Let’s talk about something happy. Something that isn’t what happened to Stamkos. Something that doesn’t spur a combination of dry heaves, caterwauling and crushing bags of ketchup chips with a sledgehammer. Penguins, to the rescue. Yesterday was the annual Project Bundle Up, where the Pens take kids shopping for warm winter clothes. What could be […]
If you’re the NHL’s First Star of the Week, you’re already having a time. It’s not really fair that you also look like this: Hi-res left/right Jeez, Stamkos. Leave something for the mere mortals. These are (again) from the Sharp for Men November ’13 issue photo shoot. You can download the issue for your iPad […]
Puppies? BAH. That’s not enough. James Neal noticed that some of you had regained consciousness after the pet calendar shoot yesterday, so he went to the Boys & Girls Club. Video: James Neal Boys & Girls Club Visit If you can’t play, this is a really great way to show off your hair and hoodie. […]
Mike Green was really trying to give me something to Monday about when he scored two goals in the Caps season opener vs. Chicago. Then both goals were credited to Mikhail Grabovski. Mike is not used to sharing this MG stuff with anyone. Say what? Mike did have two assists vs. Chicago, plus another two […]
It’s Penguins opening night!! Also, there’s something seriously wrong with me. Not five seconds into this video and I have the gasping laughtears. I keep pausing it to cackle. Cabbie Presents on TSN: with Sidney Crosby (Skip to 39 min mark) Sid just got an iPhone. Before that he had a flip phone. I bet he’s […]
Behold, part of the glorious two-page Caps preview spread in today’s Washington Post! (Sorry Coach, the copier can only scan so much.) Click for a much larger picture. Read the preview here. Note the Post has the Penguins winning the East, by 1 point over the Bruins. Though the Caps lost their opener vs. Chicago […]
I got home and flipped on the TV last night and this was on. There may have been shrieking. Tavares shows Roenick around the ice – NBC Sports Network (If you’re in Canada, enjoy this budget version filmed off my TV, complete with crickets singing outside.) I can promise you this will go on all […]
I wish you guys could have been in my living room while I was watching this. It’s only pre-season and Mr. Pants’ attempts to get attention over hockey have reached new heights. He immediately started blasting music and dancing. When that didn’t work, he went into the kitchen and started doing the dishes. Desperation […]
Suddenly this morning, I am considering a new career. In videography. What, you thought I meant physical therapy? The idea being to fix something so your patient never needs to return? Oh no. Videography is much easier. I’ll just light and zoom and let James and his tattoos do all the work for me. […]
Oh Monday. It’s been a while since I was so excited to see your face. And by your face, I mean Mike Green’s. The Capitals Convention was this weekend, so Mike’s friends are along to make your Monday better. I had a hot date with Deb (@DLF1021) and Pam (@sunnyinNJ) who packed their high-powered cameras. […]
Everyone’s favorite hot middle school science teacher and un-ironic wearer of khaki pants turns 23 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN TAVARES! from mistfarer, tagged #boyfriendfilter Yes, 23. Our love for John is not new – he was Foxy Friday back in March 2012 – but we have been a bit, er, cult-ish lately. He had a big […]
Sneaker Ball, the annual charity event that encourages sports to enhance the lives of children, was held last night in DC. Guess who won an award? The JB (James Brown) Impact Award goes to an athlete who “has demonstrated outstanding involvement in the community and has used sport to positively impact the area…. Through actions […]
We keep saying #isitOctoberyet?!?! when really, summer has been great. It allowed me to forget that Danny Briere is now a Montreal Canadien. Don’t get me wrong – this is better (for me) than Danny Briere being a Flyer. Even if it gave him a sad and that hurt my heart. I could get used […]
Happy 26th birthday, Nealmobile! When you came to the Penguins, we hardly knew you. Since then, well, we hope you like this website dedicated mostly to your existence. Think of it as a place to remember that getting older is a) inevitable and b) really working for you. To celebrate, we share with everyone: […]
I can’t dedicate the required time to Team Canada without taking it as a paid job, but I can spend three minutes on this. Remember the show Lost? All that time on a deserted island, living off leaves and opening random hatches while everyone’s eyebrows stayed plucked? The magic of television is everywhere, folks. Don’t […]
Sorry it’s been so quiet around here! Chuck has been swamped and I’ve been away for work. Luckily the internet is everywhere, even during the off-season. Last week the Rangers, Devils and Islanders promoted the pair of outdoor games they’ll play at Yankee Stadium in January as part of the NHL’s Stadium Series. Welcome to […]
It’s 8.7 and that can mean only one thing… Happy birthday, Sidney Crosby! Those of us who love Crosby know there are many, many moments of this: And more than a few of this: When Sid is on the ice. But if he wanted us to base our opinions only on this: He shouldn’t have […]
Both Chuck and I are drowning in work today, but over the weekend hockey players were dancing. Emergency post. Remember last year’s Blackhawks Convention, when we thought nothing could ever top this? Phone booth not included. Patrick Kane heard us. And declared shenanigans. Bless this girl who gets up to the mic and asks Toews […]
Let’s start our first Mikey Monday in a while by hoping everyone in Mike’s hometown of Calgary is safe and well. We’ve seen a lot of photos this weekend, like the Saddledome underwater, and we’re thinking of you guys. Mike is still in DC, Tweeting about car shows and country concerts (ah, summer). He recently […]
Remember me? I was visiting my parents last week and there are no interwebs in the woods. Also there is no NBC Sports Network so it’s a good thing I was at a Lady Antebellum show instead of trying to watch Game 2! The outcome was also much better. Chuck is on vacation and I […]
