If someone finds my lifeless body later today, no need for an investigation. Cause of death: Mike Green with this dog. Why is this picture killing me so much? Why do I love a shirt that’s kind of ugly and doesn’t even really match his pants? Who has bacon behind the camera, because the dog […]
I’m all for the old-fashioned let your kids play outside and get dirty, and yeah sometimes they get hurt. They’re kids, that’s the way it goes. But when it comes to multi-million dollar professional athletes: WEAR A VISOR. Martin St. Louis was hit in the face during Tampa Bay’s practice yesterday. He suffered facial and […]
You guys are the best. Mike Green starts Tweeting and our phone rings off the hook! FOUND PANDA, people! Mike was as excited as Gator and I about the Caps putting together a serious, solid win. Ovi had a goal (haven’t typed that in a long time), Nicky and Jeff Halpern each 1 G/1 A, […]
Late last night, the NHL’s Board of Governors approved a radical realignment plan that will completely reshape the busted up, crooked nose, missing teeth face of the NHL. Normally, things like this don’t confuse us. We consider ourselves pretty sharp ladies with excellent hockey acumen (uh, we DID go to BU after all), especially when […]
It’s not too early to nominate Jonathan Toews for the Hart Trophy. The Blackhawks were down 3-0 to Phoenix last night, early in the second period. Tazer scored twice in seven minutes then set Kaner up a few minutes later for a game-tying goal that would hold into an eventual shootout loss. It was a BAMF […]
So Ovi has a new coach, a new girlfriend so let’s hope that leads to a new attitude! Right? Well if the first game was any indication, I might jump ship – WHAT?! Just kiddding. That sound you just heard was Pants and Chuck simulatenously dropping over. I’m so excited for the battle of the hotties […]
So Max got three games for his ‘Hamlet 2’ to Letang’s face . Fair or not, I equate to getting a traffic ticket in the mail when there’s no posted signs. Letang see-saws saying he thinks the three games is fair – having been -Shanna-hammered in the past – but doesn’t think Max is a dirty player. What […]
So of all the hockey channels I do get, I don’t get the NHL. I KNOW! So when the CBC switched over to the second coming of St. Sid and the Penns at 4:38 against Ottawa, I told Mr. Cherrie to get his half rack out because we have a new drinking game. Every time some one mentions […]
Mike Green skated today before the Caps practice, his first since missing 8 games with this latest injury. He also changed his Twitter picture. These days, that is considered news. When Mike gets back he’ll have a new coach, new system and maybe a whole new outlook. Let’s hope Hunter packed his bubble wrap. Wonder […]
Intern Jeff Skinner is off today to stand in as acting Head Coach of the Hurricanes after they fired Paul Maurice this morning. With a record of 8-13-4 and EStaal struggling mightily, this is less shocking and more standard than Boudreau going from the Caps. Staal has only 5 goals on on 89 shots – […]
The Capitals have fired Bruce Boudreau and replaced him with NHL alum and first-time head coach Dale Hunter. It’s the same sort of surprise when you fall out of a tree hit the ground. It was probably inevitable, but you’re still a little shocked to find that this is the time. You thought it […]
Since Ovi is obligated to shave with his Gillette contract – he’s out. Plus he’s in dire need of a hug. And Kris Letang has been shaving which is a total shame because I sometimes like the wolverine look – but I can wait for the playoffs because that look can get old really fast. […]
Be honest. Were you expecting anything less? Sidney Crosby had 2 goals and 2 assists in his comeback game last night vs. NYI. He dominated like he hadn’t missed a single game. I can’t pick my favorite part. The dazzling first goal? The obvious “F*%& YEAH!” after (which SportsCenter actually blurred out)? The smile? Or […]
The news on Mike is: 1) He’s not skating [link]. Boudreau hopeful Mike will be able to skate by the end of this week. 2) The Caps are kinda falling apart. Semin’s demoted to 4th line and may be a healthy scratch vs. Phoenix tonight [link]. They’ve lost 6 of 7 games, giving up 27 […]
It’s tomorrow. It’s the day. TOMORROW. Holy heck, I’m freaking out. Sidney Crosby will return to the Penguins lineup Monday night vs. NYI. Disco Dan says he should play around 15 minutes. He’ll go on the Dupuis/Kunitz line, leaving the Neal/Sullivan/Geno line intact (for now). To everyone who texted/Tweeted us with the news, while […]
Mike Green didn’t make the trip to Winnipeg with the Caps, but he did take his sprained ankle to the Kid Rock show in DC last night. He wore his only favorite sweater (seriously, he wears this more than Toews wears that suit) and that hat that makes me want to throw snowballs. Money was […]
Sorry, what were you saying? JamesNeal.com couldn’t hear anything over the Penguins scoring four goals in 10:30 last night vs. Colorado. The Pens were down 3-2 when the second period began. Then this happened: Nealmobile was 1st star with 1 G/2 A and infallible facial hair grooming. Can I tell you why? There’s a guy […]
While we have been busy with Mikey getting hurt and Tyler Seguin pouring it on and James Neal scoring daily, the Blackhawks are the #1 team in the NHL with 25 points (11-4-3). Tazer was the NHL’s Third Star for last week, with two 2-goal games to help the Hawks win three in a row. Jon […]
Movember claims another victim. Chuck’s not going to be happy with me. But I didn’t make Rick Nash do this. The camo jersey… since it’s a tribute to Veteran’s Day we’ll declare it okay for the day. It’s the stache. Ricky looks like he’s wondering just how much barbed wire he needs to keep […]
JamesNeal.com here, reporting for duty. James has been stuck at 9 goals for a while – Kessel Cartman has 11 and Stamkos has 10. Do you think Steven chirps James about passing him in the stats? What if they did it on Twitter? We would die, that’s what. Nealer has 14 points in 15 games, […]
