Foxy Friday: David Krejci

Boston Bruins center David Krejci is a Clark Kent. During the regular season, he is just this mild-mannered guy, playing good hockey.  He’s not particularly flashy.   In fact, some times you don’t even realize he is there. Then playoffs come around. And he becomes this. In just four games this post season, Krejci has […]

Mikey Monday: ASDFGHJKL!!

Caps/Rangers Game 3 was incredible.  The kind of game that makes new hockey fans.  The kind of game that nearly kills the rest of us.   Is there anything to say or think or even feel that that isn’t breathlessly captured in these photos by clydeorama from Jasper’s Rink? Anything else you want to hug? […]

Foxy Friday: Henrik Zetterberg

Well folks, it’s the final Friday of April, which means the final entry for the Foxy Friday Fan Challenge. This week,  Brenda (@wishinonehand) wins again.  We swear it isn’t nepotism, but when you submit good stuff, we have to share it. And this one is most defintely a keeper. Sadly, we don’t get to watch […]

Up Close and…

Check out these gorgeous pictures from Carmen Mandato Photography. Large, hi-res versions are on the website along with a few shots of other teams. People have asked if she’ll have prints available for sale.  She’s on Facebook too. God, don’t you just love hockey?  And wish you had longer eyelashes?  And feel relieved that no […]

Time Over Time

Sundays should be easy.  Could someone please inform my hockey teams? Penguins 2, Flyers 1 – OT The past two seasons, the Flyers have ended big win streaks for the Pens.  Not last night!!  It took a while, until Crosby PPGed so hard he almost fell over.  He is a little back-heavy, after all. .gif by […]

Double-oh my goodness.

You may recall I once insisted Bauer was falsely advertising their “base layer” collection by featuring all hockey players and no underwear. They didn’t quite hear me, but they may have understood some of my International Sign language.   That’s right.  My hair-tossing and reasonable facsimile of the Kid N’ Play dance meant please do […]

We Want More!

When someone talks to me about Steven Stamkos scoring goals:   And Stammer never lets a girl down.  Last night he scored his 200th career goal in the Lightning win over the Flyers.  Bonus yay. Alone in my car with Game Center Live radio playing on my phone, I yelled, “Hey girl, I’m Steven Stamkos!” Not […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Celebrate with this ridiculous goal Patrick Kane scored in the Hawks 8-1 win against the Dallas Stars last night.   Are you kidding me?!  You know somewhere in Siberia, Peggy’s pissed he didn’t ask Kaner how he scores from the right side.

Loosen Up My Buttons

We should get paid to test the critical mass of Twitter’s servers because when things like this happen, we do it for free. Jonathan Toews in today’s SPLASH Magazine from the Chicago Sun-Times. Is he in the shower?  What kind of newspaper insert is this?  It’s like the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog you have to be 18 […]

Oh hell.

“Suite & Tie” has not grown on me the way “SexyBack” did, where I decided it was the best song since “Bye Bye Bye” and played it ten thousand times. That’s about to change.   While I’m bringing back 2006 dance jams, can I resurrect SWAG for a second? (Then kill it again immediately?) What I really need […]

Mr. Tall, Dark & Hockey

Last Valentine’s Day, we brought you a crash course in finding the perfect date.  This year, Chuck is rewriting her Match.com profile and under “What You’re Looking For,” she’s including this: Hey, they said be specific. So for another round of the Hallmark Holiday, we’re talking about What a Girl Wants – NHL Edition.  Get […]

Meanwhile, in Canada…

It’s not my fault I’ve seen this commercial a hundred times.  It’s on during the break in every Canadian telecast!  Canada, I love you. Also, today is Max Talbot’s birthday.  I forget about Max for stretches of time (blinded by the orange), but he deserves some birthday attention. Why are John Tavares and Matt Duchene […]

AreYouKiddingMePatrickKane?!

When it comes to the Blackhawks, it’s not easy to be the prettiest anything. You’re well-dressed… till Patrick Sharp walks by.  Feeling reliably heroic… then you see Jonathan Toews.  Rugged?  Try Viktor Stalberg.  Good hair day? Ruined by Brent Seabrook.  You can’t even walk a dog without being upstaged by Duncan Keith and forget being […]

Poke the Bear. Get the Chuck.

Last night, Bruins beat the Jets in a shoot-out. Awesome. Top line of Tyler Seguin, Patrice Bergeron, and Brad Marchand looks great, especially the Squirrel, who was all over the ice, collecting up all those acorns. That’s cool. Tuukka Rask played well and looked sharp in the shoot out. Word. But, people, not all was […]

Back In Action

Some things are perfect. (Thanks Alison!) Okay, everything is perfect. All hockey, all weekend long.  Did you enjoy it?  Did you camp out on the couch/floor, eating pizza and compounding four-letter words at the top of your lungs?  Did your husband say, “I forgot how crazy you are?”  (Mine did.) Because hockey is back. It […]

Hockey…Resurrected!

Last night, Bruins fans from near and far gathered at The Harp Boston to celebrate the return of the greatest sport on Planet Earth. The event, dubbed “Hockey Resurrection Party” was hosted by our local sports radio station, couple of hockey blogs, including our friends at Days of Y’Orr and Boston sports apparel juggernaut, Boston […]

Foxy Friday: Ryan Malone

It’s been all Tampa Bay up in here this week so I thought of no better way to round out the week that with a Tampa Bay Lightning Foxy Friday! This week’s honoree – Ryan Malone Here are the stats on Mr. Malone – Born in Pittsburgh on December 1, 1979.  Not only is he […]

Buzz the Tower

Does the Tampa Bay Lightning team insurance cover mass heart attack when Steven Stamkos Tweets this picture? My kind of climate crisis. Before the close up, you have to sign a waiver saying it’s not my fault if you pass out, hit your head and prance off into an unconscious remake of Top Gun. Shirtless […]

When Will Then Be Now?

Is it January 19th yet? Soon.   Two words:

Hit Me Like A Mack Truck

…if a Mack truck wore a NY Rangers sweater. Here I was, just minding my own, thinking I was doing all well with the return of hockey.  I was just going to ease right back into it and get my bearings…then BAM…Rick Nash. Damn you, Rick Nash.  Damn you and your LLBean-boyfriend good looks and […]
