office. A playoff goal will get you a long way.  Two, even farther.  And the Technicolor Dreamcoat may well may her weep with joy. But this beard and hair combination is hysterical.  Guess Teen Wolf was before your time. But if you want to bite through a beer can […]

Mikey Monday

I’m traveling for work and frankly have nothing anyway, but these make me laugh.  Everybody’s so tough.  Err…
