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 […]
Chuck has lost her mojo. She’s using words like “uninspired” and “can’t muster the enthusiasm” to describe her current state of hockey-related ennui. Well, it’s Ebs’s first-ever pro hat trick to the rescue! In my our his ongoing effort to make the whole world #TeamEbs, Jordan scored 4 goals and 1 assist on Saturday night. […]
I was going to simply Tweet that “Ebs had his jersey retired by the Regina Pats on Wednesday” with a link to the only news story that had an photo [link]. Then I found proof that he can be adorable even when he sounds like the teacher from Charlie Brown (everyone does in this video): […]
Chuck had a dream last night that Jordan Eberle was her boyfriend. Normally I would say that my work here is done, but Ebs and Co. will not be satisfied until they 1) lead the AHL and 2) convert you all. There’s still one holdout, she’s over there. The OKC Barons have won their last […]
America, land of democracy. To prove that every vote counts, not just the people running the place: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAYLOR HALL. (That sound you hear is Amanda and Jess crashing to the floor.) Since Taylor’s living and playing in the US, his 21st birthday is a big deal. We hope he makes good decisions, […]
Well someone’s playing hockey – and having a lot of fun doing it. If you think that I saw this link on Twitter last night, got out of bed and went to my computer to watch it with better video quality, you guessed right! Emilio Estevez – Post-Game [link] In which he calls a teammate […]
I seem to have failed, through all the posts and games and screaming fits, to truly appreciate one aspect of hockey’s influence on my life: stress relief. Sure I get worked up about the games – rip a pillow, maybe throw a shoe – but it vents all my work frustration at the same time. […]
It’s Monday, and the first of October. I expected to be writing about pre-season games and the fact that in 10 days, the regular season would start on my birthday. Followed by the Caps home opener on October 12, Mike’s birthday. Instead, we’re still on golf. I’ll admit it: I saw this picture several times […]
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 […]
We have to make a whole category for this if we’re going to get through the off-season. Can someone remind me what we did in the summer before Twitter? How did we ever know: Who makes double entendres with random-yet-endearing capitalization? What Ebs dreams of when he looks in the mirror? Who needs you to […]
Jordan Eberle really wants to be our intern. He applies twice a week – and those are just the resumes we see. Imagine how many Intern Jeff Skinner has intercepted! As “Job Experience,” Jordan humbly mentioned that he’s s a spectacular hockey player. He has 25 G/30 A this season, another in the Oilers rebuilding campaign. Edmonton […]
I like to think that if your car breaks down in Canada, you take it to a place like this. Stamkos, Eberle, Phaneuf and Spezza in the new commercial Nike “Clutch” truck commercial. Oh, Eberle. Checking himself out in the hubcap.
Mikey hosted a charity golf tournament yesterday, benefiting KidSport Alberta. Awww. In attendance were iCarly, Karl Alzner, Zach Boychuk, Cody Franson and Jordan Eberle. And Nicky of course. He was rocking a shorter haircut. I may have enjoyed this photo for five whole minutes before noticing his hair. No word on who won the tournament […]
