Check, one, two – does this thing still work? Hello friends! Hope you had a nice summer. I did – and my team did too, of course. Easy to get a tan with the sun reflecting off the Stanley Cup. And off the white hot glare of your Twitter account. Speaking of which… […]
Do you ever look at someone and think everyoneelsejustgiveupnowincludingwomenwhatistheuse? I do. To which Sidney Crosby replies: The Penguins play in DC tonight. Which means they are in DC right now. Which means an NSA satellite is probably reading this post and assessing whether or not I pose a security risk. There is […]
The NHL Man Madness 2106 Round 2 voting is done, and it has left some handsome debris in its wake. Votes: 660 Upsets: at least one Hearts broken: Mine, twice Jonathan Toews lost. Not that Zach Parise isn’t just as charmingly handsome or likely to put his coat over a puddle so your shoes […]
I can live with ugly sweaters if the Christmas season continues to yield embarrassing team holiday videos. We’ve already seen the Habs belting out Elsa’s theme. Here’s a look at the rest… The Penguins have already found the perfect off-ice role for Pascal Dupuis: Team Dad. It would explain a lot about how attractive this […]
I was blasting Adele to drown out my husband being waaaay ahead of me on Jessica Jones, when I finally got to this. Turn it up. Now, I can identify about two of the Canadiens by their faces, so I really wish this thing had nameplates. I turned to the team roster to […]
Hello? Anybody home? It’s been 131 days since we did a blog post and honestly, it’s all that sloth’s fault. Look how cute he is! Big smile, no thumbs – it’s so hard to type when we’re bursting into Kristen Bell-type tears all day long. But hockey season is nearly upon us. Sorry sloth, time […]
There’s been a lot of press the last few days about the terrible experience some Caps fans had at Nassau Coliseum during Game 3 vs. the Islanders on Sunday. You can read the original story here, the Isles’ official team response and about a follow-up investigation into harassment and vandalism by local authorities. Caps owner […]
Beep Beep! Who’s got the keys to the Jeep? Vrrrroooooommmm! Tyler recently shot a commercial for Starwood Motors in Dallas. You can watch them here and here but fair warning – they are hella awkward. Name me a single hockey player commerical that isn’t. Apparently Starwood Motors sells kevlar-coated Jeeps. Yes. Kevlar. As in the same […]
There are three Fridays left in the regular season, and with that, it’s time to bite the bullet. We must bid adieu to some of our favorites, sending them off to summer with strict instructions for shirtless boat-selfies, colorful golf pants/plaid shorts and hey, if anyone wants to pour ice water over his head and post […]
Did you all enjoy the Winter Classic yesterday? Watch from the couch with one eye open and a hangover breakfast? I expect you did , even if you may have been alone in your living rooms. The event posted the lowest ratings of any Winter Classic – as shame, since it was one of the […]
As you know, hockey does not often make American airwaves. I sometimes wonder what percentage of our population could identify Wayne Gretzky, forget Gordie Howe or Crosby or Intern Jeff Skinner. It would be a killer round on “Celebrity Name Game,” after so few of my countrymen recognize Bill Gates but everybody knows Jared from […]
Dear Life, It will be a year, almost to the day the 2014-15 NHL season starts, since my job scenario changed and I have been increasingly overwhelmed at work. We’re way past busy, and have visited manic on the way to meltdown. Recently. (See: this past Monday.) I don’t remember where I found the time to watch hockey […]
To celebrate the occasion of Chuck’s birthday, let’s go back to that time Tyler Seguin didn’t wear a shirt under his jersey, on the day he knew he’d be taking said jersey of in front of the whole arena and handing it to someone. Some gifts (and gifs) just keep on giving. Happy Birthday, Chuck! (Thanks […]
Welcome back, hockey people we haven’t seen in a long time! (Forgive our over-excitement. Our teams can solve this problem by winning more/longer next year.) The NHL Awards are tonight – on a Tuesday. Let that sink in… Tuesday. Rock and roll. We’ll take it, of course, desperate and starved as we are. But not to […]
Unusual is the day Chuck & I can be equally depicted by a single .gif: GAME SEVENS FOR ALL OUR TEAMS! We’re supposed to love it, right? This is what sports are all about? YES. PUNCHING. I will see you guys tonight. For additional inspiration, enjoy this video – and Sid’s beard, which I really do […]
It’s hard to believe three weeks of playoffs are in the books! In some ways, I appreciate being down to just a few games per night. Some nights I can even play hooky from watching. That means catching up with NHL Network though, and there’s nothing worse than hour after hour of only 2 games […]
It was bound to happen and one night it did (Thanks, Garth)… the Tampa Bay Lightning were the first team eliminated from the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs. I haven’t heard from Lindsay, who is probably wrapped in her Stamkos jersey like a shroud and laying on the floor in the space between her bed and […]
Happy Day Before #&$% Gets Real, Everyone! Every April, we wonder how we got here – if we got here – and panic. Prayers are said. Shirts and jerseys are lined up to wear. Post-traumatic stress resurfaces from last season. And with all that comes something else, something glorious. No, not the possibility of winning […]
Chuck is on vacation and I am woefully unqualified to do this post, but I know @amy_gehring is skipping class in Europe and @wingwoman85 started her day on Australian time, so I can’t leave the world waiting. The Tyler Seguin/Michael Del Zotto bromance that began Instagram-tastically with this: Has continued both online: And in real life: The Predators […]
I really tried to pick a hockey player, but one Google search made everyone else look so boring and outfitted in proper-sized clothing. Consider this your preventative, pre-playoff diversion… Foxy Friday: Chris Evans Now, I can’t tell you if Chris Evans cares about hockey. I can tell you he owns this hat: And this hat: […]
