Welcome to the Land of Nothing Left to Talk About, where I dredge the internet for blog topics. Today, I got a kick out of these: From GongshowGear.com First of all, who researches these pants? Do they go around measuring hockey players? Or better yet, is there a back room and one of those tailor […]
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 […]
This is a few days old, but the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. It doesn’t hurt if you’ve got a smile like Flower’s, either. Also doing good work for the holidays – the Blackhawks, helping the Greater Chicago Food Depository [link]. Jon’s getting way too much hand-in-pocket […]
You all know Crosby and Toews are two of the NHL players meeting with a group of owners today, sans Bettman and Fehr. It could mean nothing or everything, but I really appreciate seeing these two still fighting. They’ve given up their seasons too. If they’d already gone to Europe I don’t know what hope […]
Patrick Kane likes to party. In other news, Tyler Seguin is hot. When two things so obvious to the world collide, it can only end in Bromaggedon. First, it was just casual hanging out. Maybe a Tuesday night happy hour, catch a movie in English with both French and German subtitles that cover half the […]
If you got 21 seconds with Jonathan Toews, is this how you would spend it? I used to be a ski racer. I can have someone out of that much gear with time left over for hot chocolate. Bauer hired Toews, Kane, all the Staals (sorry Jared) AND Giroux to star in their new […]
While the East Coast was stockpiling batteries and Twizzlers on Friday in anticipation of Frankenstormpocalypse, the Chicago Blackhawks and friends were playing in the Champs for Charity hockey game. Photos from the Chicago Tribune They look as happy as I feel, and I wasn’t even there! All it takes is a little hockey. Even Jon […]
I can’t do a Foxy Friday when I’m this upset. Furious Friday, maybe. You can read all about the depressing turndowns of the NHL and NHPLA competing offers at yesterday’s meetings in Toronto. I have seen enough. The NHL took a swing at the PR tide by announcing a 50/50 offer to the NHLPA. It’s […]
Well look who got a haircut: It’s because I’m going to the Canadian Embassy for a work thing today, and he wanted to look all clean-cut and charming. So if you don’t hear from me… Back to Tazer, as this this kind of thing is big news these days. Until MG52’s hair makes a public […]
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 […]
Guest post time! (And Pants fixed her broken photos, sorry.) Hi, I’m Jess! You may remember me from such WUYS guest appearances such as Up Close and Personal and Our Friends Party With the NHL. Pants and Chuck have once again let me take over their blog so that I can drop a little ‘Hawks fandom on y’all. My […]
Somewhere in the world, Jonathan Toews is playing golf [link]. It’s July. Work with us on the “news” here. It’s for a good charitable cause too – not just an excuse to dust of the old “Toews Does Squats” category. Okay, it’s arguably not a squat. But who says Captain Wonder Bread is not fun? […]
Happy 24th birthday, Tazer! Captain Fill-in-the-Blank, fearless leader of the Chicago Blackhawks, is celebrating a birthday. Do you think he eats cake? I think he does today. A whole cake, in front of the TV, yelling at the Flyers/Devils game sounds about right. I might do the same – you know, in solidarity. Then we […]
If I were ever on a sinking ship, I’d want to look across the deck and see Jonathan Toews in charge of the lifeboats because you know everyone is getting to safety in a single file line holding their toothbrush and enough money to call home. I do go on about Tazer, particularly the game […]
Last night was not good for anyone. Sidney took a puck to the face. I’ve said “not the face!” many times, but never at such volume. Sid bled everywhere and then did what hockey players do best, let it stop and kept playing. Well, it didn’t totally stop. He will play tonight against Buffalo, a […]
I have been ignoring this, hoping it will go away. No such luck. Jonathan Toews will miss his 5th straight game today. His “upper body” injury is believed to be related to a concussion [link], and rumor has it he hid the symptoms for a while. I can believe that, because you know he’s pissed. […]
I wish I had more free time, so I could make up stuff like this. The Staal’s different haircuts… genius! You can see/buy them all here: Skreened.com/refusehockey. Can I request a special edition that says INTERN over a brown-haired picture with a 53 on the back?
Well the Blackhawks cannot win a road game and somebody’s feeling feisty. Joey’s jealous because Chuck never made him a Foxy Friday. Jon was rubbing it in, so Ryane Clowe came over to represent. Tazer has two career fights, and he lost them both. He’s a beast but I’m going to say that fighting Jumbo […]
The Blackhawks kick off a nine game road trip in Vancouver tonight and guess who’s back? No big deal. Jonathan Toews suffered an injury to his left wrist on Jan. 21 vs. Nashville, then missed one game and the All-Star Weekend festivities. Maybe he was just worried about getting picked so late again. Patrick Sharp, […]
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 […]
