Breaking New$ For Number $, I mean #8

LA Kings just ended the stalemate with hottie Mc Hottieton Drew Doughty – $ years, I mean 8 years for $56 million donuts, I mean dollars. That means Drew can buy 56,565,656 diet cokes at $.99 each. Or 32,000,000 cupcakes at $1.75 each. Or 12,444,4444 4×4 at IN N OUT at $4.50 each. Now that […]

Is it October yet?!

In another edition of players we can only like until the season starts… Ryan Kesler will appear nude in ESPN Magazine’s “The Body” issue. More than 20 athletes will do the soap opera strategically-cover-your-business to pose for the annual issue – here’s the list [link]. Kes wanted to get a jump on the competition, so […]

Your Dreams, Come True

It’s like Christmas, when you wake up to presents and the high likelihood of someone getting drunk and being publicly inappropriate! Patrick Kane is on Twitter: @88PKane We believe that Kaner has grown up (not too much!) and probably won’t suffer from what I like to call “Don’t Drink and Hockey.”  Symptoms include having to […]

One More for the Road

I’m just going to get this out of the way now.  We miss you, MAX TALBOT and wish you lots of happiness, pool boy commercials and mustaches.  (Well, Dawn doesn’t.) But starting in 7 days, we’re going to have to kick your ass. On the bright side, it seems Max is being embraced by the […]

Tweet of the Day: I'm Score!

I downloaded the NHL Player Tracker app [link] for my Blackberry, so these guys can keep me amused at all times.  Does anyone know of teams with apps?  I could only find the Blackhawks because they were in the Top 50.  

Mikey Monday: Share the Love

The Capitals Convention was Saturday – Gator and I are now we’re double-extra-super excited for hockey season.  Oh, and this. No big deal. The day started with Gator and Slapshot fist-pumping around 11 AM (it’s never too early).  As you can see we are already holding beers. Liz got to see a real live Red […]

Sunday with the Pens

The Penguins hosted a town hall-style meeting today for the season ticket holders and any woman under the age of dead. You can watch the highlight video [link] and bask in the combined happiness of these guys.  No one bothers to ask Geno why he’s wearing Ovi’s jeans.  Watch Sid take the ice… we see […]

NHL Preview: ESPN Magazine

The October 3rd ESPN Magazine comes with this cover: The feature “Why Boston is Better than You” notes that the Bruins (and most NHL teams in general) do not use advanced metrics as a statistical model for designing teams.  My favorite part: “The Stanley Cup they won last year, while a lovely capstone for Boston […]

Deep Dish!

I know I’ve been slacking!  Lindsay is all over this. David Toews got swapped to the Blackhawks and has moved into Jonanthan’s apartment.  Sorry ladies, he’s in your spot.  Here’s Jon talking about how you can someday be a better roommate that Little Bro.  He even cracks a joke in this video – it makes […]

I Said This How Many Weeks Ago – Drew?

I need my West Coast honey … You turned down a rumored 9 years /61.2 million. That would buy you a Krispy Kreme Franchise! OK – Tim Hortons – you could re-name it Doughty’s Donut Holes. I don’t care. Just sign. I know you don’t want to be tied down, well, not in that sense, nudge, nudge, […]

Crosby Eats a Cookie

Every year this happens, and it isn’t to me. Of course if he came to my house, Mr. Pants would open the door in a Caps shirt (or better, my girl-sized Crosby jersey).  There would be banging and scuffling from the closet.  They would pretend to ignore it until the muffled sounds of ‘O Canada’ could […]

BizNasty Is At It Again.

So Pants tweeted about this too and evidently she wasn’t the only one to call Ovi out on his meniacal twitter laughter. But it was accompanied by this: Coming from a man whose twitter photo is posing with Tony the Tiger? Really? I’m sure this will be settled on the ice. Oh, if Biz ever get’s […]

Speaking of Capt. Awesome.

Ovi crashed the Caps rookie camp yesterday and skated with the newbies! He sported the fashionable black jersey with his named slapped on the back and skated along with all the other young bucks. For being slagged as not so hands on (I protest & wish!) and for supposedly not being in shape – so not […]

What A Good Sport!

I swear before  I saw the photo I thought this might have been Pants & Gator or Pants & her friend NY Ranger fan or Pants & Chuck or Chuck & a friend. Some combination above. And they were going to run 10 blocks to get me Ovi’s autograph and tell him how much I love him since I was stuck […]

NHL Media Tour Reception

It’s obviously a tough time for everyone in the wake of the KHL plane crash, and I think NHL.com did a nice job of highlighting last night’s Media Tour reception with a really toned-down video [link].  Kudos to them. There are quick shots of Kaner, Ovi, Shane Doan, Squishy, Corey Perry, Logan Couture (short hair!) […]

Sidney Crosby Prayer Circle

Something is up today.  I mysteriously turned off my alarm without knowing and was woken by a bird that sounded exactly like R2D2 just as I dreamed of crash landing in a swamp in the Dagobah System. Then I poured OJ in my Cheerios.  Seriously. It must be the event I’ve been trying to ignore […]

Work. It. Out.

I… I, er…. um…  what?  Oh.  Here at Mike Green World Domination HQ, I had two thoughts immediately upon seeing this. 1) Sweet baby Jesus in the manger. 2) Should have saved that HP joke, because it’s better here: I just died so hard I turned Mike Green into a horcrux.  Alas, you know the truth. […]

The New Black

Power at my house could be out till Friday.  If I had anything this orange I wouldn’t need lights. This is hard, and it hurts.  It also looks like the place Harry Potter wakes up half-dead next to fetal horcrux Voldemort.  You can stay there Max, but you can choose to leave.  This doesn’t have to […]

Sign Already – Damn it! I Command You!

Ok – so MelTing sent me this last week and I have been ‘in dispose’ as of late. Sorry sweet Mel – partner in DDTBG crime. But it doesn’t change two facts: ONE: Drew Doughty STILL hasn’t signed with the LA KINGS and TWO: it’s true that SOME HOW he got hotter over the summer. […]
