Who’s excited for tonight? Nervous? On Monday, Rookie of My Life Logan Couture posted this. It made me all teary-eyed like that Green Day “Time of Your Life” song. Not that 19 years is a long time in the hockey world. Or that you’d rather play 7 than win in 4. But way to be […]
So this happened last night. And if you expected something else, you must be new around here. Gator was particularly excited, and posted a photo of an Ice Girl picking up an octopus on my door this morning. She had faith. And we’re ready for Thursday’s Game 7. I want to rock my Sharks jersey […]
These Capitals Exit Interviews are depressing, but if you’re feeling crappy today (I am) it kind of captures the mood. Nicky brushed his hair and everything [video]. His ESL sounds extra-sad. Why does he like the Braves? Did he have TBS as a kid? Mike, let the facial hair go [video]. Fidget is in full […]
What do you guys want to talk about today? The Canucks win. Somewhere Shea Weber’s beard defeats all attempts to be removed. That thing had a building permit and poured a foundation, it’s going to be a hot summer in wherever Shea is from. Ryan Kessler ditches the secret identity ruse and goes full-on super […]
So the Sharks are up 3-0 on the Red Wings. And Stephanie Tanner is pissed! That’s the same face Gator is making right now in her office, partially because she’s from the D and partially because Stamkos is not coming back to DC for her. Last night was the 2nd OT game of this round […]
The Tampa Bay bus? Yeah, it went this way.
There’s a proverb that says night is always darkest before the dawn. So the darkness is Mike Green’s undisclosed lower body injury that kept him on the bench toward the end of the 3rd last night. Apparently he’s walking with a “severe limp” (gleaned from Twitter). I know that he’ll cowboy up and play tonight […]
I have to back Dawn up on this one. What the actual hell is going on, Caps? Is it asking too much from you (Mike Green) to, um, I don’t know… PLAY at all during the 3rd period? I know BB put you in time out. He probably sent you to bed hungry. And I’m […]
Whenever someone messes up in a Caps game I think, “Thank God it wasn’t Mike.” But last night, it was. I hung around Verizon for about 30 min yesterday after the Nationals game, deciding if I should spend way too much money on a hockey ticket or save it for Game 5. If there is […]
EEEEEEEEEEEE! Gator and I are going to Caps game tonight! We just bought tickets on StubHub for $62 each. WHAT?! Good thing we were at work really early before everyone in DC wakes up and realizes Round 2 starts today. I only slept 4 hours last night and we’re both wearing blue. Commence emergency maneuvers! […]
I woke up this morning to find that yesterday did indeed happen. The worst 24 hours of my sports life have left me pretty devastated, but my coworker and fellow hockey fan Gator left this on my desk: Fortified on sugar and sympathy, I feel strong enough to write something. It’s been quite a year […]
The Blackhawks’ game seven, 2-1 OT loss to the Canucks last night was absolutely heartbreaking. It was also an incredible hockey game. Alex Burrows scored just 2:43 in, and that goal would stand for almost the entire night. Every Canuck player seemed 10 feet tall at times – the Hawks couldn’t go through or around […]
I’m a mess today. Crushed over the Pens loss last night but SO PSYCHED for the Hawks game because it is ON in Vancouver! I will definitely need an office dance party today (in my Toews shirt). I read a quote (which I can’t find now) that said over the last 3 games, Vancouver hasn’t […]
Last night watching the Pens game, I was all… Listen, Stamkos. I wanted you to have some luck. Not spend the whole 3rd period with your helmet off trying to convince us it’s okay if we have to see you for another round. We are impervious to your blond-ness. You didn’t even do anything last […]
The Nashville Predators advanced to Round 2… and the beard lives on. Shea Weber’s beard is the top ranking search term around here every day. The Foxy Friday alum has also been nominated for the Norris Trophy. That’s a pretty badass few days. They join the Red Wings and Capitals in the waiting room to […]
You know in A Christmas Story, when Ralphie shoots his eye just like everyone said he would? Well Mike took another shot to the head on Saturday. I swear he’s magnetic. This dinger actually knocked a few screws out of Mike’s helmet… [video] Our immediate Mike Green Prayer Circle seemed to work though – he […]
Holy Canada. Last night’s Blackhawks/Canucks game was one cake-eater away from being The Mighty Ducks. So much drama that someone had to write this thing in advance. I was fangirl-ing away on the couch. We open on the Madhouse on Madison. Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo is having a tough time – dethroned as team captain […]
You don’t even KNOW how happy this makes me. Nealmobile got a commercial for his double OT game-winner! And the announcers had it spot on as it happened… I’ve got the chills! Time to run around the block. Is it Saturday yet?!
IT WORKED!! All your wishing and hoping and posting and Tweeting worked. Whatever we did, it might have helped. The Blackhawks are still in it. They tore open a 5-0 lead in the second period on 2G and 1A each from Duncan Keith and Marion Hossa. Patty Kane added one and thus went Roberto Luongo […]
PENS WIN! So they had a two goal lead, let it get away and had to slog into double OT to take a 3-1 lead in the series. A win is a win is a win and last night… James Neal, you stud! Way to make up for a lack of production in a big way. […]
