I never imagined I’d thank the Rangers for anything, but the day has come. Reminder: Chris Kreider went to BC. See also: I hate myself. The Rangers took to the beach in Venice to shake off their Game 1 OT loss and work on their tans. Pale guys with beards – that’s what playoff hockey is all […]
The Kings’ win over the Blackhawks last night ended hopes for a Stanley Cup Final I would actually care about. While Sad Kaner Face is something I cannot handle today, I will admit that this is brilliant: We all know that I hate the Rangers, but I am surprised to admit that I don’t hate them […]
It’s days – or Conference Finals – like this when I wish the Blackhawks were my favorite team. Wouldn’t that be fun? I like the Hawks a lot, and they bailed me out of some frustrated west coast years when I couldn’t watch Eastern Conference teams. But it’s not the same, cheering for someone you […]
Allow me to pour my heart into a post in the very moment the Penguins have lost a Game 7. For starters, I hate the Rangers with a passion that you can’t understand unless you’re in your 24th year of hating a team with a fire of a thousand suns. 1990 was the year I […]
Penguins love me back, lead series vs. Rangers 3-1 It was another good night at Camp Pants, but let’s not get too excited yet. I mean, in-game it’s fine to look like this picture I found by searching “Gibbons gif:” It’s exactly what Penguins’ fans looked like after the gif I really wanted: He meant to do […]
I had a good night. Did you guys have a good night? Fleury throws another shutout, Pens lead Rangers 2-1 MAF had his second shutout in as many days, standing on his head at times to keep the NYR off the board in Game 3. Not bad for a goalie who has playoff confidence problems, right? […]
Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone! I got to wear shorts and a tank top this weekend AND the Penguins won last night, so I don’t even hate Mondays. It’s Day 20 of the playoffs, and if you spent the past few days enjoying the sun, here’s what was happening on TV: Penguins and Rangers series […]
Round 2 is upon us like prom season, and everyone finally has their dates. How are you feeling? Like the prettiest girl in the room? Anyone afraid someone else might wear the same dress? I’m nervous and we definitely need a chaperone. We bid Round 1 farewell with this announcement: I am no longer 100% right. Thanks […]
Well, that was a night. Penguins take years off my life, defeat Blue Jackets in series: 4-2 What are we supposed to do? NOT hope for leads because they get snatched away? NEVER want a power play for fear of giving up a shorty? I don’t know which end is up except the Penguins won […]
I didn’t get to watch much hockey after Friday night, but the playoffs wait for no DVR. In case anyone else (mostly) missed the weekend festivities… The networks have all kinds of on-hiatus hockey players pitching in as commentators during these playoffs. Let us make the offer official: Alex Pietrangelo, you and your currently unemployed […]
One more night in the books! Welcome back to my way to be sure that I have noticed every playoff game around the League for three minutes. Some of you probably called in “overtime” to work and are just waking up. Blues:4, Blackhawks: 3 Look, overtime is one thing. Triple overtime is two more things […]
I was really going to do a post about this Winnipeg Jets’ cookbook… so close. They Instagrammed something and being married to a chef, I was hooked! Sadly the video is a yawn but those wings looked pretty delish. It’s for charity and so, yeah. Off to the interwebs to find something to care about. […]
Welcome back, NHL hockey. Before I watch my first evening game in weeks tonight, the Olympic break needs a nod to non-Olympians. Not everyone went to Sochi – or stayed home watching ice dancing. Without posting the entire Tumblr tag (Honestly, where do people find this stuff?), it’s safe to say you wish you went […]
Sometimes life is a movie, and I wrote it. Getting to the gold medal game was no easy feat for Canada. Getting up at 7 AM on a Sunday was not easy for me. Good thing we both brought our A games. If I scripted yesterday’s gold medal match, it would go something like: Jonathan […]
I’ve spent the last 21.5 hours searching for the perfection .gif to capture my feelings about hockey. Team USA won. Canada almost lost to Latvia. Then they won. But John Tavares left the game with a leg injury. And didn’t return. Now he’s out for the rest of the NHL regular season with a torn […]
I love the Olympics. I love all kinds of people on my Facebook timeline talking about getting up at 7 AM to watch hockey. I can’t get those people to go to free NHL games with me all season, but the Olympics make them crazy. Today, the USA made it worth their while. America has […]
Hello, friends. Let us never again be so busy we can’t blog for almost two weeks. Luckily the NHL and Olympic Committee timed the men’s hockey break almost perfectly with ours, and today we are both back in action. Come on in for an awkward celebratory hug. We have enjoyed the women’s hockey very much, […]
There are just a few days left before half the NHL heads for the Olympics and the rest, apparently, heads for Mexico. I thought we’d take a little look at everyone who had something fun on their homepage – while packing our passports and flip flops, in case anyone invites us not to Russia. Last […]
Guess what day it is? (I’ve been waiting a long time to make that truly terrible joke. If you don’t know: GEICO Hump Day commercial.) Mike Green scored two goals last night, including the OT game-winner. Including me jumping off the couch, from under a pile of blankets, which is the equivalent of true love […]
If I were the Penguins coach (or a mom, high school principal, etc.), I imagine there would be a lot of exchanges like this one from the new episode of In the Room [video]: James Neal being a shit. Me not stopping till Neal owned up to his problem out loud. Kunitz’s face. Followed immediately […]
