Do you remember the year Ray Bourque left the Bruins for the Avalanche? The next season he won the only Stanley Cup of his incredible career, then retired? It was flag-waving, heart-soaring, Disney-worthy stuff. A Boston sport radio station bought billboards in Denver to wish Ray luck. If you weren’t crying, you were the Devils. […]
We’re getting close to the end, and the biggest, baddest beards of this year’s playoffs are vying for their chance to reach the ultimate goal: full growth. In this week’s BeardWatch, we give praise to the best of what’s still around in the Conference Championships, your current frontrunners for 2013 Playoff Beard of the Year, Jaromir […]
Patrice Bergeron certainly has a flair for the dramatic, doesn’t he? First, his game tying and then game winning OT goal verses Toronto in Round 1 and now this. While credit goes to Bergeron for scoring the goal, mad props go to Jaromir Jagr for making it all possible. His play on Evgeni Malkin […]
Back when we listed the most common playoff beard types, you may recall we included the “Maybe Don’t” category. This is the circular file where well-intentioned and enthusiastic efforts are stored until perfect attendance awards are handed out. ‘A’ for effort and all that. Since then we have admired the burgeoning beauty of many beards. […]
Last night was a heart breaker when the Caps lost in OT to Boston – I’m sure Ovi had this Nightmare: And Seidenberg tried to take Ovi out with this hit but he found that weebles wobble but they don’t fall down! If Ovi can knock Jagr into next year at the Olympics, you’ll have to try harder Siddy-bergy than […]
So when this campaign started the feedback was terrible so they adjusted it STAT because it was like the MasterCard ad, the Hockey Discover Card and “I Just Want My Pants Back” had a drunken three way, someone got pregnant and no one wanted to take responsibility for the monster that came of it. Hockey fans will […]
Tonight’s the night, and it’s not Santa coming to town. Jaromir Jagr will bring his orange sweater to Pittsburgh for the first time. Jagr played 11 seasons with the Penguins before being traded to the Capitals, then the Rangers. After the ’08 season, he returned to the Czech Republic and played three years in their […]
Jaromir Jagr is 39 years old. Someone making a late-career comeback always worries me, mostly because I like to see great players go out with style. So when I first heard Jagr was coming back, I cringed. I didn’t really care that he went to the Flyers – he’s already gone to the Caps and […]
This whole grad school business is going to seriously cut into my hockey watching time. Class this semester is on Thursdays, which means that I’m going to have to tape alot of games this year, only to watch them when I get home at 9:30pm. Chuck no likey. Yesterday, I taped the Bruins game (natch) […]
Mike! I told you the fight was plenty, and the sweaty Ovi workout shirt you stole for Dawn. Please stop lavishing me with gifts for our joint birthday celebration. Good thing it’s over, I’m not sure what else you might do. Caps TV did a totally boring Mike Green birthday segment in which Mike showed […]
