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 […]
Some weeks are rough. Chuck has worked 60 hours already and it’s not even noon. I’ve had a few days that I could have done without. We’re all mildly panicking because it’s August and we need to wear every dress and pair of open-toed heels before the weather turns. We are not tan enough, haven’t […]
Back on Monday, Steven Stamkos and James Neal played in the RBC Canadian Open. As always, golf is just an excuse to make questionable fashion decisions and work on your aim. Like any good night out. Stammer took this opportunity to wear this: Source: Twitter What is this math?! I see constants – hideous sponsor-required […]
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 […]
It’s going to be a long summer of Tumblr and Instagram and whatever you guys send us, but doesn’t it make you happy to know that even in summer things are the same? Somewhere in California, Sidney Crosby is assaulting pockets in a sports store where he never expected there to be a girl. (Source: […]
Please enjoy the hold photo while Pants deletes everything she previously wrote about disliking tattoos. Better, whole photo courtesy of @Laurrrr_41. Not only did she survive this but she’s followed by The Backstreet Boys. The girl’s a hero. Lindsay called for pictorial evidence (not pectoral, though that is also on display) that Neal’s tattoo is getting […]
Never in considering playoff beards or writing this informative and newsworthy weekly feature did we expect to find that so many people share our affinity for ginger beards. You’re all into hockey, that’s enough to make us friends. This common captivation with facial hair takes our relationship to the next level. Since we’ve made ginger […]
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], […]
I’m not into reality TV (besides sports), but may I suggest a new program? Penguins Bachelor Auction – Talent Competition Episode One: Sidney Crosby’s sex hair vs. James Neal’s ginger beard Somewhere, Pierre weeps. Neal’s Strategy: Curls for the girls. I’m just saying – NBC Sports Network is showing cycling reruns when there is money […]
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 […]
Check out these gorgeous pictures from Carmen Mandato Photography. Large, hi-res versions are on the website along with a few shots of other teams. People have asked if she’ll have prints available for sale. She’s on Facebook too. God, don’t you just love hockey? And wish you had longer eyelashes? And feel relieved that no […]
I’m sorry this happened against Chuck’s Bruins, but there is nothing better than a joyous hockey hug. Bonus Neal’s face. Sid looks the same. I also looked that way, silently freaking out in a hotel lobby. Update (thanks Alison): Action hug gif. I love that Crosby is this happy for his guys – especially a […]
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 […]
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 […]
Knowing that Stamkos, Neal and Tavares are friends off the ice, the imaginary chirping that goes on in my head over the NHL goal scoring leaderboard is tremendous. For anyone who’s ever enjoyed NFL QBs Talkin’ on Facebook, I bring you this. Stammer – I’ve got 17 goals in 23 games. How you guys doing […]
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 […]
To start the first period vs. the Islanders last night, James Neal scored his sixth goal of the season. To end the period, he took a penalty. He’s too busy to fix his hair for interviews. NOPE. It’ll be a sad, scoreless day in the ‘Burgh before Nealer doesn’t care about his flow. This .gif […]
In this season’s first episode of the Penguins series “In the Room,” you can learn all about Joe Vitale, the very short pre-season and other fascinating hockey-related things. Then forget them all in the last 10 seconds. The next thing Sid will have to pick up off the floor is me. You can watch the […]
At the 1:28 mark of this post-practice interview from yesterday, watch how James Neal responds to being reunited on-ice with Malkin. It’s like his first day back at school, seeing that girl he had a crush on last year. In actual hockey news (sigh of relief), it looks like James is going to play the […]
Whatever you’re doing right now, just stop. It’s ruined. Along with everything else in your life that isn’t this picture or a chocolate-freaking-milkshake into which you drown your feelings about this picture. From The Fourth Period magazine, courtesy of Alison (@alisonsykora) Takeover Day. You know the little girl in the movie Annie who says, “Oh […]
