Mikey Monday: High Five!

ONLY 5 MONDAYS until our first hockey game of the season!!   Gator, Mr. Pants and I bought tickets for the Blue Jackets @ Caps on Monday, Sept 26.  Tickets were $10.  DISCOUNT MONDAY! We will get bananas excited over a half-empty pre-season game.  Deprivation and too much sugar will do that.  We’ll be playoff-style freaking […]

Mikey Monday: Not Awkward

Every week, you try to ignore Monday.  You pull up your socks but still it won’t go away.  Monday is just so obvious and frankly intimidating that you turn your back and find something fascinating across the room.  Because if you can’t see Monday, then Monday can’t see you.  Right? I think Mike knows how […]

Hot or Not?

Chuck spent some quality time with Brent Burns this past weekend so I gotta ask, Hot or Not with his new tat? You make the call. Because I know if Pants wasn’t married already, this would be her DREAM BOY! Photo courtesy of Puck Daddy. BTW – his comment when asked about the fresh ink, “Hogwarts looks fun!” […]

Move Closer to the Screen

Sportchek’s new Crosby commercials are out!  Can I please live in Canada?  I believe it’s a magical place where things like this really happen… starring Sid as himself and an 8-year old kid as me.  Here’s the link – it’s even in French. 😉 Here’s the second one [link].  We miss his adorkableness something awful. And the […]

Oh my God, I love Twitter.

And I don’t care if you don’t understand apostrophes.

Mikey Monday: Countdown

Welcome to today’s edition of “Who Sounds More Canadian?” [link]  Okay, it’s from the ASG, but we still have Fidget vs. Squishy. Fidget wins, of course, since they are not speaking French.  (We would die.)  Also highlighted in this video: bad camerawork, Stamkos as a babysitter and “Hey Heidi, move your head.  We can’t see […]

Birthday Boy: Sidney Crosby

The One and Only turns 24 today.  Somewhere in Nova Scotia, he’s as anxious to get back to us as we are to him.  He’s been writing, but Mike Green keeps intercepting the mail (we never should have let him watch The Notebook). You can love Sid (me) or hate him (Dawn), but thanks to […]

Once Upon a Time in 1996…

Raise your hand if you asked Brian Rolston to your high school prom. Really, just me? There are a lot of hockey-related things I could fire my HS BFF for, but this is not one of them.  This was a solid decision back in the day.  Of course I knew he would say no, what […]

Mikey Monday: Heat Wave

It’s hot as hell outside and all I wanna do is this.  #isitoctoberyet ??

A Very Merry Un-Monday

Mike heard y’all were bored, so he Tweeted a photo of himself fishing with his dad [link].  I’m not into fishing, but if you can wear sweatpants I am game.  My Dad and I usually go skiing together, because I also enjoy snowpants. Chelski heard that Fidget and iCarly were back in DC today building a […]

Meet Us on the Back Nine

I wish I liked golf.  All I want to do is lay on that perfect grass and take a nap.  But WUYS could be persuaded to enjoy a day on the links for this… The charity event starts today in Winnipeg.  If they let WUYS have a team, you know we’d be driving the beverage […]

Mikey Monday: Save a Horse…

I’m actually posting this on Monday, how impressive!  The greatness of Stampede continues to bring us boots & buckles: Aw Nicky, such a good sport.  And Mr. Pants totally has that blue shirt, so I’m going to buy him one of those hats. Like this.  This photo definitely needs more thumbs up. Can we add […]

Fore! (No, they're a ten.)

Mikey hosted a charity golf tournament yesterday, benefiting KidSport Alberta.  Awww. In attendance were iCarly, Karl Alzner, Zach Boychuk, Cody Franson and Jordan Eberle.  And Nicky of course.  He was rocking a shorter haircut.  I may have enjoyed this photo for five whole minutes before noticing his hair. No word on who won the tournament […]

We Make Up with Max

Oh Max.  I cannot stay mad at you.  I needed a day to cool off and now I just want to hug you and say everything will be okay, except for that hideous sweater you’ll have to wear.  But your Christmas sweater was a good warm-up.  If anyone could pull off nuclear orange, it’s you. […]

TK FTW!

Pens re-sign Kennedy for 2 years! [NHL.com]  Right now I just wanna… and maybe… for about $2 million dollars. Tyler Kennedy Appreciation Life continues.

Lobster Night!

YAY!  LOBSTER!  File this one under “No One Cares But Pants” if you must, but Calgary has signed Alex Tanguay to a 5-year contract. Tanguay and the Flames have agreed to a five-year extension that will pay the offensively-gifted forward $17.5 million. [Article at NHL.com] Alex and I go way back to when Crosby and […]

Mikey Not-So-Monday: Old School

Sorry this is late, I was busy!  While I was getting married, Mike was being a mountain man: Ah, summer.  Time to relax and think back on the good old days: When ill-advised non-haircuts and shared cardigan collections made me want to: Mike’s nominated for the charity-recognition Foundation Award at tonight’s NHL Awards.  We don’t […]

Best. Present. Ever.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GATOR!  I thought you’d like to wake up and find this… well, on the blog if nowhere closer.  But still.  I left a lot of work for you and I don’t expect any of it to get done today. Steven trains to wheel your suitcase on your honeymoon (quads): Steven gets strong enough […]

Mikey Monday: Get Physical

We haven’t seen Tazer so a squat in a while, so… here’s Mike’s workout from last summer.  There’s about one thing in this video that I could do and it’s the part where he stands around looking winded. You can thank Tumblr for these and more. Here’s the video – Mike Green’s Off-Season Workout.  Bonus: […]

Back Nine

Everyone say thanks to Linsday for this video of Jonathan Toews growing out his hair.  Oh, and talking about the Winnipeg NHL Redux.  He wants them to be called the Jets.  I bet he’s got some vintage WPJ sheets for a single bed, complete with matching curtains and trash can.   Attention Chuck: Colin Wilson […]
