Ok, so Pants and Chuck watched the Versus Broadcast and I watched the CBC broadcast because I don’t get Versus, both literally and philosophically. Below is the Sports Centre highlight of the Mad Skills wrap up if you want to watch. So here are my highlights and lowlights of the ASG weekend in no particular order: […]
Hockey players have mad skills. And what better way to showcase them, than with the always fun Super Skills Competition. So here are the results… Faster Skater – Michael Grabner (14.238 seconds) Breakaway – Alexander Ovechkin (38.5% of the fan votes). Accuracy – Daniel Sedin (4 for 4 in 7.3 seconds) Skills Challenge Relay – […]
Let’s take this in baby steps and try not to get too carried away. Because we could go on for DAYS about All-Star Weekend (wait, we already have). First, everyone missed their flights to Raleigh. Patrick Kane was busy packing his “Louis V shades.” Mike Green and Ovi couldn’t fit two grown men and hockey […]
I am watching the All-Star Mad Skills competition and look up and lo-and-behold – THIS. Did I just fall in to an alternative reality? Did the universe just shift like in the original Star Trek and they go through a worm hole and Capt. Kirk finds out that the Blue Chick is super hot and Spock is really […]
Dear Mr. Letang, in honor of the All-Star Game, we wish you the best of luck. We hope you keep your helmet off as much of possible, perhaps your shirt too, and get in front of the camera as much as possible please. Don’t be a wall-flower because we voted for you, we want to […]
The Coyotes really know how to party! Only in a place where it gets to be like a million degrees would they give away a wearable fleece blanket. Beer for a buck? I am so there. But does it come with a belt? Because that is what is in for this Spring – EVERYONE knows […]
We are just two minutes into tonight’s Penguins-New York Islanders game and there have been two fights already. I know they have a week off but for the love of all things hockey and Canadian, PLEASE DON’T HURT LETANG OR FLEURY tonight. Or you will screw my weekend. I’m just sayin’. I know there are a few […]
Um…? The Penguins had their annual Pens and Pins Charity Bowling event on 1/17 and either Malkin and Crosby have been seeing a faith healer or something is rotten in Pittsburg. Not to taint my love for all things Letang because he is still smokin’ hot as evidenced above but for realsies? This is one of the many reasons I can’t […]
The Caps had a great weekend! Nicky B. dropped his scoring drought-o-rama and Ovi has his 1oth career hat trick! Cheers all around! They held on to beat Toronto after the heart breaking loss last time when they were up 4-1. Holtby was in net and did an awesome job. Sorry kids but these two photos were just too awesome not […]
The NHL announced the Skills Competition format for this year’s All-Star Game. This has always been our favorite part of ASG weekend, because there is lots of skating without helmets. Lunchtime poll: Will Letang wears a helmet or not? He’d need a headband for sure but it’s a sin to cover up that hair. Maybe […]
And so it begins. A very important lesson why we all need to drink more water. ‘Because d’eye-dra-shun’ iz bad. Very bad. And za-coaches, zay, ‘el me, eye need to drink more. I don’t know ey, but I do. ‘ Nuf said’ Point taken – watch, learn and go get yourself a long, very cold […]
I only wish the weather report was brought to me every day like this. And I was right; even Kris admits he tries not to think. It’s OK. I’ll do all the thinking for us, I mean you. I could have been a member of Mensa but it was far too nerdy for me – I had […]
Ok – Mr. Cherrie is out of town with no internet access so I have to get this post out of my system because he is mad as a hornet that I have a crush on Kris Letang. And if you haven’t guessed, I don’t do anything half-assed. Spell check is telling me that is […]
When Pants and I were Twittering during the various 24/7 episodes, there were a few things I came to realize, Kris Letang is HOT. He is the only Penguin I will cop to that about. Secondly, way before this blog and 24/7, MAF caught my eye because a fan put a sign up against the glass for […]
The Pens have an All-Star reaction video up [Video]. It looks like the Grinch snuck in and cleared out their locker room. We can’t get 10 extra seconds to let Tanger talk? Bonus clip of him licking his lips while Sid talks – he could be thinking what I’m thinking. Apparently The Hat has not […]
Remember way back on November 15 when I posted my NHL All-Star Game starting lineup? Well 4 out of my 6 were just named All-Stars by the general fan voting! Once again, I control the Universe. Mikey was not on the list, but I’ll take Duncan Keith FTW! Also, Flower makes me a little, uh… […]
On Sunday, the Penguins were down 3-0 to the Senators in the 3rd period. But the power of the mustache prevailed – Crosby got a goal with 3+ minutes left to keep the streak (and the stache) alive. I have to say Sid must drink a lot of milk because his skin is amazing. [Today’s […]
Inspired by this hilarious selection for the “Double Date” feature on The Hockey Junkies, Dawn and I have been discussing bromances. In a sport full of hugging, how can you not have them? All those long road trips, you just want to cuddle on the flight home. And we just want to wade through days […]
… is being sooooooooo cloooooooooooose… ugh, I hate the guy from Rascall Flatts’ voice but there is no other way to describe Pittsburgh’s loss to the Rangers last night. Unless you’re Mr. Pants and (just to be an ass) you’re suddenly a Rangers fan who wants a vintage jersey. Shut up or you’re paying for […]
