Before anything major can happen today (we should have about 10 minutes, or unit Jason Spezza is official), let’s talk about what has already happened to our lives. I was out Friday night/most of Saturday with no phone. I apologize to those who texted and Tweeted , only to assume I’d retreated with a gallon of ice […]
We keep saying #isitOctoberyet?!?! when really, summer has been great. It allowed me to forget that Danny Briere is now a Montreal Canadien. Don’t get me wrong – this is better (for me) than Danny Briere being a Flyer. Even if it gave him a sad and that hurt my heart. I could get used […]
Do you remember the year Ray Bourque left the Bruins for the Avalanche? The next season he won the only Stanley Cup of his incredible career, then retired? It was flag-waving, heart-soaring, Disney-worthy stuff. A Boston sport radio station bought billboards in Denver to wish Ray luck. If you weren’t crying, you were the Devils. […]
Hockey is a taskmaster. It does not care that we’ve put off our lives for the last six months. It has no sympathy for my split ends, ragged cuticles or pile of overdue library books. Hockey doesn’t pause just because Jonathan Toews is on a bender and I want to watch the Blackhawks parade. Patrick […]
Honestly, sometimes the jokes write themselves. I was going to talk about Danny Briere’s concussion and No Trade Clause, but I typed “No Trade Claude.” Why yes, that’s exactly what I meant. It’s April, the Flyers are last in the Atlantic and I… won’t say anything mean. I still don’t like them and that’s all. […]
Time for my daily existential Danny Briere-related crisis. The Caps are so frustratingly bad right now that I swore I would not go tonight’s game. Despite taking 8 penalties in the first 34 minutes of last night’s match vs. Toronto, they managed to drag a one goal lead into the third period… and still blew […]
Oh holiday season, with your feelings of family and togetherness. There have been babies everywhere lately – my Thanksgiving, Christmas, office. And my Twitter feed: Too much? Not enough? Keep scrolling for more cute. Rangers, Flyers… it’s not the kids fault. 😉 Parker Staal has his own Tumblr feed, thankyouverymuch. Madison Quick could be our […]
Just in case tomorrow really is the end of the world, it’s been fun. The lockout can’t ruin hockey for me. I decide what I love about it, like the Penguins and Capitals at the same time. Throw in a Flyer while you’re at it. Expansion teams, underage boyfriends, never remembering if the Blackhawks are […]
Lindsay tried to warn Chuck about this last night – I’m surprised Chuck didn’t lock me out of here today! It’s not that serious, but I’ve got a recurring problem: every time I hear the Rascal Flatts song “Banjo,” I get really excited and start rocking out in my car. It’s a good 30 seconds […]
It was a banner weekend ladies as many of our men made history and milestones: chillin in the dome with Jerome: Iggy got his 500th goal. Teemu got his 651st goal by the end of the night. Little Danny Briere put on his big boy pants and got in his third ever fight and had […]
