James Neal Cut His Hair

Is that a good enough reason to post?  Gator says she can’t learn more about hockey if that’s all I ever talk about.  So the Nealmobile is helping me out – while he did in fact cut his hair, he is also playing like a BEAST so I can demonstrate the importance of statistics.  He’s […]

Mikey Monday: Game Over

Gator and I had the best time ever at the Caps Home Opener on Saturday. First of all, the warm-up skate.  Mike Green, no helmet, cruising around like the Fresh Prince in Summertime – “Two miles an hour so everybody sees you.”  Yes, he’s fresh from the barber shop and basketball courts in the summer […]

Foxy Friday: Patrick Kane

… Did the sky fall? I know what you’re thinking – there’s some kind of Upstate NY voodoo hypnosis going on or Kaner figured out how to roofie via Twitter.  But I’m going to go ahead and say it: Damn, Patrick.  Best use of off-season. Kaner had wrist surgery in July and is back on […]

A Few Sweet Dudes

You knew it was coming.  Captain Serious cannot be outdone in any category (especially his own category) – he was just saving the best for last.  Taking a (really too obvious but keep doing squats and we don’t care) page from 24/7, Blackhawks TV once again brings you the best hockey programming around.  Carter, Lindsay and […]

And the award goes to…

NEALMOBILE for the first goal of the Penguins season!  Get it, baby.  It’s going to be a great year. Stop, you can’t even!  James Neal is trending WORLDWIDE.  How many Tweets did I write?!?!

Mikey Monday: I Got Goals

Mike had a goal and an assist in last night’s Caps vs. Blackhawks game, just to make sure I had something to cheer about. Mike talked afterward about30-35 min/game being too much at the pace of today’s NHL – he’s had issues with mental and physical fatigue because of total TOI.  It’ll be interesting to […]

Your Dreams, Come True

It’s like Christmas, when you wake up to presents and the high likelihood of someone getting drunk and being publicly inappropriate! Patrick Kane is on Twitter: @88PKane We believe that Kaner has grown up (not too much!) and probably won’t suffer from what I like to call “Don’t Drink and Hockey.”  Symptoms include having to […]

Mikey Monday: Share the Love

The Capitals Convention was Saturday – Gator and I are now we’re double-extra-super excited for hockey season.  Oh, and this. No big deal. The day started with Gator and Slapshot fist-pumping around 11 AM (it’s never too early).  As you can see we are already holding beers. Liz got to see a real live Red […]

Sunday with the Pens

The Penguins hosted a town hall-style meeting today for the season ticket holders and any woman under the age of dead. You can watch the highlight video [link] and bask in the combined happiness of these guys.  No one bothers to ask Geno why he’s wearing Ovi’s jeans.  Watch Sid take the ice… we see […]

Mikey Monday: Part II

Here at Mike Green World Domination HQ,  we are REALLY excited about there being a hockey game today.  So we had a staff meeting, and said “What could be even better?  Let’s go for the extra dose of awesome.” Here it is, in the form of Mike pushing a little girl on a swing.  While wearing moccasins. […]

Mikey Monday: Back in Action

I’m late again this week, because my Vespa broke down and I had to wait for Brooks to come and fix it (in a suit, in the rain).  No really I was at a wedding this weekend.  Caps training camp started and @spanrows sent us lovely evidence that Mikey sharpened his hair during the off season. […]

Crosby Eats a Cookie

Every year this happens, and it isn’t to me. Of course if he came to my house, Mr. Pants would open the door in a Caps shirt (or better, my girl-sized Crosby jersey).  There would be banging and scuffling from the closet.  They would pretend to ignore it until the muffled sounds of ‘O Canada’ could […]

OK – This Made Even Me Laugh.

And I don’t like San Jose but they have an AWESOME PR team who makes these OUTRAGEOUSLY funny campaigns. Let the ad wars begin. This one’s for you Pants since you love Logan – post-rookie of your life.

Birthday Boy: Jordan Staal

It’s JStaal’s birthday!  Jordan turns 17 today (okay 23).  He got a birthday post last season, but we never get tired of this guy.  And he knows it. Last season, Jordan has some injury issues.  He might be as clumsy as me and Chuck, but we’re not 6’4″ and don’t have quite so far to […]

Sidney Crosby Prayer Circle

Something is up today.  I mysteriously turned off my alarm without knowing and was woken by a bird that sounded exactly like R2D2 just as I dreamed of crash landing in a swamp in the Dagobah System. Then I poured OJ in my Cheerios.  Seriously. It must be the event I’ve been trying to ignore […]

Happy Birthday to Us!

What’s Up, Ya Sieve? turns 1 today! So you know what that mean… Cake. Mexican Coca-Colas. Office Dance Party. More cake. Glitter…so much glitter… and this… 365 days and here we are! We’ve had almost 200,000 hits, which we can honestly say we never expected.  We thought we’d be lucky if we got 200, not counting the 195 […]

Birthday Boy: James Neal

Happy 24th birthday to the Nealmobile!  James Neal is 24 today.  And this season he’s going to score 250 goals alongside Crosby. An exhaustive three minute Google search revealed that James like The Wedding Crashers, vanilla ice cream and music by Dierks Bentley.  I believe that’s playing in my car right now. Hey, this video is […]

Hurricane, Not Hockey

Excuse me while I go off-topic for a minute here. You may have seen CNN, Good Morning America or other news coverage of the Upstate NY and Vermont towns devastated or completely destroyed by Hurricane Irene.  My hometown area was one of the worst hit: It’s the mountains, in the country.  We don’t do flooding. […]

Work. It. Out.

I… I, er…. um…  what?  Oh.  Here at Mike Green World Domination HQ, I had two thoughts immediately upon seeing this. 1) Sweet baby Jesus in the manger. 2) Should have saved that HP joke, because it’s better here: I just died so hard I turned Mike Green into a horcrux.  Alas, you know the truth. […]

I Can't Take It Anymore

If I ignore this long enough, maybe it will just go away.  It’ll be October and he’ll be out there and everything will be right with the world.  I don’t care if you hate Sid and the Pens or rainbows and cupcakes and money.  You cannot want to see a premiere player out of the […]
