My appreciation of all things Tyler Seguin is not news to anyone who reads this blog or follows us on the twitter. At first, my friends did not understand my love for #19/91. They couldn’t see “it”. But slowly, over time, their resolve weakened and they willingly joined me on the dark side. I’ve welcomed […]
Another day of hockey players and rescue pets? Tuesday, I’ve never liked you so much. Last year I had the Caps calendar, and it could be a front runner again this year. Or I’ll get them all and do a wall display (and no work)! You need a close up, I know. What’s more perfect: […]
Happy December, everyone! As we do annually at this time (see: 2013), we enlisted the help of Alison’s mom to take pictures of the Pens & Paws Calendar. How does it always arrive first? Video from the calendar shoot is here. I am always very susceptible to puppy-related advertising, as evidenced by my love for the […]
I know it is not Tuesday but it’s still a day that starts with T, so this post will totally work. If you know anything about me, but know that I love beards and I love tattoos. Each one on their own is fantastic, but together? Now go in and add hockey to the mix…. […]
We are halfway through November, and that means halfway to getting these mustaches off everyone’s faces! Just kidding – we love Movember and applaud the many men’s health concerns for which it raises awareness and funds. Just don’t wear a mustache home to meet our parents on Thanksgiving. This year I donated on the promise that Mr. Pants would […]
This week’s Foxy Friday suggestion came to us from one of our twitter followers, Ellie (aka @hockeyfied) Besides the obvious (#Sweden), I honestly had no idea who Elias Lindholm was. But I do now. Bless you, Ellie, for enlightening me. Everyone meet Elias Viktor Zebulon Lindholm. Yes, that it is actually his name, and yes, […]
As you well know, Pants and I have a true, strong, and real appreciation for men’s facial hair. We’ve been blogging about it for years now and like to think that we’ve become experts on the topics. It sustains us, like manna from heaven. We are all about the beards but this month, we’re all about the mo. Movember – A special […]
Happy Hockey Halloween everyone! It’s that special time of the year again when all of our favorite hockey players dress up in hilarious and sometimes ridiculously tiny, costumes, for our entertainment. Most of the time, it is to bring joy and smiles to sick kids. But sometimes it is strictly for our enjoyment. Especially these […]
Halloween has arrived a little early for a few of our favorite teams. In the world of the 24 hour Tumblr news cycle, these guys came to party. Letang is always going for it on Halloween, though we must point out the Mad Hatter is not a prince. Disney, yes (so close!), but next year, let […]
Let’s talk about this: Not Kate Middleton gossip, remembering Ryan Reynolds is Canadian or even Angelina being honored with an extra “u” from the Queen. I mean the important stuff. You are reading that right. Thanks to @tobelerone for seeing this first! This is a real story. IN A MAGAZINE. It’s teased on the cover! I […]
This week, Tyler Tuesday really overdelivers. If asked for two words to describe Tyler Seguin, Chuck would use “dude” and “perfect.” She is sedated after seeing this on vacation, so allow me…. First of all, Dude Perfect is – as advertised – a group of five guys and a panda. One guy has a gingerbeard. […]
Oh, Strombo. Who put these roundtable interview combinations together? Tavares, Giroux and Seguin at the same table? It’s awkward. It’s brilliant. It’s the cast of The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Compared to Sid, Hank and Toews all doing the casual leanback, these guys are more nervous and eager. They’re all sitting forward, shoulders up – they even mimic […]
At the NHL media tour, George Stroumboulopoulos (@strombo) hosted a series of roundtable discussions with some of our favorite players. Up first: Sid, Hank and Tazer. This is a good interview. I had never seen Strombo before the NHL Awards and apparently he gets some flack for softball-ing questions, but I liked this. It’s funny, insightful […]
It’s here, it’s here! The most exciting, heartbreaking, hair-tearing, curse-hurling, cheering, crying, social-life-cancelling time of the year! To celebrate the start of a new season, SportChek had Sidney Crosby list 39 hockey terms every fan should know: I bet they wrote 38 terms and Sid threw “Geno” in there himself. Assuming you’ve got most of those, and hoping we’re past […]
It’s an awkward moment in any boss’ career when you realize that, over the summer, your intern became hot. We could dial that back down a few notches to “attractive,” because Intern Jeff Skinner will always have the face of a 12-year old and be our equivalent of a little brother. But it’s safe to say […]
I AM GETTING EXCITED! Like Jesse Spano-on-pills excited. Less than two weeks until hockey starts and I should warn you: I may go this entire season using only gifs from Sherlock. I am laaaaaaaaaaate to this fandom but it really explains Life, the Universe, and Everything. (Double Martin Freeman nerd-reference there, for anyone still with me.) […]
In all honesty, this year’s #CAMP montages have left us a little MEH. We’re not saying we don’t like them – we just don’t love them. Day 3’s video would have been another mediocre offering but was salvaged by two things: impossibly tight super hero t-shirts and Michael Del Zotto’s samurai ponytail. MDZ’s hair has […]
At this time of the year, with the NHL season tantalizingly close, we are in desperate need of something to satiate our hockey hunger. Normally, we are good with a cheese platter, a few bottle of wine, and Miracle on the DVR. But lately we’ve been so hungry that we are getting HANGRY. Enter BioSteel’s #CAMP. This […]
For all the athletes participating, it’s no surprise the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was covered on American SportsCenter this weekend. What’s surprising is they included the Crosby video – almost the entire thing – even before they showed LeBron or Justin Timberlake! Finally, it’s The World According to Pants. So naturally, it was time James Neal […]
Every summer, the Blackhawks rub our faces in their excellence and team spirit by hosting yet another Blackhawks Convention. Sometimes they bring the Cup for extra envy-inducing purposes, but not even the Hawks can win that thing every year. So how do they make sure everyone gets their money’s worth? Dancing. It’s safe to say the […]
