Ohhhh, HAT trick. I thought you said PANT trick. That’s how my jeans ended up on the ice. Could I have them back? Nealmobile had a hat trick last night! It was the second of his career and first with the Penguins, for a whopping 37 goals on the season. Goal #1: Stand There, Look […]
Go to the mirror right now. Look at yourself and say, “Plaid suit” three times. James Neal and Claude Giroux will be fighting to climb out. (If you’re too young to know Candyman or Beetlejuice, ignore that.) When someone’s watching, you always think, “I’m definitely going to mess up.” Like a cute guy smiles and […]
Geno: You said 7:30. James: I said 6:30. Geno: My English is not so good. James: … We all know when the Nealmobile episode of NHL 36 premieres: TOMORROW.
TWO DAYS, people! James is ready. Are you?
Coming to your TV, more of this face. Less of this mustache.
James Neal had a shootout goal last night against his former team. That’s got to feel pretty good. Especially since he hasn’t scored in 5 games and is a little stuck at the 30 goal mark. (Hahaha, stuck. At a career-high 30 goals.) Remember when he scored a shootout goal vs. Florida last March and […]
Your daily dose of James Neal, courtesy of Louise (@loulipops)! James Neal & Jared Boll – Roommates [video]. These two were rommates back with the Plymouth Whalers (OHL) and clearly still lurrrrve each other. There’s a moment in this video where Nealmobile scores in Dallas and hugs Sean Avery – NO GOD, GROSS! – but […]
James, on his way to the WUYS office to watch the NHL36 premiere. He might want to bring the barricade too. Just in case.
On a scale of one to this picture, how excited are you?
Melissa (@melfior829) had a lovely idea – Countdown to James Neal’s NHL36. Maybe one picture a day? I think we can do that. As of right now… Can I actually wear this and get away with it? I’m serious.
Good thing I can see the TV from where I have collapsed to the floor. (Love to @jfrancesw, as always.)
I was in the middle of doing something, I swear. Then this Tweet appeared: Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Flatline. NHL 36: James Neal will air Wednesday, March 7, at 6:30 p.m., Eastern, on NBC Sports Network. Later that evening, NBC Sports Network will air the Penguins’ home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs at 7:30 p.m. ET. [link] Potential […]
If I have to be up early on a Sunday, let there be good news every time. James Neal scored his 30th goal of the season yesterday in Pittsburgh’s win over Philly. This morning, the Penguins announced they’ve signed Neal to a six-year contract extension [link]. Six more years?! Excuse me while I… The deal […]
In honor of making it halfway through this week, here are five things that I love about today. 1. James Neal’s career-high 28th goal, and there are still 28 games left to play. (Bonus: Awkwardly close-up post-game interview video.) 2. Steven Stamkos has scored against every NHL team [video]. And he got a League-leading 35th […]
Sid and the Pens held a press conference yesterday to prove that he still looks this good in a suit. Also to clarify the neck injury he was diagnosed with by an LA doctor – it’s a “soft tissue” injury, not broken vertebrae. He was treated in LA with injections to relieve the swelling and […]
When Mr. Pants and I boarded our flight in Houston on Saturday, I had NO idea there would be individual TVs on the plane. Then I saw the All-Star Game Skills Competition was on. I may have screamed. One swipe of the AMEX later, I was sitting an inch from the screen with a huge […]
Tonight, we’ll find out who’ll be the Phil Kessel of the 2012 All Star game. (Perhaps it’ll be Phil Kessel. That would be amazing.) At 8pm tonight, fifty of the best hockey players in the world (38 NHL All-Stars and 12 top rookies) will be up for selection in the Player Fantasy Draft. All-stars and […]
Hey, I’m back! Intern Jeff Skinner reporting for duty! No one around here seems to care, since Pants was on vacation and leaves again tomorrow for her honeymoon. Supposedly she doesn’t know where they’re going. Pretend to act surprised when it’s Pittsburgh. At least then she can’t keep telling me I should have closed my […]
What was that??? HOW? Because he’s magical and sparkly. Also, his foot was broken about 20 years ago. That healed fracture showed on his x-rays following the injury, but a further MRI showed it wasn’t a current break [link]. So Nealmobile’s got a bruise that probably hurts like the devil, but he’s tough. And he […]
I’d like to float the idea that we may have misunderstood the rapture. It wasn’t coming for us, it was coming for hockey. And it’s pretty much called up everyone from the Pittsburgh Penguins (I knew they were the best.) James Neal out “weeks” with a broken foot. Jordan Staal out 4-6 weeks with a knee […]
