I AM GETTING EXCITED! Like Jesse Spano-on-pills excited. Less than two weeks until hockey starts and I should warn you: I may go this entire season using only gifs from Sherlock. I am laaaaaaaaaaate to this fandom but it really explains Life, the Universe, and Everything. (Double Martin Freeman nerd-reference there, for anyone still with me.) […]
D Magazine has undertaken the arduous task of determining The 10 most Eligible Men in Dallas. There are 5 candidates per week, 5 weeks of voting and in the end, 10 winners. Or really just nine guys and Jamie Benn. This magnificent example of democracy in action has inspired us to campaign on Jamie’s behalf. So […]
With no warning, as I strolled through Whole Foods, I saw this on my phone: You better believe I thought I’d shuffled off this mortal coil, right there in front of the bulk lentils. I wondered how, in the distant future, when my husband met me in the afterlife I would explain that picture of Jonathan Toews that had […]
In all honesty, this year’s #CAMP montages have left us a little MEH. We’re not saying we don’t like them – we just don’t love them. Day 3’s video would have been another mediocre offering but was salvaged by two things: impossibly tight super hero t-shirts and Michael Del Zotto’s samurai ponytail. MDZ’s hair has […]
At this time of the year, with the NHL season tantalizingly close, we are in desperate need of something to satiate our hockey hunger. Normally, we are good with a cheese platter, a few bottle of wine, and Miracle on the DVR. But lately we’ve been so hungry that we are getting HANGRY. Enter BioSteel’s #CAMP. This […]
It’s time again for Camp Biosteel! Always summer’s last hurrah, Camp Biosteel seems quickly followed by training camp, pre-season games and that first time since May our jeans leave the drawer. Per usual, Camp features a million ways to make us feel like a bump on a log this Tuesday morning: Hockey! Cross-training! Tyler […]
For all the athletes participating, it’s no surprise the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was covered on American SportsCenter this weekend. What’s surprising is they included the Crosby video – almost the entire thing – even before they showed LeBron or Justin Timberlake! Finally, it’s The World According to Pants. So naturally, it was time James Neal […]
We really miss hockey, but it’s safe to say this off-season is going down in history. Best ever? Well, it’s not the worst and I’m not waiting for Friday. The Ice Bucket Challenge began in July in support of ALS research. Read more about it here and hire Frates & Quinn for more marketing campaigns. The movement […]
Five minute post! I’m on computer-free vacaaaaaaaaaation for a week, but I could not leave without giving you this. [youtube.com=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3e4FZd8nuw] There’s a game I like to play with Lindsay and Alison. I call it: Inner/Outer monologue or Tomorrow’s Blog Post? In today’s episode: my reaction to watching this video. FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE, WEAR A TIGHTER […]
Every summer, the Blackhawks rub our faces in their excellence and team spirit by hosting yet another Blackhawks Convention. Sometimes they bring the Cup for extra envy-inducing purposes, but not even the Hawks can win that thing every year. So how do they make sure everyone gets their money’s worth? Dancing. It’s safe to say the […]
GAH. Chuck keeps posting pictures of Westlife from a hundred years ago and now the Oilers are back and my boyband meter is off the charts. Intern Jeff Skinner might get sent to Krispy Kreme to pickup lunch. This week is the 3rd Annual Jordan Eberle & Friends golf tournament for the Hospitals of Regina Foundation. The event included […]
Last night around midnight, just before I turned into a pumpkin, Twitter was all ablaze with the news that Crosby will have arthroscopic surgery on his right wrist this summer. While he claimed to be in perfect health throughout his much-maligned playoff performance, it appears that was somewhat untrue. Well, duh. No one is 100% […]
Whew! That a day that was. It felt like the every NHL player got dumped into a bingo spinner and names were plucked at near-random. Toss in a few hours of top-stress soccer and Tuesday never wore me out so much. The carnage is far from complete, but look who made a new life plan […]
Before anything major can happen today (we should have about 10 minutes, or unit Jason Spezza is official), let’s talk about what has already happened to our lives. I was out Friday night/most of Saturday with no phone. I apologize to those who texted and Tweeted , only to assume I’d retreated with a gallon of ice […]
Two posts in two days? This place is like Santa’s Workshop! Last night was the annual NHL Awards, or as we like to call it: the NHL A(wk)wards. Normally an unfunny, bumblingly-hosted, C-list celebfest, last night’s show was most of those things again. But better, no? I confess to liberal use of the mute button, […]
Hi strangers! Sorry we’ve been a invisible lately, but the holiday weekend brought sunshine and beer even if it couldn’t bring our hockey teams back to the playoffs. In fact, I’m not watching much hockey these days. If your team is still in, I envy you. If your team is out but you’re still watching anyway, […]
The season is officially over for both of us. We may have that summertime sadness, but it doesn’t mean we can’t be awesome. As the writer Hal Borland said, “No winter lasts forever; no spring skips it’s turn.” In fact, the off-season is what some people do best. Maybe they’ve been hanging around, waiting for us […]
The Dallas Stars’ season is over but weep not, interweb friends! You know what that means? More of this! And this! And hopefully much MUCH more of this! #HatTip to Tyler and Co. for even making the playoffs and for holding their own against the Ducks. I’m sure that Seguin would rather still be playing hockey, […]
I cannot go away for one second! It’s like Toy Story in here – I go outside and everything suddenly comes to life. Where to begin? #TeamEbs took over the NHL Instagram account and used the opportunity to make fun of Molly Ringwald. Our favorite boy band also introduced an act at the Canadian Country […]
For a while, I’ve been secretly lamenting the sad lack of behind the scenes Bruins footage. It seemed like every other team in the NHL was out there, posting juicy clips and video packages, giving their fans a delicious glimpse into their inner workings. All franchises except the Bruins. Perhaps they were and I just […]
