They're Sexy and They Know It

If it wasn’t for WUYS fan Carter, aka @thekitchenette, I totally would have missed this. And that would have been a real shame. Darth Quiader and Tuuuuukkkkkaaa showing us all why we should cast them in the remake of “Newsies” How much you want to bet Seguin has a matching fedora?  They are in a […]

Shanabanned: Patrick Kaleta

4 games for headbutting Jakub Voracek. Yup, that one’s pretty obvious. PS: How many white shirts do you think Brendan has?  Will he ever go nuts and wear a blue one?

Cloud Nine

Today at JamesNeal.com: James Neal scored last night (we bet he did) in the Pens 3-2 win over the Islanders.  It wasn’t just a goal – Neal scored the first and only 5-on-4 power play goal the Islanders have given up all season.  He doesn’t just score.  He breaks your streaks and ruins your percentages, […]

Pittsburgh Press Conference

Does anyone know what’s up in Pittsburgh today?  I hope they’re officially dropping “Steel City” and just going with “Pittsburgh: Girls Love” or starting to teach Geno-speak in schools, while letting kids wear ugly t-shirts and hug wild animals. Here’s the PensTV Report [link] – they should announce that Katie O needs to sit up […]

And He Won That Car

While you guys have been listening to me rave about James Neal  at an octave usually reserved for boybands and high school quarterbacks… The NHL’s other leading goal-scorer, Phil Kessel Cartman has 7 goals and 12 points in Toronto.  He’s historically a fast starter (as is the Nealmobile), only to experience huge production drops later. […]

Clean Up, Aisle 8

Gator and I were at the Caps game last night when Mikey got hurt at the end of the 2nd period.  We were busy revising iCarly’s participation in Gator’s Life Plan, so we just saw contact, then Mike fell down.  This happens a lot, folks.  But Mike got up very awkwardly, half-stumbled to the bench […]

More of This

Greetings from JamesNeal.com.  In James Neal news, James Neal scored again in the Pens 4-2 win over Minnesota last night [link]. Oh, you wanted a shiny new Nealmobile highlight reel?  (No more rhyming and I mean it!).  Here it is, thanks to PensTV [link]. JStaal, Duper and Kunitz also scored and Brent Johnson was first […]

Tanger Gets Two

Letang has been suspended 2 games for his boarding hit to Burmistrov during last night’s loss in Winnipeg.  Here’s Shanaban explaining the call [link]. Shanny calls out that Burmistrov maintains his course and Kris finishes the check without trying to minimize impact.  He also cites Tanger’s fine in April of last year for a boarding […]

Do Not Like

Kris Letang will face a hearing with the NHL Dept of Player Safety today regarding his hit on Alex Burmistrov in the third period of last night’s game against Winnipeg [link].  He received a minor penalty for boarding on the play.  If suspended, it would likely begin (and hopefully end) with tonight’s game in Minnesota. I […]

What comes after 17?

Welcome to another edition of “What’s James Neal Doing today?” here at JamesNeal.com.  Oh, right.  Thanks to Dawn & Chuck for sharing the love to other teams. He’ll have a new highlight reel soon, but in this Stars reel you can see why Headmaster Shero was all about getting Nealer on board in the ‘Burgh. […]

I can't take anymore OT.

Please take a moment to enjoy the titles of NHL.com’s highlight reel from last night’s Penguins/Capitals game.  Intentional or unintentional innuendo hilarity? Since I’m sure you all heard me screaming, you know the Nealmobile scored two goals.  The second on request – I literally said, “Please score!” and he did.  Immediately.  I like a man […]

YESYESYESYESYESYESYES. Yes!

Real or not real?  Sidney Crosby cleared for full contact.  I have tears in my eyes.  Intern Jeff Skinner is wearing frequency-cancelling headphones but can still hear the screaming.  My birthday continues unabated. I’m wearing my Pens socks and had my Pens hat on this morning, but I should have just gone for the full jersey […]

Pens Win Home Opener

Last night before the Pens home opener, look who got interviewed?  My birthday indeed. The Nealmobile also had a goal, along with Dupuis, Cooke and Park in the Pens 4-1 win over Florida.  Tanger had another assist and leads the NHL in both points (6) and assists (5).  And hair.  Flower leads the League with […]

Birthday Barn Burner

Thanks for the birthday wishes and to Chuck for the birthday, er… show.  Another great birthday show was was last night at the Capitals/Lightning game! Points for all – except the big names.  Each team had 10 players on the score sheet, without contributions from Ovi, Backstrom, Green, Semin (until the shootout), Stamkos, St. Louis […]

James Neal Cut His Hair

Is that a good enough reason to post?  Gator says she can’t learn more about hockey if that’s all I ever talk about.  So the Nealmobile is helping me out – while he did in fact cut his hair, he is also playing like a BEAST so I can demonstrate the importance of statistics.  He’s […]

Mikey Monday: Game Over

Gator and I had the best time ever at the Caps Home Opener on Saturday. First of all, the warm-up skate.  Mike Green, no helmet, cruising around like the Fresh Prince in Summertime – “Two miles an hour so everybody sees you.”  Yes, he’s fresh from the barber shop and basketball courts in the summer […]

Pomp and Circumstance

This whole grad school business is going to seriously cut into my hockey watching time. Class this semester is on Thursdays, which means that I’m going to have to tape alot of games this year, only to watch them when I get home at 9:30pm. Chuck no likey. Yesterday, I taped the Bruins game (natch) […]

A Few Sweet Dudes

You knew it was coming.  Captain Serious cannot be outdone in any category (especially his own category) – he was just saving the best for last.  Taking a (really too obvious but keep doing squats and we don’t care) page from 24/7, Blackhawks TV once again brings you the best hockey programming around.  Carter, Lindsay and […]

And the award goes to…

NEALMOBILE for the first goal of the Penguins season!  Get it, baby.  It’s going to be a great year. Stop, you can’t even!  James Neal is trending WORLDWIDE.  How many Tweets did I write?!?!

Making This Look Easy

Someone had a big night last night. Not just goals, but beauties!  And a little hows-your-mother with his old pee-wee teammate PK Subban there at the end.  Don’t get between Stamkos and the net, kindergarten.  Meanwhile, in the Squats Department: Does that say what I think it says – he can squat 450 lbs?  Like […]
