Whenever someone messes up in a Caps game I think, “Thank God it wasn’t Mike.” But last night, it was. I hung around Verizon for about 30 min yesterday after the Nationals game, deciding if I should spend way too much money on a hockey ticket or save it for Game 5. If there is […]
In which I totally miss my chance to meet Steven Stamkos. Friday morning I hatch a master plan. Gator is going to marry Steven Stamkos, move back to Florida and live near the Yuengling brewery in TB. WUYS Remote HQ. She takes one look at his presh face and agrees. “Gator, I am not kidding!” […]
Our beloved Captain Serious turns 23 today. Best guess is that he’s facedown next to six or eight empty DiGiorno Pizza & Breadsticks boxes and a pile of Yoo-Hoo bottles. But we’re here to tell Tazer there’s no need to be sad. As Foxy Friday alum and Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the Derp, Jonathan Toews […]
EEEEEEEEEEEE! Gator and I are going to Caps game tonight! We just bought tickets on StubHub for $62 each. WHAT?! Good thing we were at work really early before everyone in DC wakes up and realizes Round 2 starts today. I only slept 4 hours last night and we’re both wearing blue. Commence emergency maneuvers! […]
Shea Weber’s beard was interviewed before and after the Preds’ 1-0 loss to Vancouver in Game 1. I cannot express how much I want Nashville to win. Not only do I hate the Canucks (especially now, PTSD!) but we need more time for this to reach its full potential: I can’t seem to link to […]
Again with the emotional imbalances – I can barely see to type because of the tears. I don’t know what this is. But that hair. Chuck, I think Nicky B wants to replace Bry(i)an in Westlife. And is that purple icon supposed to look like a phone? Is that what phones look like in Sweden? […]
Rest up. You’re the only thing I have left to live for in the playoffs. PS: Internet FTW.
I woke up this morning to find that yesterday did indeed happen. The worst 24 hours of my sports life have left me pretty devastated, but my coworker and fellow hockey fan Gator left this on my desk: Fortified on sugar and sympathy, I feel strong enough to write something. It’s been quite a year […]
Pants is not home today. Maybe tomorrow.
It’s confirmed that Sidney Crosby will not ride the white zamboni onto the ice tonight for Game 7. I needed to see this in writing before I gave up the hope. That said, the Penguins are going to rock. I am getting really excited to speed home from yet another work event in time for […]
The Blackhawks’ game seven, 2-1 OT loss to the Canucks last night was absolutely heartbreaking. It was also an incredible hockey game. Alex Burrows scored just 2:43 in, and that goal would stand for almost the entire night. Every Canuck player seemed 10 feet tall at times – the Hawks couldn’t go through or around […]
I’m a mess today. Crushed over the Pens loss last night but SO PSYCHED for the Hawks game because it is ON in Vancouver! I will definitely need an office dance party today (in my Toews shirt). I read a quote (which I can’t find now) that said over the last 3 games, Vancouver hasn’t […]
Last night watching the Pens game, I was all… Listen, Stamkos. I wanted you to have some luck. Not spend the whole 3rd period with your helmet off trying to convince us it’s okay if we have to see you for another round. We are impervious to your blond-ness. You didn’t even do anything last […]
The Nashville Predators advanced to Round 2… and the beard lives on. Shea Weber’s beard is the top ranking search term around here every day. The Foxy Friday alum has also been nominated for the Norris Trophy. That’s a pretty badass few days. They join the Red Wings and Capitals in the waiting room to […]
You know in A Christmas Story, when Ralphie shoots his eye just like everyone said he would? Well Mike took another shot to the head on Saturday. I swear he’s magnetic. This dinger actually knocked a few screws out of Mike’s helmet… [video] Our immediate Mike Green Prayer Circle seemed to work though – he […]
Holy Canada. Last night’s Blackhawks/Canucks game was one cake-eater away from being The Mighty Ducks. So much drama that someone had to write this thing in advance. I was fangirl-ing away on the couch. We open on the Madhouse on Madison. Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo is having a tough time – dethroned as team captain […]
Happy Birthday, Kitty! Everyone’s favorite Disney prince turns 24 today. Let’s hope he celebrates with a Game 6 win against the Lightning tomorrow night. (Go Pens!) Kris had a career year in 2010-2011. He was the top vote-getting D for the All-Star Game, and all the votes were write-in! My interns really rocked that one. […]
I choose to ignore today’s Penguins game, which they lost 8-2. Instead, let’s talk about this. If you ofter follow the Pens Report on the team website, you’ve been enjoying the hilarity of Sam Kasan for ages. My favorite thing about him is usually the “inspirational” YouTube music videos in his daily entries. But this […]
You don’t even KNOW how happy this makes me. Nealmobile got a commercial for his double OT game-winner! And the announcers had it spot on as it happened… I’ve got the chills! Time to run around the block. Is it Saturday yet?!
We have reached a critical stage in Beard Watch 2011. The Preds and Ducks are tied 2-2 and it’s looking like this series could go seven games. In fact, we hope so. Because this thing is getting epic. Shea Weber is approaching Level ELMO. He was somewhere between bath time and Rubber Duckie, now he’s […]
