And the award goes to…
NEALMOBILE for the first goal of the Penguins season! Get it, baby. It’s going to be a great year. Stop, you can’t even! James Neal is trending WORLDWIDE. How many Tweets did I write?!?!
Intern Desk: Dear Diary
A bunch of you sent us this link and I’m so sorry that I’m slow in posting. I was laugh-crying so hard I couldn’t type. Some gems from this fantastic game show: Most Uncomfortable: Intern Jeff Skinner’s “short shifts” apparently translate off the ice. Is he old enough to be making these jokes? Best Admission […]
I Love You, Tomorrow.
Mr. Pants needs to be on the Food Network so I can retire and just blog all day. There are so many good things! You’ve all heard by now that the Crosbot is practicing with the Pens. He’s not cleared for contact, but aren’t you just glad to see this face?! Here’s the post-practice interview […]
We said COME IN!
The rest of the Pens also participated in season ticket delivery – but none appear to have eaten a cookie. If only they’d known Crosby said it was okay! Check out Jordan’s goober wave as he approaches the first house. [link] And the tween girls who get their picture with him. Their lives just peaked. Flower […]
Birthday Boy: James Neal
Happy 24th birthday to the Nealmobile! James Neal is 24 today. And this season he’s going to score 250 goals alongside Crosby. An exhaustive three minute Google search revealed that James like The Wedding Crashers, vanilla ice cream and music by Dierks Bentley. I believe that’s playing in my car right now. Hey, this video is […]
Foxy Friday: BioSteel Sports Camp
Okay, they earned it. Videos and photos and… thank heaven for this week. And for Alyonka Larionov (person I am most jealous of in the world!)’s Twitter photos. Who said something about Seguin wearing the heck out of a suit? Did you ask for a t-shirt? And Stamkos showing off (approved): I obliged Intern Jeff […]
Intern Desk: Field Report
Intern Jeff Skinner here, reporting from the field. Is there some kind of dictionary for girls? I cannot understand a word said in the WUYS office since that Kris Letang video. It’s like an Justin Bieber concert! Sure, he makes carrying Pants’ purse look waaaaaaay too easy but I am an athlete too. And I’ve been […]
What-To-Do Wednesday
Today is officially the Longest Day Ever. There is even a trophy. To alleviate boredom, we suggest you follow the Nealmobile on Twitter – @jneal_18. It’s really the only hope today has to become more exciting. This picture is from the 2010 Dallas Stars calendar. Someone clearly should have bought this for us. It looks […]
Memo from the Intern Desk
Hello. Intern Jeff Skinner is still here. I bring bagels. I held Pants’ hair while she got sick after that 24-hour implosion by all that she holds dear. What does an intern have to do to get a post around here? How about score 2 goals against France in the World Championships? Because I did. […]
If We Ruled the World
I choose to ignore today’s Penguins game, which they lost 8-2. Instead, let’s talk about this. If you ofter follow the Pens Report on the team website, you’ve been enjoying the hilarity of Sam Kasan for ages. My favorite thing about him is usually the “inspirational” YouTube music videos in his daily entries. But this […]
It just takes one.
You don’t even KNOW how happy this makes me. Nealmobile got a commercial for his double OT game-winner! And the announcers had it spot on as it happened… I’ve got the chills! Time to run around the block. Is it Saturday yet?!
Double Oh Baby.
PENS WIN! So they had a two goal lead, let it get away and had to slog into double OT to take a 3-1 lead in the series. A win is a win is a win and last night… James Neal, you stud! Way to make up for a lack of production in a big way. […]
Know When to Hold 'Em
I’m not getting too excited over the Game 1 victory in Pittsburgh, because Kenny Rogers says you never count your money while you’re sitting at the table. But there was definitely some screaming last night (aside from cries of anguish over the Blackhawks) because I do get excited over strong starts and shutouts. James […]
Pens Appreciation Post
I love end of the year fan appreciation stuff like a love I good montage at the Oscars. It was Penguins “Shirts Off Our Backs” night last night. Down Dawn, they were wearing shirts underneath. Kris took his skates off, but still tucked his jersey into the back of his pants. Just to make sure […]
