Inspired by this hilarious selection for the “Double Date” feature on The Hockey Junkies, Dawn and I have been discussing bromances. In a sport full of hugging, how can you not have them? All those long road trips, you just want to cuddle on the flight home. And we just want to wade through days […]
… is being sooooooooo cloooooooooooose… ugh, I hate the guy from Rascall Flatts’ voice but there is no other way to describe Pittsburgh’s loss to the Rangers last night. Unless you’re Mr. Pants and (just to be an ass) you’re suddenly a Rangers fan who wants a vintage jersey. Shut up or you’re paying for […]
Hey you, fans of freedom and democracy. It’s time to vote for the NHL All-Star Game 2011. Put aside your petty team allegiances and indulge your guilty hockey pleasures by voting for whoever you like. Log in to vote.nhl.com, page through the lovely headshots and vote for 3 forwards, 2 defensemen and a goalie. If […]
Excuse me as my onomatopoeia gets a little out of control: It’s the Mikey Monday Mustache & Moped edition. As Dawn pointed out a few weeks ago, it’s Movember. And I don’t think most of these guys need an excuse to grow a ridiculous mustache. While we applaud Mike for participating to raise awareness about […]
So it’s sixth grade and you’re in gym class, wearing itchy cotton/poly-blend elastic shorts and RecSpecs over your glasses. You stand in the back, behind the awkwardly tall early-growth-spurt kids, hoping no one will notice you. But they always do. They always pick you last. It’s the reality of adolescence, the prepubescent torture made famous […]
Oh snap. We are so ahead of the game! Monday has come and gone, and today guess who’s featured on the NHL.com homepage with a video highlight and a story? WUYS poster boy Mike Green. I’ll keep this short, since Dawn has to listen to me all day long. Mike launched a Facebook fan site. […]
So… one whole game last night, eh? I still managed 9.5 points for my fantasy team because Zetterberg is a machine. Since there’s nothing to talk about, how about a preview of tonight’s games? Capitals @ Rangers – How much does Mike Green really love us? Enough to get his 5th goal in 5 games […]
The Mondays cannot come fast enough for Mike Green. He absolutely killed it this week! The season is one month old and the Capitals are atop their division standings today. Last night, Mike dusted off his other nickname (we prefer Fidget) and scored the game-winning, overtime power play goal to give the Capitals a 3-2 […]
Sidney Crosby had a fight last night. Sidney Crosby won a fight last night. I am still recovering from the heart palpitations. The game between Pittsburgh and Dallas got out of reach pretty quickly, with the Stars up 4-1 in the 2nd. Things took a turn for the ugly when Brendan Morrow picked a fight […]
I need a date for the Penguins game in Anaheim on Friday, 11/5 – that’s this week! Extra ticket, bottom bowl: section 202 and I’ll even give someone a ride from LA. Don’t let the Pens be sad because I have to sit with Ducks fans! Okay, Ducks fans are cool. But who is going […]
This week’s edition of Mikey Monday practically wrote itself! Like a Post-It Note on the bathroom mirror, the Caps dumped the Flames on Saturday night. Hard. Iginla will be eating Krispy Kremes and cutting Ovi out of photos for at least a week. Washington scored 6 goals in the 2nd period and won 7-2. Mike […]
I don’t want to steal anyone’s thunder on Foxy Friday, but Jonathan Toews does. We asked him to give someone else a minute, but Jon just smiled and did another set of squats. How are we supposed to compete with that? Squats are JT’s secret fangirl-destruction device, so we’re creating a category for them here. […]
Wait, I picked a Blackhawk last time! And I’m wearing a Toews shirt today. But some choices are just… WELL OBVIOUSLY. There are several definitions of “foxy” around here, and one person fits them all: Patrick Sharp has scored 8 goals in his last 7 games and is tied for the NHL lead in goals […]
The Penguins unveiled their Winter Classic jerseys today. If you live out West, the game is on at 10 AM. That’s technically still New Year’s Eve in my book, but frankly what a way to ring it in! Crosby, Staal, Letang, Talbot, Flower (hopefully) and throw in some Mike Green… I can wake up for […]
The Calgary Flames visited the Edmonton Oilers last night. Of course they hate each other, so it’s like putting your ex-boyfriend in a room with your older brother and letting them duke it out. The game was both a total mess and really fun to watch. Highlight of the Game: Alex Tanguay’s game-winning shootout goal! […]
Remember when I got all worked up about Jonathan Toews doing squats for the new NHL ad campaign? Well it gets better. JT sleeping on the bus. This is so cute it makes my ovaries hurt. Thank you to snowsoldier99 who actually videotaped her TV while it was playing this. That’s the kind of dedication […]
For this installment of Mikey Monday, I’m going to give making fun of Mike Green’s spending habits a rest. Instead, I bring you a recap of the text conversation between myself and Dawn on Saturday during the Capitals/Thrashers game (video). There were about 75 texts over 3 hours. Mike was back after missing 3 games […]
I can hardly bring myself to paraphrase the Alex Ovechkin feature in November’s GQ Magazine. Was I expecting something else? No way in hell. Was I hoping for a little more, maybe for Dawn’s sake? I think I was. Or at least because he stands really close to Mike Green and I’m afraid Ovi is […]
Right? It seemed like Saturday alone had 100 games. Thank God for StarCraft II or Mr. Pants might want to watch some TV and I’d have to tell him no. Goalies were giving away hat tricks this weekend – Semin, Richardson, Stamkos, Borque (he almost got 2!) plus Tavares and Alfredsson, both earning me big […]
Update: Vancouver Canucks’ Rick Rypien has been suspended 6 games for his attack on a fan in Minnesota. Please watch this video of George Parros fighting with Jody Shelley. Yes they fight all the time, mustache vs. girls’ name, but listen to the background noise at 0:12 – is that the sound of a boxing […]
