Lindsay tried to warn Chuck about this last night – I’m surprised Chuck didn’t lock me out of here today! It’s not that serious, but I’ve got a recurring problem: every time I hear the Rascal Flatts song “Banjo,” I get really excited and start rocking out in my car. It’s a good 30 seconds […]
Back when we listed the most common playoff beard types, you may recall we included the “Maybe Don’t” category. This is the circular file where well-intentioned and enthusiastic efforts are stored until perfect attendance awards are handed out. ‘A’ for effort and all that. Since then we have admired the burgeoning beauty of many beards. […]
It wasn’t quite 3 AM, but close… When John Carlson scores a goal, I get irrationally happy. When that goal is assisted by Karl Alzner, I yell, “Apples to Apples!” and jump around the room. Can we get this guy a clear mouth guard? Sadly iCarly’s goal was not enough as the Caps lost an epic triple-overtime […]
WHEW! With a must-watch hockey game every night, how is everyone doing? I’m skipping the gym and am way behind on Game of Thrones. Poor Chuck is trying to graduate from grad school! We must remember to revel in it now because when it’s over, it’s over. Then you can get a tan, learn […]
The Blame Mike Green Train has left the station with all NBC announcers aboard. I hope it derails (off a bridge) and only Liam McHugh’s career survives. Mike had a rough day Saturday. He was -2 with no points and only 1 shot. He fanned on a couple of power play set-ups from the point. […]
I wish you guys could have seen me last night. In a bar with twelve tables, eleven were filled with Bruins fans. My dad and I, in my Backstrom shirt, were at the other. The waiter didn’t bother to ask, he just kept the beers coming. When Joel Ward scored, I jumped out of my […]
So here we go. 7:30pm tonight. Washington Capitals vs. Boston Bruins. Battle of the Blog: Pants vs. Chuck – The Final Showdown. Remember back to your history class when they talked about the gun battle at the OK Corral? Tonight’s Bruins vs Caps game is going to be just like that. Only with hockey sticks […]
So the Kings making it past Vancouver was like this happening … And it was all because of the guy with the most AWESOME hair this side of the Mississippi! And I can attest from seeing it in person. HOLY CRAP! It deserves a post of its own – hell, it deserves a facebook page of its […]
Chuck and I are not talking about the Bruins/Caps series. At all. It’s actually working out, as we restrict ourselves to screaming at televisions and telling our problems to bartenders, strangers and anyone unlucky enough to gchat us. I have discovered a hatred for the Bruins that I never knew existed, and I can only […]
Check us out every Thursday through out the NHL Playoffs on Puck Daddy! April 19, 2012 –This early in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, beards are like second-round berths and regulation wins – shiny hopes and dreams. It’s barely Week 2 and, at best, most players are sporting only peach fuzz or the beard equivalent of […]
There are lots of things that I love about playoff hockey. And although I’m a little disappointed with all the nasty play and dirty hits and the lack of respect that some players *coughraffitorres* have shown for their fellow players, there is something about this time of year that makes my heart just fill up […]
Now something to make you laugh – best email of the day. I might as well go home.
At Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon in Austin, TX, every Sunday night they play Chicken Sh*t Bingo. It’s exactly what it sounds like – feed a chicken, turn it loose on a tabletop bingo board and wherever it takes a crap, that number goes on the board. I’m pretty sure this is also how the NHL […]
Remember when Harry Potter got so angry at Dudley that he made the glass disappear and unleashed a snake into a room full of kids? I wanted to disapparate the glass in the Verizon Center last night and let the fans go berserk. I have never been so worked up at a game. As the […]
I don’t hate fighting as much as some other people. What I dislike is hypocrisy. Philly has never made any apologies for who they are. What shocked me was Matt Cooke managed to stayed out of the fray. Pittsburgh needs to decide quickly if they are going to play as a team to stay in […]
That moment when the Washington Capitals my most consistent team… … and running hard like they really belong in this race. The Bruins and Capitals have played 144 minutes of hockey and scored a combined four goals. The Flyers/Penguins are averaging four goals per period in their series. Needless to say I’m a bit high […]
I’m not quite sure what to say about today’s Penguins/Flyers game and I re-wrote this post three times (while trying not to throw up). This game was an implosion – a disgusting, dirty, insulting excuse for a game the Penguins lost fair and square. First off, the score. Can ANYONE be bothered to cover Danny […]
It’s getting hot in here, and Brendan Shanahan’s phone was ringing off the hook yesterday. Three players face disciplinary hearings for offenses committed during Saturday’s run of show… 1. Carl Hagelin Former Foxy Friday and Ryan Gosling stun- double Carl Hagelin is not known for throwing elbows and getting dirrrty. But the playoffs make people […]
I was beginning to think I was me. When the Pens, Caps and Hawks all went down 0-1 in their playoff series, I wondered if I might be cursed. Then Friday’s debacle in Pittsburgh had me panicking – should I sit on the couch or the floor? But I did that last time! Jersey or […]
Ok, I’m starting this off with I don’t hate the Vancouver Canucks. I just happen to LOVE the LA KINGS – even more so after seeing them last night. Look at the play-off beard! If Pants was worried about me when we went to see Ovi in SJ in my outfit, she should have chaperoned […]
