Once upon a time there was an All-Star Weekend that reminded me how much I love hockey. Well, that happens every year. But this weekend, like so much of this season, I didn’t actually get to watch anything. GAH! What follows is the best I was able to mash up from Twitter and my imagination… […]
GAAAHHHH! The start of hockey season is racing past while I am so busy at work. Leave it to this to get me out of the office… IT’S A PIG! Named Truffles! It is in the Pens & Paws annual animal rescue calendar and isn’t it precious?! You can see the whole video here. […]
Hello internet! Hockey is upon us and I, for one, am not ready. Starbucks can sling all the pumpkin spice mochachocalattas they want, but it just doesn’t feel like fall until I see this: Okay, now it’s fall. Our friend Heather is a spare-time ace photographer, and took these gorgeous shots at Penguins training camp. In […]
The Penguins traded their annual Skates & Plates waiter gear for other ill-fitting suits this year and hosted Aces & Ice Casino Night last night. It looked like the World’s Most Awkward Wedding Party. But two drinks in, the bridesmaids are yelling, “DIBS!” and making shanks out of bobby pins. The dads, like Alison’s dad there on […]
A snappy headline escapes me today, but the annual Pens & Pins charity event was held last night, and look who was looking good. PensTV has a video feature from the event. Everyone is always having so much fun, from the players to the kids. And who wouldn’t? Bowling makes awkward lumps of us all […]
@raedanda sends me the best work emails! Today it was this KDKA-TV sneak preview of the WHIRL Magazine January cover shoot with everybody’s boyfriends: That’s right – pre-mumps Crosby and Geno, part-time models. You know I live for shots of Sid putting on his jersey (3:15 mark, someone gif that please). Put this January issue […]
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 […]
Unusual is the day Chuck & I can be equally depicted by a single .gif: GAME SEVENS FOR ALL OUR TEAMS! We’re supposed to love it, right? This is what sports are all about? YES. PUNCHING. I will see you guys tonight. For additional inspiration, enjoy this video – and Sid’s beard, which I really do […]
In Disney World commercials, a kid walks into the theme park where Mickey, Donald and all the characters are lined up waiting to greet her. You know, the kind of magical thing that never happens when you actually go there. Unless you went with us this weekend to Pittsburgh. Lindsay, Alison, Emma and I arrived from […]
(Note: Lethan Weapon is one of the best bromance movies of all time. Bust out the VHS and watch it.) If you can’t hold a puppy or a baby, the next best prop for maximum cuteness is Evgeni Malkin. I swear, if I baked a cake and that cake took a shelter dog for a walk […]
The holiday season is here! We have stuffed our faces and basked in food coma. We’ve broken out the ski socks and mittens. I watched 5 straight episodes of Covert Affairs before bothering to check if I could fast forward the commercials. Now that we’re back after American Thanksgiving, everyone is ready to work: Movember is […]
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 […]
We have referred to ourselves as JamesNeal.com in the past, and I think we’ve done a pretty good job cheerleading our favorite gingerbeard. Now there is actually a JamesNeal18.com and honestly, it rhymes. The whole glorious homepage is a Real Deal rhyme scheme. I cannot compete with that. What James’ new official site does not […]
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 […]
It’s been suggested the entire Penguins PR staff is made up of 20-something girls with excellent internet understanding. Based on today’s evidence, this court concurs. Penguins and Pets Calendar Shoot Puppies! And cuddling! And days of the week! Wait, I got carried away. Is this calendar delivered with an ice cream cake covered in sprinkles? […]
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 […]
As much as I like intensely battled hockey games, it’s nice to get a big win once in a while. It’s nice to take a 3-1 playoff series lead. Last night’s Pens/Sens game significantly reduced my risk of a heart attack. Malkin said Neal was ready to bust out of his scoring slump [link], […]
The NHL wants to make up for the lockout, draw casual fans back into hockey and perhaps attract some new ones in a less turbulent year, because we’re still really mad at them. Right? Not now, girls. Er, we may be feeling warmer and fuzzier and playoff-ier… Seriously! Hold it together. Then someone says: from […]
During last night’s Capitals vs. Penguins game, the role of the Caps was played by Honey Boo Boo: Or maybe she was playing me, and those pumpkins are my fumbled, oddly-shaped emotions. The Capitals can juggle two things. Or two periods of hockey. It’s the third thing, usually the middle period, that falls apart and […]
