IT WORKED!! All your wishing and hoping and posting and Tweeting worked. Whatever we did, it might have helped. The Blackhawks are still in it. They tore open a 5-0 lead in the second period on 2G and 1A each from Duncan Keith and Marion Hossa. Patty Kane added one and thus went Roberto Luongo […]
The plan for tonight’s Blackhawks game involves Chuck and I taking polyjuice potion, turning ourselves into the Sedin twins and throwing the game. We’re talking bad penalties, own-goals, the works. We have all kind of faith in the Hawks but some things are better not left to chance. Plus, we’ve always wanted to be ginger […]
PENS WIN! So they had a two goal lead, let it get away and had to slog into double OT to take a 3-1 lead in the series. A win is a win is a win and last night… James Neal, you stud! Way to make up for a lack of production in a big way. […]
Where have you been all my life season?! The Blackhawks blew the doors off the Madhouse last night with a 7-2 win over Vancouver to keep from being swept, devastated and sent to the back nine with nothing but their ’10 Cup rings for company. Dave Bolland had 1G + 2A. Patrick Sharp had 2G, […]
I can’t make an alliterative joke about Tuesday without wanting tacos! The Pens won 3-2 last night on a sweet baby barbecue sauce goal from Tyler Kennedy. [video] If you’ve never watched a Pens game with me, TK gets some of the loudest cheering. He is my Who from Whoville, wha-hoo-na. LePretty had 2 assists […]
Don’t you give me that look, Jonathan Toews. Because I’m giving you one right back. You’re close. You’re so close you’re RIGHT THERE. I know it’s not saying much you only have 4 games to work with. The last two games have been heartbreakers and the thought of tomorrow being the end for the Hawks […]
The Caps lost a tough one yesterday to Brandon Dubinsky’s mustache, but I don’t think that hideous accessory has another game in it. Mike has 3 assists in 3 playoff games. He’s also averaging 22 minutes of ice time. Not bad for missing all those games, eh? The Caps took twice as many penalties as […]
We had our highest page views ever yesterday (over 1200). And our own page views don’t count, so Dawn can go back to that Ovy “Foxy Friday” every ten minutes if she wants. It’s only fitting for the post-season, right? We love you guys! And thanks to Brooks Laich, who was searched 33 times by […]
I’m not getting too excited over the Game 1 victory in Pittsburgh, because Kenny Rogers says you never count your money while you’re sitting at the table. But there was definitely some screaming last night (aside from cries of anguish over the Blackhawks) because I do get excited over strong starts and shutouts. James […]
Did I forget I was in charge at Bauer? Because I definitely did the endorsement casting for these commercials: NICKY SPEAKING SWEDISH! Wish you were in the playoffs, EStaaaaaaaaaaal.
Time to skip school, call in sick to work, cancel your friendships and stock up on canned goods. It’s playoff time. I’m wearing my Crosby jersey to work in DC and the Red Wings fan in my office can’t look at me. And there’s this: We know you’re ready for tonight – for yelling at […]
Chuck and I are kicking it Miss Cleo-style and find we’re really on the same page about Round 1 of the Playoffs. EASTERN CONFERENCE No.1 Washington Capitals vs No.8 New York Rangers Chuck: Capitals. Because I like way more guys on the Capitals than I do on the Rangers. Pants: Capitals. I have always hated […]
Mike Green is ready to go. He was in, then out, in, out for Saturday’s game against Florida – and as much as we love to see him play, there was no reason. Wait till Wednesday because it is on now. In past years, Mike has rocked the mohawk. We hear through the grapevine that […]
Every year when the playoffs arrive, I feel like the dad in A Christmas Story opening his Major Award. Stress, joy, surprise, fear and jealousy all in a big wooden crate. We encourage you to take today and tomorrow to relax. Deep condition your hair, take a yoga class, hug a tree. Because Wednesday is […]
Right now I feel like this: With a little bit of this: all for meeeeeeeeeeeeee Resulting in quite a lot of this: Thank you, Minnesota Wild for giving me (hopefully) three more rounds of Blackhawks cheering before I have to root against them in the Pens vs. Hawks Cup Final of my dreams.
This is me, right now, over the Blackhawks loss to the Red Wings. I’d tell you what I think of the Red Wings but I’m pretty sure I’d be sequestered for their safety. So please, pleasepleaseplease let everything go my way because I’m a bad loser. I mean worse than Crosby. And the only other […]
I haven’t done a Foxy Friday is forever. The regular season is thisclose to being over and it’s about time we talked Ryan Kesler. Kesler is getting a lot of support for NHL MVP this season (not the least of which is from former Foxy Friday @buccigross). He scored a hat trick last night to […]
Today’s Daily Dose of Letang is brought to you by the DVD release of The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I nerd-love the Narnia movies, but this one was hard to watch. Because Prince Caspian is Kris Letang. And it’s distracting. He even has an accent. It’s the wrong accent, but still. […]
Happy Birthday, Duper! You are a Pens fan favorite for so many reasons. Someone on Twitter has the handle “Dupweeeeeeeeee” which is what I yell when you score! And all the members of your fan club have matching tattoos (including me): You’re an awesome team dad (thanks 24/7 for loving the dads): You’re perfect for […]
When they say a picture is worth a thousand words, they mean one like this: Jonathan Toews, bless you. I can barely keep my lunch down for all the stress I feel over the Blackhawks. The OT loss in Montreal, with JT in the box, felt like a kick in the gut (PK Subban, never […]
