Two posts in two days? This place is like Santa’s Workshop! Last night was the annual NHL Awards, or as we like to call it: the NHL A(wk)wards. Normally an unfunny, bumblingly-hosted, C-list celebfest, last night’s show was most of those things again. But better, no? I confess to liberal use of the mute button, […]
Since Psych was not renewed for a 9th season, Chuck & I are officially the best faux-psychic show in town. No time is more ripe for our charlatan act than Day 1 of the 2014 NHL playoffs. So sit back and allow us to disagree slightly on who will win in the first round. EAST Bruins […]
Tomorrow is birthday time for our pal Lindsay! She may be on a warm-weather vacation without us, presumably eating cake, but we guarantee she’s also watching hockey. Boys don’t always remember dates, so Steven Stamkos’ gift arrived a little early – two goals in last night’s win over Buffalo. First he tied the game: […]
To celebrate the return of our favorite blond (sorry Landeskog) to the ice tonight, we (and Alison) bring you the newest Coke Zero “Moment Zero” ad starring Jordan Eberle and Steven Stamkos. You can see the commercial exclusively at TSN’s Bar Down site. It’s another adorable story in which humor plucks heartstrings and adversity is […]
Welcome back, NHL hockey. Before I watch my first evening game in weeks tonight, the Olympic break needs a nod to non-Olympians. Not everyone went to Sochi – or stayed home watching ice dancing. Without posting the entire Tumblr tag (Honestly, where do people find this stuff?), it’s safe to say you wish you went […]
For those of you who may not know, Pants and I are proud alumnae of Boston University, Class of We’ll-Never-Tell-For-Fear-Of-Revealing-Our-True-Ages. BU is a college hockey powerhouse and consistently produces NHL players. Right now there are a plethora of former Terriers representing in the big show – Nick Bonino, Alex Chiasson, Kevin Shattenkirk, Colin Wilson, and […]
When we don’t post for a few days, it’s safe to say we’re either a) really busy or b) laughing so hysterically over the cat face in #21 of 35 Greatest Animal Photobombers of All Time that we can’t type. Yet through our tears, we see big events are happening. Tonight, the man we call Squishy […]
I think I just hallucinated that Sidney Crosby said his celebrity crush is Syndey Bristow. Did he really say he likes tall, fair girls with long brown hair who are, frankly, a LOT older than he is? Awesome. I happen to be know one. She even has a suitcase catapult. (Side note: I’ve worked […]
To celebrate Halloween, Intern Jeff Skinner wore his costume to work. Just kidding, that cheater sent Ben Smith in his place! Jeff totally fooled us with this crap, like everyone in comic books and movies ever, and rode off on his Batbike into the night. Guess he didn’t want to be the third part of […]
You may recall a while back when I got really excited about this. Like whooping, twirling and scaring Intern Jeff Skinner excited. (We don’t let him work the Halloween Party.) Then yesterday, more screams were heard ’round the world as Lindsay and Alison whipped these around the internet. Alison found this teaser: And she […]
Hertl for Calder. Okay, so perhaps it is a bit premature to be saying that, but after what Tomas Hertl did last night, can you really blame us? The San Jose Sharks rookie forward scored 4 goals (!) last night. Each goal he scored was more impressive than the one before and his piece de […]
There are two kinds of people in my life. People who understand why this: Makes me: And people who don’t. The first type understands what this means, even if they prefer a different jersey. They understand how I can love someone: While at the same time wishing to crush their lifelong hopes and dreams. They […]
It’s 1:49 AM and I’m crying laughing. Why, you might ask? The best thing I’ve read in ages: Do the John Tavares Workout at Home – Lighthouse Hockey I don’t know which part is best, the warning to not actually do any of these things or the “Extra Work” that includes (and I quote): After completing […]
Summer is over(-ish) and it’s time for Steven Stamkos to put away his white pants. None of these fashion faux pas on reality TV, boys. As the NHL season nears, players will fight for their teams and for spots on the 2014 Olympic roster. And, of course, for a rose on our show. First rule […]
It’s time for the best #CAMP we never went to: Camp BioSteel. Exhibit A: James Neal pulling something heavy, showing off his short hair. The photo’s from this Globe and Mail story about James aiming to impress at Olympic Camp. As in “James might not make the Olympic team.” Don’t even play. The goal of […]
Last week, it was glasses. This week, we are continuing with our salute to inanimate foxiness by honoring one of our favorite apps, Instagram. In case you’re not hip to the Instagram, it is an online photo/video-sharing & social networking services that lets users take photos, apply a digital filter, upload them, and share […]
It started with this: from Geno’s Instagram Well no, our obsession with boys in glasses began long ago. Maybe it was when Chuck and I got our own glasses, or when we realized that we a) are nerds and b) like nerds. Glasses may be more cool than Coke bottle these days, but the allure […]
The last Friday of the 2013 NHL season is upon us. Proving that they are foxy to the end, we have featured so many Hawks and Bruins over the last few years that almost none are left! Off-season, bring us reinforcements. Foxy Fridays have a way of coming true on the ice. More than once […]
It’s here… #BeardWatch2013’s Beard of the Year! I had to do this one solo, as Chuck is away, but I’m sure she will appreciate it from her European Vacation. There were so many possibilities this year – manly beards as far as the eye can see. An excellent problem to have. Read it here: Yahoo Puck […]
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 […]
