Since we couldn’t attend Canada on Saturday evening, welcome Alison (@alisonsykora) with a guest post! I told myself I didn’t care anymore. The lockout was dragging and NHL hockey was no longer a part of my life. I had accepted it and moved on. Then the RBC Charity Challenge happened. “Mwhahahaha,” said Stamkos. The NHLPA […]
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 […]
SANTA, YOU LISTENED! Dear sweet Mother of I Don’t Know What I Did to Deserve This but your girl here was apparently on the REALLY REALLY NICE list this year, and Christmas is a little early. I screamed when I saw these. My boss came running and found me face down on my desk pointing […]
The number of NHL-player charity hockey games that I could not attend increased on Saturday night, with “Rock the Lockout” in Windsor, Ontario. Coached by the Windsor Spitfire’s staff and captained by Steve Ott and Dan Clearly, a total of 28 goals were scored in the contest. The event drew 4,500 fans, including WUYS pal […]
Let’s talk about this photo James Neal posted on Twitter the other day, after a backyard hockey game at Gary Roberts’ house. First of all, Gary Roberts, why aren’t you my father? Also, if you have any daughters I presume you’ve locked them up before inviting your padawans over. Secondly, this would never work on […]
If I’d planned better, I would have made it to Atlantic City for the Operation Hat Trick charity hockey game on Saturday night. As it was, I couldn’t find any pants to fit me after Thanksgiving and it’s really tacky/cold to wear a hockey jersey as a dress. Luckily, other people with cameras were there. […]
Just when I was complaining that there’s nothing to talk about… So what, right? Biz in his panties, what else is new? There’s also a Playboy Playmate featured in the photo shoot. I haven’t seen the pics because the very idea just gave my computer an STD. Look again. WHAT? We used to be a […]
As if the lockout wasn’t bad enough, Steven Stamkos hates me. He seems to think that in this terrible time, I should suffer even more. I’m not even talking about those pants. A beard?! Stopityouarekillingme! How dare you look this charming and reference the playoffs when the only hockey I can get is reruns of […]
You knew it would happen. No one can be this hilarious and adorable (and talented) without landing in the Foxy Friday history books. Also, as a Pens fan, I know that life without Geno is a cold, sad place in which James Neal scores no goals. I could (and might) look at pictures of Evengi […]
HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY, NEALMOBILE! It’s definitely been JamesNeal.com around here lately – we just can’t help ourselves. Here’s James at the Altoona Curve game last week, talking labor disputes and lockouts: Warning: The video is as shaky as if I were filming this. And what James is doing with the rest of his summer: The […]
Suddenly there is a deluge of proof that hockey players believe this season will happen. Every time a bell rings, Intern Jeff Skinner does a squat. Oh wait, everyone does squats. It’s a Foxy Friday party in the gym. Video: Intern Jeff Skinner has great legs (bonus: James Neal) This is my serious face. There’s […]
Another day. Another video from Camp BioSteel. Nealmobile! FINALLY! We were beginning to wonder about him…. He looks like he just woke up and hasn’t had his Paul Martin omelet yet. Get that boy a bagel, stat. BTW – Love that guy’s stank face on the right. It’s as if he realizes he’ll never be […]
Be honest. At least once a week you look in the mirror and think about washing your hair. It kind of needs it. Like 60%. You waver for a moment, then say forget it. Because if James Neal doesn’t do it, you can go one more day. Today is that day. Someone pointed out last […]
This post is from Pants, not Chuck. That is nothing short of a miracle – a miracle that involves a hot guy baby-talking his puppy. Damn it, Tyler Seguin! That was my last line of defense. Video: Tyler Seguin and his puppy ruin your life. If you’re still alive after that, how about being jealous […]
We all know that hockey players are foxy. I mean, why else would we devote an entire blog day to them? Also foxy – the same hockey players with puppies. Seriously. I double dog dare you to find anything foxier. (Don’t even try. Because you won’t.) This week’s Foxy Friday is dedicated to those furry […]
Marc-Andre Fleury was handsomely married to his longtime girlfriend Veronique on Saturday. We bring you highlights from the Red Carpet Show, with your host Sidney Crosby. Sid: This is Captain Tiny Pockets, reporting live from… wait, what is that? Neal, Tanger, are you seeing what I see? James: Uhhhhhhhuh. Kris: Busy checking out #18 there, […]
You know those movies where every single thing happens in one day and you’re thinking, “Right, who ever has a day like that?” Then in the middle of this: This happens: The trade was tempered by news on Wednesday that Jordan turned down a 10-year, $60 million deal with the Penguins. He had one year […]
For a few days after something bad happens, you don’t want to be cheered up. You want to drown in a cocktail shaker or eat an entire wedding cake. If you’re me, you picked a bright orange heavy bag and kickboxed the crap out of it a la Captain America. Then life goes on. Other […]
At Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon in Austin, TX, every Sunday night they play Chicken Sh*t Bingo. It’s exactly what it sounds like – feed a chicken, turn it loose on a tabletop bingo board and wherever it takes a crap, that number goes on the board. I’m pretty sure this is also how the NHL […]
Uh, there’s something missing from your post Chuck. James Neal’s 40th goal of the season! The Nealmobile was honking like mad last night as James hit this milestone. His previous career-high was 27 goals in 2009-10. How fun it must be to play alongside Geno (105 points this year) and sometimes Sid (22 points in […]
