Foxy (Almost) Friday: Ice Bucket Challenge

We really miss hockey, but it’s safe to say this off-season is going down in history.  Best ever?  Well, it’s not the worst and I’m not waiting for Friday. The Ice Bucket Challenge began in July in support of ALS research.  Read more about it here and hire Frates & Quinn for more marketing campaigns.  The movement […]

Think, think, think.

Today, I’m calling on all of you to focus. Does this help? No? How about… That ought to do it.  Now, bring the power of your mind to bear on the universe and let’s see if we can’t get James Neal and Chris Kunitz back in the Pittsburgh lineup tonight. For the record, I don’t […]

Put Me In, Coach

If I were the Penguins coach (or a mom, high school principal, etc.), I imagine there would be a lot of exchanges like this one from the new episode of In the Room [video]: James Neal being a shit. Me not stopping till Neal owned up to his problem out loud. Kunitz’s face. Followed immediately […]

Pens & Paws

Before you look at these photos, go to the Animal Rescue League website and order a Penguins & Paws 2014 Calendar.  Support adorable, fuzzy faces of the four-legged variety! Huge thanks to @alisonsykora‘s mom Heidi, who took pictures of every page with her phone for us.  She likes James Neal the best because she’s a […]

Hockey Halloween!

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 […]

James Neal Wasn’t Done

Puppies?  BAH.  That’s not enough.  James Neal noticed that some of you had regained consciousness after the pet calendar shoot yesterday, so he went to the Boys & Girls Club. Video: James Neal Boys & Girls Club Visit If you can’t play, this is a really great way to show off your hair and hoodie. […]

Broke & Fabulous: Penguins

Holy Hannah.  Every time I refresh Twitter, someone has been given a zillion dollars!  Since we have all summer to look at the crazy things NHL teams are doing, let’s start with our own favorites. Ladies and gentlemen, the Pittsburgh Penguins: While I enjoy a gleeful shopping binge every once in a while, the bill […]

Everybody Get Up

The Penguins have won 5 games straight.  In that span: They won four 1-goal games, including 1 OT and 1 shootout. Chris Kunitz has 8 goals… three of them on Pittsburgh Penguins Sock Monkey Night, creating officially the most adorable hat trick in NHL history.   Asked how he felt about seeing sock monkeys on […]

Skates, Plates & Prom Dates

Sweetie, your prom date is here. You’re dad’s thinking, “Whew.  My daughter’s safe with this dork.” Sorry to be late – the Penguins annual Skates & Plates benefit was a few days ago.  You know, the one where they get dressed up and try not to drop food on themselves, people, the floor give us […]

I Love You, Tomorrow.

Mr. Pants needs to be on the Food Network so I can retire and just blog all day.  There are so many good things! You’ve all heard by now that the Crosbot is practicing with the Pens.  He’s not cleared for contact, but aren’t you just glad to see this face?! Here’s the post-practice interview […]
