I went to work early this morning and put the Calder Trophy on Pants’ desk. It’s really shiny. Then I drew a (second) mustache on her Logan Couture poster and now I’m buying myself a huge breakfast on the corporate card. I’m not bragging, but I did win. And Vegas was really fun, even if […]
Congratulations to the Boston Bruins and to Chuck!
Apparently there’s an episode of The Office where Kelly yells, “Fashion show at work! Fashion show at work!” The WUYS girls are all over that. I’m excited for the NHL Awards, but frankly I can’t be bothered with what to wear. I’m just not that into fashion. And no, Pants, I am not calling Mike […]
Sidney Crosby met with Dr. Michael Collins, the specialist who’s been monitoring his condition since he sustained a concussion in January, on Tuesday and is starting his summer program of off-ice workouts. Penguins General Manager Ray Shero said Crosby will be joined by his longtime personal trainer for the next 2-3 weeks as he works […]
Last night’s game was the most exhilarating, exciting, intense Stanley Cup Finals game that I have seen in recent memory. It also happened to be totally crappy and soul-sucking. As the tornado watch loomed over the city of Boston, the thunder boomed, and lightning lit up the sky like a Polish dyskotekya, the Bruins were […]
It’s time for the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals. At the end, I will no longer be able say “Defending Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks” and I’ll be so sad. But maybe Chuck will get to say that about the Bruins!! Is everyone ready? Tyler Seguin’s all: While RK17 is like: And you know those cute […]
Steven’s break-up day interview was less sad than expected [video]. Also on the bright side, his busted face is healing very nicely. Little puffy-eyed shiner action just makes him look tough. The beard was good while it lasted, eh? One of our favorites this season. He even had a few smiles for the summertime. Well […]
Sorry, that’s so cheesy. It’s official, the Atlanta Thrashers are moving to Winnipeg [link]. This is the second time an NHL team will leave Atlanta for Canada – but they’re really broken up this time. They’re not getting back together. Unless they do. The only way this really affects us is that Chuck and I […]
Chuck (Ron) and Pants (Harry), circa Bruins/Lightning Game 7. Stamkos gets hit in the face: The Bruins score to take a 1-0 lead: The game ends: Yes Chuck, that really happened!! Congratulations to the Bruins. Make room for me on your wagon because we’re going to Vancouver!
I have no problem saying that hockey players are tougher than other athletes. Sure each sport has tough guys and heroic stories, but those are exceptions. This is the norm: Steven Stamkos, you’re a BAMF. He’s also 21 and in his first ever playoff run, and facing his second game 7 elimination situation. What does […]
After Tampa Bay beat Boston in Tampa Bay for Game 6, Nathan Horton purposely picked up a water bottle and sprayed a Tampa Bay fan with a water bottle and then threw it at the fan as he left the ice for the locker room. Yes, the fan was yelling something at him but so were […]
There is NOTHING to do. Last night felt like the first night of summer – even though the Cup final isn’t even set, there was no hockey on and it gave me pre-traumatic stress disorder. Somewhere in Boston, Chuck is *freaking out* right now. Since I already have the new Lady Gaga album, this is […]
It’s here, it’s here! And it affirms my math that my wedding is after the last possible game so Chuck and I are not ducking out of the reception to check scores. Not everyone understands us. Bonus: No conflict with either of the two NKOTBSB shows that Gator and I are going to. Because that […]
Chuck is inconsolable today about having the face Game 7 tomorrow night in Boston. Baby, this is the story of my life. Try to remember that drama is what the playoffs are about. It’s why we love them. That sick-to-your-stomach feeling that ends in leaping around the living room or lying face down on the […]
The only upside to this is now Logan Couture and I have more time to practice the Justin Bieber dance routine we’re going to perform when he wins the Calder Trophy in Vegas. Okay Eastern Conference. Give me something to care about!
Bieksa the Berserker was the only one who knew where the biscuit was on the ice … with a freaky deaky goal in double OT and down go the Sharks. It’s 17 years to the day that Vancouver claims the Western Conference title in a double OT as well and will face either Boston or Tampa Bay for […]
The Atlanta Thrashers may or may not be moving to Winnipeg. Mostly because they have to find this guy first and make sure he’s sobered up: Canadian Man calls 911 and demands to have Winnipeg Jets back Apparently the move will be announced Tuesday. I had a great (and very blurry) time at a Thrashers […]
A Canucks fan flashed Ben Eager last night while he was sitting in the penalty box and this time it wasn’t the green guys! The Versus feed didn’t catch it. God bless Canada because if you were watching the CBC feed, you got it live and not memorex baby! Those puppies were pressed to the […]
Ever want to know what a day in the life of Ryan(e) Clow(e) is like? Well, my Sieves, your wish is granted… Pre-game Arts & Crafts Call it a Cash Cab, ‘cuz he be money! Marleau-Clowe-Thornton Added bonus – Joey sans shirt! But where are your muscles, guy?
I leave the Bay Area and NOW YOU WIN!?!?! If my other teams were in it I’d be so mad at you. But beggars can’t be choosers and you guys let us drink on Caltrain so… YAY SHARKS. I hug you! Not only did you beat Detroit (insert me making siren noise here), but you […]
