Meanwhile, 2 miles away…

Right now, right down the street, Mikey and Nicky are building a playground. SERIOUSLY. I should be speeding up Rhode Island Ave NW right now in my dress and heels.  Maybe Nicky has a pair of stripey red shorts I can borrow.  Why do I not know about these things in advance?  Why am I […]

Not to brag, but…

While I was busy watching a Hugh Jackman movie last night, the Ghost in the Machine was drawing my fantasy hockey team.  I want this higher power to pick my outfits – look at this beauty! When I named my team for Mike Green, that automatically meant I wouldn’t get him.  Happened last year with […]

Tazer Coming Through

I shouldn’t be laughing!  Bad Pants!  This kid is really selling it though. Quick, someone else fall down and need a hug.

Mikey Monday: SOLD

Sorry I’m late!  Jeez, Mondays are tough.  This is a special edition for Elisha! Today at Rookie Camp, Caps prospect Garret Mitchell did an interview [link].  Strangely no one asks him if he’s willing to be MG52’s stunt double and understudy.  He’s clearly trying to make the team by emulating someone. But let’s be honest, […]

We said COME IN!

The rest of the Pens also participated in season ticket delivery – but none appear to have eaten a cookie.  If only they’d known Crosby said it was okay! Check out Jordan’s goober wave as he approaches the first house. [link] And the tween girls who get their picture with him.  Their lives just peaked. Flower […]

Speaking of Capt. Awesome.

Ovi crashed the Caps rookie camp yesterday and skated with the newbies! He sported the fashionable black jersey with his named slapped on the back and skated along with all the other young bucks. For being slagged as not so hands on (I protest & wish!) and for supposedly not being in shape – so not […]

Wake Up, Wake Up!

Last night, Dawn mastered the art of Inception and messed with my dreams. First, I dreamed that I had a baby.  With Ovechkin. Luckily the dream started immediately post-delivery – dreaming the baby-making or the delivery would have woken me screaming.  But Ovi was really sweet (Stop it, Dawn!) and even though we weren’t married, […]

Dream Team

Just to give you guys an idea of what we’re missing: Tazer with the open buttons all week and Steven with the hair.

Henrik Lundqvist Loves Me

Tweets of the day… I made Henrik Lundqvist giggle.  For serious. I might have even made him blush. He’s totally in love with me. God, he’s attractive. Killing us with those dimples. And the hair… Glorious. Watch full video here – http://yfrog.com/0iu43z ADDENDUM: And then Pants and I have this conversation after she refers to HL30 […]

Sidney Crosby, We Love You.

Sidney Crosby is going to be okay.  He’ll play again.  We don’t know when. Just seeing him made us feel so much better about the world.  Plus, this press conference is 100 times more informative than Bettman’s concussion speech at the All-Star Game.  They are hopeful but not blindly so, and confident. A CBC reporter […]

MY LIFE SO HARD

ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?  I know it’s media week but this is the best combo since drinking your Coke through a Twizzler straw! Gator will be away and I have a work event… both of which should be cancelled immediately.  We should have the Nealmobile loaded up with snacks and gas and be […]

Centerfold

My wonderful and kind friend Mer wants you to have a great day.  So she found these.  It’s Friday, and if you’re American there’s no work Monday.  Go ahead and celebrate all the things in life that are fantastic: This should be the backyard of a mental institution, because that’s where Dawn will need to […]

Fall Down, Go Boom.

Well, folks, it was bound to happen. Stanley is a little banged up, thanks to former Bruin Michael “Cool” Ryder and a flimsy Nova Scotian card table. To which my friend Fatty J exclaimed, “Jesus Michael!” Dios mios indeed! What is that table made out of anyway?  Paper mache and matchsticks? You’d think that they’d […]

Break out your Nautical Themed Pashmina Afghan.

This summer’s been pretty awesome for the Bruins. Winning the Stanley Cup pretty much guarnetees that. The celebration tour has taken the Cup all over the world, but one place it’s been quite a bit this summer is… ON A BOAT! Nautical themed pashmina afghans and flippy floppys for EVERYONE! Stanley has more than earned […]

Intern Desk: You Want More?

Not enough, eh?   Intern Jeff Skinner here – still working out.  I’ve been working out for DAYS.  Hey Pants, where’s Logan Couture this weekend?  Oh right, hosting golf.   You weren’t invited?  Maybe I’ll send you a ticket to the gun show.  Heck, two tickets and you can sit next to my Calder Trophy. […]

What-To-Do Wednesday

Today is officially the Longest Day Ever.  There is even a trophy. To alleviate boredom, we suggest you follow the Nealmobile on Twitter – @jneal_18.  It’s really the only hope today has to become more exciting. This picture is from the 2010 Dallas Stars calendar.  Someone clearly should have bought this for us.  It looks […]

That Just My Baby Daddy

A year ago, former Disney star Hilary Duff, accoplished what so many aspire to… She snagged a professional athlete. And a hockey player to boot. And yesterday, Hils and her Pittsburgh Penguin hubby, Mike Comrie, announced that they are expecting a little penguin of their own. We’re totes happy for them and personally, we feel […]

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!” […]

Show Me Your Teeth!

Ok – anyone see “I Spit On Your Grave”? Nevermind … this photo just reminds me of a scene from it, in a very twisted way. A faux-Stanley cup for anyone who can name this tow-headed NHL all-star, grinning to winning!

Foxy Friday….ermmm…not so much

So any of our loyal readers out there know that this blog – and this feature, in particular – tend to focus on the more beautiful aspects of the game of hockey. Namely, the oily bo-hunks that play this game we love so much. Patrick Sharp.   Sidney Crosby. Jonathan Toews. Patrice Bergeron. Patrick Sharp. Oh […]
