On vacation, sans Center Ice, I discovered that the NHL is now on Hulu! So if you’d rather watch outdated hockey games you know the ending of than Underworld for the 80th time, now you can: www.hulu.com/nhl. The content is a little outdated, but you can watch condensed games (known as highlights to the rest […]
EStaaaaaaal and Nick Lidstrom are the 2011 All-Star Game Captains and I have to say WELL DONE, NHL. This is so fun already. And Eric is smiling. I haven’t been this excited about a Captain since Malcolm Reynolds. This is the ultimate olive branch because even if you hate the Wings (slowly raises hand), you […]
Pretty much every team has posted their All-Stars’ reactions to being selected, so there are a ton of videos. But I like this one best – it’s Team Dawn and Team Pants. I think these two are the only Capitals NOT in a bromance, despite the enthusiasm of their on-ice hugging. [Video] PS: I still […]
There’s nothing going on today and I keep dwelling on the Penguins 3rd period meltdown last night… so let’s lighten the mood. Our countdown comments: 10) God those Anaheim sweaters were ugly. Not as ugly as the first purple & teal ones, but that stripe at the bottom is awful. 9) Sid’s landlord will totally […]
The complete All-Star Game roster has been selected and let me tell you – HALF of my fantasy hockey team is on here. No wonder I’m killing it! There are tons of first-time All-Stars (21), though it kind of makes me wonder how some of these guys weren’t All-Stars last year. Steven Stamkos split the […]
Dawn’s talking about the Pens, I’m talking about the Caps – it’s like Freaky Friday in here. (Okay, maybe not.) There are days when you’re the guy, and days when you aren’t. Mike Green was definitely the guy in the Caps’ Saturday night win over Florida. First, he made this pass to Eric Fehr from […]
There are five lanes of traffic and a trolley track between my office and this newspaper rack. I said “No way!” out loud to the whole sidewalk, then almost got hit by a bus taking this photo. Most of these ads are a stretch (Jenna Elfman?), as is this one unless you’re a Pens fan. […]
Dawn is up in arms that I didn’t mention Handshake-Gate 2011, which I actually just forgot. Glad you brought that up! Because here is the single HBO FAIL for this whole series. They say it happened in every other Classic, but don’t believe everything you hear on TV. The Penguins did not line up for […]
The NHL’s biggest mainstream media events of the season are over, but man were they good. HBO’s 24/7 finale was a beauty; the Winter Classic was worth all that hype in the end. Highlights from the last episode: – Matt Cooke’s son in the matching suit. That is gangsta. And then his dad throws some […]
The Pens have an All-Star reaction video up [Video]. It looks like the Grinch snuck in and cleared out their locker room. We can’t get 10 extra seconds to let Tanger talk? Bonus clip of him licking his lips while Sid talks – he could be thinking what I’m thinking. Apparently The Hat has not […]
Okay, okay! It’s funny! (Bonus hearts for Steve Levy.) Dawn hates Varly… does this change your mind? [New video link]
Remember way back on November 15 when I posted my NHL All-Star Game starting lineup? Well 4 out of my 6 were just named All-Stars by the general fan voting! Once again, I control the Universe. Mikey was not on the list, but I’ll take Duncan Keith FTW! Also, Flower makes me a little, uh… […]
Jonathan Toews is a stud. Two weeks? Hell no. He’s be back on the ice right now vs. Los Angeles because he didn’t get the message that Steph and I cancelled our trip when he got hurt. So we’re here, and he’s there. Communication fail. We should be sitting with his mom in the box […]
Mike was a little quiet during the Winter Classic, but not surrounding the Winter Classic. In fact, he orchestrated getting a friend on the ice for the family skate to propose to his girlfriend! How cute is that?! [Story] We watched the game at Giordano Bros. in SF, our fave Pittsburgh bar. I had to […]
Okay, the Caps won the Winter Classic. Hissssssssssssss. I got over it by watching this. Unless you plan on ever getting in a car with Nicklas Backstrom (Warning: Don’t. Scary u-turns ahoy.), you can skip to 3:52 for the best interview ever. The Capitals are all in LOVE with each other. It’s kinda cute. Brooks […]
Now that the Winter Classic has been rescheduled for 8 PM ET tomorrow, I don’t have to wake up early to watch it on the West Coast. Rejoice! Feel free to do this tonight, but put on a Crosby shirt.
The ‘stache is gone. Hallelujah. [Video] Somebody looks like a sleepy puppy. Also, I really like this sweatshirt. Not a great sign that it’s all he needs to wear outside in December, but hey. They skated and the game is on (for now). Bonus: Jordan lost the shootout and had to run to the upper […]
I had no one to yell/text/tweet to last night while watching 24/7. The vase in my living room, however, is a huge hockey fan. You can watch the whole show online at Youtube 247NHL. Sadly for Dawn, Ovi kept his pants on the whole time. Huzzah for the rest of us. Highlights! – Ben Lovejoy’s […]
Today’s stories are brought to you in order of importance. No. In order of who I think is hottest. (So basically like every day here, right?) 1) Crosby’s point streak ended last night at 25 games and I bet Dawn was ringing a church bell in Spokane. Sid was pouty-pants after the game, probably as […]
Wedding favors for everyone! Sidney Crosby Lip Balm. BOOM. Thanks to my BFF and future doctor Michelle for this one – AMAZING. She really wants to go to med school in Pittsburgh so I can visit. Featured in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette [link]: If you’re a lucky ticket holder for this weekend’s Winter Classic, be sure […]
