The NHL’s biggest mainstream media events of the season are over, but man were they good. HBO’s 24/7 finale was a beauty; the Winter Classic was worth all that hype in the end. Highlights from the last episode: – Matt Cooke’s son in the matching suit. That is gangsta. And then his dad throws some […]
Pick your side and step right up to snorefest, I mean, SCOREFEST 2011! It’s Slewfoot Sid verses stampeding Stamkos! One night only! Not really but it sounds good since they will be playing each other again but when you have two scoring machines like these two *ouch* my – fingers – cramping – sorry – Ovi – must- […]
The Pens have an All-Star reaction video up [Video]. It looks like the Grinch snuck in and cleared out their locker room. We can’t get 10 extra seconds to let Tanger talk? Bonus clip of him licking his lips while Sid talks – he could be thinking what I’m thinking. Apparently The Hat has not […]
Okay, okay! It’s funny! (Bonus hearts for Steve Levy.) Dawn hates Varly… does this change your mind? [New video link]
Remember way back on November 15 when I posted my NHL All-Star Game starting lineup? Well 4 out of my 6 were just named All-Stars by the general fan voting! Once again, I control the Universe. Mikey was not on the list, but I’ll take Duncan Keith FTW! Also, Flower makes me a little, uh… […]
Jonathan Toews is a stud. Two weeks? Hell no. He’s be back on the ice right now vs. Los Angeles because he didn’t get the message that Steph and I cancelled our trip when he got hurt. So we’re here, and he’s there. Communication fail. We should be sitting with his mom in the box […]
Now that the Winter Classic has been rescheduled for 8 PM ET tomorrow, I don’t have to wake up early to watch it on the West Coast. Rejoice! Feel free to do this tonight, but put on a Crosby shirt.
The ‘stache is gone. Hallelujah. [Video] Somebody looks like a sleepy puppy. Also, I really like this sweatshirt. Not a great sign that it’s all he needs to wear outside in December, but hey. They skated and the game is on (for now). Bonus: Jordan lost the shootout and had to run to the upper […]
I had no one to yell/text/tweet to last night while watching 24/7. The vase in my living room, however, is a huge hockey fan. You can watch the whole show online at Youtube 247NHL. Sadly for Dawn, Ovi kept his pants on the whole time. Huzzah for the rest of us. Highlights! – Ben Lovejoy’s […]
Today’s stories are brought to you in order of importance. No. In order of who I think is hottest. (So basically like every day here, right?) 1) Crosby’s point streak ended last night at 25 games and I bet Dawn was ringing a church bell in Spokane. Sid was pouty-pants after the game, probably as […]
Okay, I wrote the whole post below before I saw this video feature that Mike did with NBC in DC. Mike makes lunch, wears a bracelet, does a puzzle and talks about seeing a sports psychologist over the summer. I will turn this whole world into the Mike Green Fan Club if I have my […]
Darryl Sutter has resigned his post as GM of the Calgary Flames amid the tougher-than-usual season they are having. Their current record of 16-18-3 ranks them 14th of 15 teams in the Western Conference. They’ve scored more goals (100) than the 6 teams above them in points, and their goals-against is just 6.7 above the […]
My girl Kimmy has coined the perfect phrase to describe Mike Green, Sid and half the rest of the Pens and Caps on HBO’s 24/7 Episode 2: ADORKABLE. It’s absolute perfection. If I had the setup, I would have stayed up ALL night screencapping Until then, here are the highlights that I can remember screaming […]
Sid, Ovi and Jeremy Roenick will make a guest appearance on The Price is Right on Monday, December 20. I saw this as a Tweet last night and thought I must be hallucinating. Apparently not. The trio will introduce an NHL-themed showcase that includes a trip to Pittsburgh for the highly anticipated 2011 Bridgestone NHL […]
My power to influence the universe continues to impress – I pick Ryane Clowe for Foxy Friday and what happens? He scores 2 goals vs. the Blackhawks on Saturday night and singlehandedly wins the game! He’s named NHL First Star of the Week! I should start gambling. Alas, I am mad at Ryane because he […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs fans are so upset with their team they’re throwing things. Waffles, to be exact. Read more. I can totally explain this. One year my mom got a new waffle iron and went nuts. Waffles are a breakfast delight, but she was not so contained. We had waffles with soup, waffles topped […]
I write something serious and no one cares! Oh well, I care. Way out West, where hockey cities are few and far between, I look forward to 4 PM every day because I can get a game on the radio at work. Not so bad after all, eh? – 12 Point Spread – Look again. […]
The Penguins winning streak is at 11 games (14 unbeaten counting 1 shootout loss) and Sidney has 200 goals in 3 games. Or something like that. All signs point to awesome… except for this. All these guys are pranksters, right? Love a good practical joke? Well this is one. How many gross superstitions can I […]
Let’s talk about something serious for a minute. The 2010-11 NHL season is officially 2 months old today. With 60 days of hockey under your skates, what surprises you so far? What is going exactly as you expected? – NJ Devils: Even without beating the dead horse that is Kovalchuk (minus 17!), the Red Cross […]
With friends like these, who needs enemies? Sid and Ovi will be featured in the January issue of Vanity Fair. They may be dressed like waiters but it doesn’t take much to get us all riled up. NHL.com posted this behind-the-scenes video of the photoshoot. There’s also this teaser blog from Vanity Fair and this […]
