Today marks what I hope will be a semi-annual feature extolling the virtues and magnificence of one very special person. Like my esteemed colleague Pants, and her undying love for Mike Green, my love and admiration for Tyler Seguin has become too great and all consuming for it to not have its own dedicated day. […]
You guys sure are persistent. Whenever we ask, “Hmm, who should we pick for Foxy Friday?”, you all do this: Ignoring you, we look out the window and see: Ha, pitiful fence. That won’t hold you! Intern Jeff Skinner can only turn and flee as you stampede into our office: Okay, okay! We hear you. […]
To say that Chuck and I are busy is like saying that Tyler Seguin is attractive: both true and a laughably inadequate description of real life. Today is Tyler’s 22nd birthday. It’s also Friday. Despite emails arriving in my inbox so frequently that the little “ping” now sounds like a goal horn, I thought […]
You fill in the blank. Last night, Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley both scored in the shootout to lift the Stars over the Bruins. Perhaps it is a little poetic justice for those two guys who had to endure the embarrassing and juvenile booing and chants each time they touched the puck. Booing? Really? Why is that […]
After his abrupt and somewhat surprising departure from Boston this summer, tonight marks Tyler Seguin’s return to Boston. It’s been four months since the fireworks of the July 4th trade that sent Seguin to Dallas Stars. The pain of that day still stings at times, but like any resilient New Englander, I just have to […]
#Camp Video, Day 2. All you need to know is… Damn it, Dallas. Only kidding! Thankyouverymuch, Stars. Also HI JOEL WARD!!! And Hal Gill never ages. Is BioSteel really embalming fluid? Because the man doesn’t look a day over 28 (he’s 38). Okay, have at it. Nealer was interviewed on TSN last night […]
Yesterday was America’s birthday. There were barbecues, patriotic music, fireworks, waving flags…and one very big trade. Yesterday, the Bruins decided to have their own pyrotechnic display when they traded former 1st round draft pick Tyler Seguin, Rich Peverley, and prospect Ryan Button to the Dallas Stars for Loui Eriksson and three prospects – Joe Morrow, […]
We don’t watch as much Western Conference hockey as we’d like – it’s past our bedtimes. For those who do, and whose teams ended their 2011-2012 seasons last night, this one’s for you. The Dallas Stars finished in 9th place last year too. Frustrated but the hopeful. The ultimate hockey fan emotions. Flames fans are […]
Kris Letang took a hit to the head last night and left the Pens game in the first with an “upper body injury.” Immediately, commentators began fighting. Some say Letang put himself in a vulnerable position. Others are calling for Eric Nystrom’s suspension. EJ Hradek of NHL Network says: ESPN’s (former Foxy Friday) John Buccigross […]
The Dallas Stars signed Mike Modano to a one day contract so he could retire as a member of the team he played with for 20 seasons. CLASS ACT. Modano will officially announce at 2 PM ET today and you can watch it live on NHL.com. NHL Network will premiere “Mike Modano: American Icon,” a […]
So Sean Avery is a moron. In other news, water is wet. Avery was arrested early this morning for shoving a Hollywood, CA police office who was responding to a noise complaint about a loud party at Avery’s house [link, and yes I picked the TMZ one on purpose]. He must have had The Hangover […]
Best. Sunday. Ever. All my boys played and did well today! The Caps are ‘Winning’ and not like Charlie Sheen. They gave the smack down to Derp face and Charlie’s true other brother Kaner Sunday to make it eight straight! But not without some cardiac arrest allowing Derpy to score with like 40 seconds left to send the damn thing […]
The long weekend is over, it’s back to work and you know what I feel like? Chuck loves it too: I tried to watch the Heritage Classic, but I couldn’t focus my eyes on the bizarre non-color of the Flames shorts. Is that taupe? Nude, maybe? If you’re going to commit to sweaters and socks […]
Training camps opened Friday and over the weekend a lot of people (who weren’t me) got to see some pre-season hockey. It looks like the Blackhawks had the most fun, as the Champs should, by hosting their annual Training Camp Festival including… wait for it… a rollerblading race! Mr. Pants is very jealous because he […]
