Everyone knows that any nerd movie worth watching involves some sort of an epic quest – a quest for something so important, powerful, that it could forever change the course of human history. Lord of the Rings. Star Wars. The Goonies. Tonight at 8pm in the Madhouse on Madison, another quest will begin. Warriors will […]
Please enjoy the hold photo while Pants deletes everything she previously wrote about disliking tattoos. Better, whole photo courtesy of @Laurrrr_41. Not only did she survive this but she’s followed by The Backstreet Boys. The girl’s a hero. Lindsay called for pictorial evidence (not pectoral, though that is also on display) that Neal’s tattoo is getting […]
I was going to write a whole Pens eulogy as soon as my emotions stop looking like splatter paint and just wash away. Some of that post would have been along the lines of, “Crosby is not the only player on the Penguins, everyone needs to get a freaking grip.” Then Amanda sent us this. […]
As much as I like intensely battled hockey games, it’s nice to get a big win once in a while. It’s nice to take a 3-1 playoff series lead. Last night’s Pens/Sens game significantly reduced my risk of a heart attack. Malkin said Neal was ready to bust out of his scoring slump [link], […]
I’m not into reality TV (besides sports), but may I suggest a new program? Penguins Bachelor Auction – Talent Competition Episode One: Sidney Crosby’s sex hair vs. James Neal’s ginger beard Somewhere, Pierre weeps. Neal’s Strategy: Curls for the girls. I’m just saying – NBC Sports Network is showing cycling reruns when there is money […]
As you many remember, I fought the Caps love for a long time before finally caving in. In just three years as a Capitals’ fan, our relationship has gotten very serious (obsessed, codependent – semantics). As such, I’ve allowed myself until Noon today to wallow in last night’s Capitals. With actual shock I admit that […]
It’s Game 7 time. Heart in mouth, prayer in mind, lucky clothes on body time. Every superstition, every trick, every measure of defiance will be in use tonight like it’s the Battle for Hogwarts all over again. Whether you’re watching Rangers/Caps or Leafs/Bruins, I defy you to make it through the post with your blood […]
The Penguins have won Round One. It wasn’t easy. It wasn’t even pretty. Well, maybe Game One, but otherwise the Penguins generally had their asses handed to them by the 8th seed upstart Islanders. At times the Pens beat themselves, but as the series went on the Islanders were winning. Fair and square they were […]
Caps/Rangers Game 3 was incredible. The kind of game that makes new hockey fans. The kind of game that nearly kills the rest of us. Is there anything to say or think or even feel that that isn’t breathlessly captured in these photos by clydeorama from Jasper’s Rink? Anything else you want to hug? […]
Things I love, in order: 1) Mike Green scoring goals. .gif by nhl-highlights.tumblr.com 2) Mike Green’s hair like this. Watch it: Post-Game 4/11 video 3) Mike Green taking himself SO SERIOUSLY. Read it: Russian Machine Never Breaks Of course it’s stupid to say your bad long hair affected your play, Mike! It’s also dumb to say […]
Check out these gorgeous pictures from Carmen Mandato Photography. Large, hi-res versions are on the website along with a few shots of other teams. People have asked if she’ll have prints available for sale. She’s on Facebook too. God, don’t you just love hockey? And wish you had longer eyelashes? And feel relieved that no […]
Dear NHL, If you do not use this song for any and all Stanley Cup Playoffs montages, then you’re just doing it wrong. It’s perfection. You know what? Just hire us and we’ll take care of it for you. Sincerely, Chuck & Pants
Honestly, sometimes the jokes write themselves. I was going to talk about Danny Briere’s concussion and No Trade Clause, but I typed “No Trade Claude.” Why yes, that’s exactly what I meant. It’s April, the Flyers are last in the Atlantic and I… won’t say anything mean. I still don’t like them and that’s all. […]
As predicted by science, fate and what he looked like to begin with, post-jaw surgery and probably mid-dental work Sidney Crosby looks… Better than anyone you know in real life. This is from the party after the Honor Society show in Pittsburgh last night (says Tumblr – which is how rumors get started). I’d apologize […]
This weekend, the artist formerly known as GAME OVER changed his name to GAME TIED. And that’s okay with us. How I looked Saturday night, only with a scream of joy. On Saturday, after hitting the post earlier in the game, Mike banked one in behind Jhonas Enroth to tie the game with 42 seconds […]
If this little girl could read, I’d swear she was reading our Tweets from last night: It was a big game for #TeamEbs and the reunited Kid Line in St. Louis! Jordan had two beautiful goals. He almost scored his first NHL hat trick on a breakaway, but he and Taylor heard @amandalitty was […]
Last night, Mike and the Caps really wanted you to tag your Tweets. I don’t think “I miss hedgehog, fidgety, Jersey Shore-style Mike Green but at least this guy has a manicure. *P #CapsNYR” is what they were after. They could have gone with #CutYourHair or #DontYouMissWhenIWasHot or… I’ll stop. Mike did have a goal […]
Sundays should be easy. Could someone please inform my hockey teams? Penguins 2, Flyers 1 – OT The past two seasons, the Flyers have ended big win streaks for the Pens. Not last night!! It took a while, until Crosby PPGed so hard he almost fell over. He is a little back-heavy, after all. .gif by […]
When someone talks to me about Steven Stamkos scoring goals: And Stammer never lets a girl down. Last night he scored his 200th career goal in the Lightning win over the Flyers. Bonus yay. Alone in my car with Game Center Live radio playing on my phone, I yelled, “Hey girl, I’m Steven Stamkos!” Not […]
Good news – Mike is traveling with the Caps! He went to Carolina & Boston, and will make the four game trip that starts today. No word on when Bubble Boy might play, but at least he’s around for photos. From Ovi’s Twitter: I love these dorks, though I don’t understand what they’re so happy […]
