Let’s take this in baby steps and try not to get too carried away. Because we could go on for DAYS about All-Star Weekend (wait, we already have). First, everyone missed their flights to Raleigh. Patrick Kane was busy packing his “Louis V shades.” Mike Green and Ovi couldn’t fit two grown men and hockey […]
I hope you’ve cleared your schedules for All-Star weekend. If you’re not snowed in (Chuck) or 2839.97 miles away (me), please go to the events and report back! At least the free stuff, like… Red Carpet Arrivals [NHL.com] Saturday, prior to the Honda NHL SuperSkills, players will arrive at the RBC Center to a red […]
True story, circa 2006. The setting: Casa Vega restaurant, Los Angeles. We’re outside waiting for our table. I’m turned to the side talking to someone. The front door opens, people come out, I do not look up. A full 30 seconds later: Lisa: Shannon! Did you see? That was Wayne Gretzky! Me: WHAT?! NO! Why […]
Evidently not every thing on Mr. Duff is broken. According to my Star Magazine, Mr. and Mrs. Duff are expecting! While I didn’t want to spend $29.95 on the Hilary Duff site to try to confirm this for myself and I have been known to be very gullible, I don’t really believe everything I read in Star Magazine. But […]
We are just two minutes into tonight’s Penguins-New York Islanders game and there have been two fights already. I know they have a week off but for the love of all things hockey and Canadian, PLEASE DON’T HURT LETANG OR FLEURY tonight. Or you will screw my weekend. I’m just sayin’. I know there are a few […]
Who saw the season premiere of Modern Family on ABC? When the beloved station wagon starts rolling empty toward the cliff while they watch helplessly? The father jumps on the hood, starfish-style, in a desperate attempt to do something, anything. And his wife stands by and yells, “What’s the plan, Phil?!” Tell me NHL, what […]
Mike talked about his All-Star Game alternate captaincy before the Caps went out and spanked the Leafs [Video]. They play the Rangers today on Versus… damn, I wanted to watch Elk Hunter. The real All Star is Mike’s cowlick though – how do you even get a helmet on over this hair? And because you […]
The Caps had a great weekend! Nicky B. dropped his scoring drought-o-rama and Ovi has his 1oth career hat trick! Cheers all around! They held on to beat Toronto after the heart breaking loss last time when they were up 4-1. Holtby was in net and did an awesome job. Sorry kids but these two photos were just too awesome not […]
The NHL announced the Skills Competition format for this year’s All-Star Game. This has always been our favorite part of ASG weekend, because there is lots of skating without helmets. Lunchtime poll: Will Letang wears a helmet or not? He’d need a headband for sure but it’s a sin to cover up that hair. Maybe […]
Jonathan Toews scored his 100th career goal on Sunday. Way to go, JTown! Blackhawks TV did a nice little “Milestone Minute” on the event [Video] and it made me teary-eyed. He is the 4th-youngest Blackhawk to reach the century mark… wait. WHAT? Jonathan Toews is 22 years old and three guys beat him to the […]
Since NYRFan Stephanie is about to become my landlady, I was going to post Marion Gaborik’s goal extravaganza vs. Toronto last night. But I got distracted by the pop-up on the Rangers site: Let’s just say that if Steph could get back east, she would love to double down with these two. Last night’s game […]
On vacation, sans Center Ice, I discovered that the NHL is now on Hulu! So if you’d rather watch outdated hockey games you know the ending of than Underworld for the 80th time, now you can: www.hulu.com/nhl. The content is a little outdated, but you can watch condensed games (known as highlights to the rest […]
EStaaaaaaal and Nick Lidstrom are the 2011 All-Star Game Captains and I have to say WELL DONE, NHL. This is so fun already. And Eric is smiling. I haven’t been this excited about a Captain since Malcolm Reynolds. This is the ultimate olive branch because even if you hate the Wings (slowly raises hand), you […]
So the rumor mill has cranked back up again and supposedly Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff are back on the auction block even though, like a fat chick loves cup cakes – well let’s be honest we ALL LOVE those sweet delicious treats, Calgary keeps saying “No, No. No.” But media speculation is high as the trade deadline nears and those in the […]
Pretty much every team has posted their All-Stars’ reactions to being selected, so there are a ton of videos. But I like this one best – it’s Team Dawn and Team Pants. I think these two are the only Capitals NOT in a bromance, despite the enthusiasm of their on-ice hugging. [Video] PS: I still […]
The complete All-Star Game roster has been selected and let me tell you – HALF of my fantasy hockey team is on here. No wonder I’m killing it! There are tons of first-time All-Stars (21), though it kind of makes me wonder how some of these guys weren’t All-Stars last year. Steven Stamkos split the […]
Not a good weekend for some goalies. Tim Thomas ended up watching this one go straight down the five hole LITERALLY. Which was a complete oddity given that Timmy the Tank was playing so well. When I saw it happen live I was screaming at the TV and Mr. Cherrie because I had sent him to kitchen to get […]
Did Slewfoot Sid get his bell rung in the WC from Steckel or did he get it the next night during SCOREFEST 2011? That is the TOPIC THUNDER-GATE TODAY! Either way, the kid is down and out and snuggling with the Flower for a week and the Penguins have a big PR problem on their […]
Dawn is up in arms that I didn’t mention Handshake-Gate 2011, which I actually just forgot. Glad you brought that up! Because here is the single HBO FAIL for this whole series. They say it happened in every other Classic, but don’t believe everything you hear on TV. The Penguins did not line up for […]
The Russian WJC team was kicked off their flight home because they were too drunk! God bless-their-basically-under-aged-in-most-countries-but-Canada-hearts! We’ve all been there and done that and tomorrow I’m sure they will be wishing they hadn’t but will be remembering how much fun it was! You only live once! “The crew of flight 1266 (BUF-ATL) opted to […]
