In baseball, players get to choose the song that plays when they come up to bat. Sometimes they have a different song for each time through the rotation. Since you can’t play a song very time someone jumps over the boards, we thought we could give them another anthem: fight songs. My brain goes immediately […]
Fresh off a high from seeing my smokin’ hot Russian Bear in San Jose AND their win yesterday over Buffalo and the very talented and tough to beat Ryan Miller (whom I love BTW), I found this little nugget o’ gold. Mikey plays Bob Barker to help out a blog (Pants- THERE IS TOTES HOPE […]
Dawn and I are going to our first Caps game tonight in San Jose. Dawn will be wearing the aforementioned Ovechtrick head-to-toe ensemble. And she’s bringing me Caps gear. I might even wear it. At the very least I have consented to a red & white hoodie (from BU, gotta keep some of my dignity). […]
Some how they got inside and now they won’t leave. Talk about uninvited guests! BB is really mad! Ovi tried shouting BOOM but that only excited Animal more and he started banging on the cochlea which made Mike bitch slap Ovi. Nikky is whispering sweet nothings to no avail. Desperate, now Varly is walking back […]
Mike didn’t play in last night’s loss to Phoenix, though the Capitals said nothing before people realized he wasn’t on the ice at warm-ups. Now they’re telling – it’s “inner-ear trauma” resulting from the slapshot to the head on 2/6 [link]. All we can say is at least it’s not a concussion. Get well soon, […]
I was going to dedicate Mikey Monday to a hilarious trove of photos of Mike & Niklas Backstrom challenging Kaner & Toews for Bromance of the Millennium. Then I saw this: Marilyn Denis is a Canadian talk show host. That should be my job! She had Cabbie on the Street (Cabral Richards) on today with […]
What do you do when your two favorite teams are playing each other? Who do you root for? That was the imponderable conundrum of the day when the Washington Capitals played the LA Kings today. At least for me. So what do you all do? I figure there are no losers! Either way I’m a winner! […]
I watched Sunday’s Pens vs. Caps game at 9:30 AM in Las Vegas. Do you know how hard it is to organize 10 people before breakfast at a bachelor/bachelorette party? For hockey? My dedication knows no bounds. Mr. Pants insisted I bet on the Caps, which I did not. It’s sacrilege. Of course now the […]
Mike Green takes a puck to the head! As I write this at the end of the first period, Mike Green stops a hard straight on goal shot from Orpik, drops like a sack of potatoes in a pool of blood. He did skate off under his own power but went straight to the locker […]
The Penguins are on a holy terror and they are HANGRY! Have they been drinking their Ensure? Or are they just amped up for their game against the Caps this coming Sunday because bejesus! This wasn’t a Mike Green-style slap fight. While Cookie took a dive after a tap from DiPietro, Johnston called DiPietro out and then […]
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: […]
When I saw this photo, I nearly burst my spleen laughing. WHO DOES THESE? Either brilliant or tragic, you decide. Yah00! Puck Daddy caption: “Dude, senior prom was weird this year.” My first thought was: This is how they make their moves on the ladies. Let me dim the lights by throwing my jersey over […]
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 don’t want to be accused of not being an equal opportunity zennist. And I know there are a few of our friends here that also love Mikey. Since this is his first rodeo at the All Star Game AND he’s an alternate Captain, here’s YOUR moment of MIKEY Zen:
Mike talked about his All-Star Game alternate captaincy before the Caps went out and spanked the Leafs [Video]. They play the Rangers today on Versus… damn, I wanted to watch Elk Hunter. The real All Star is Mike’s cowlick though – how do you even get a helmet on over this hair? And because you […]
Introducing Mike Green, All-Star Game alternate captain for Team Staal. I control the universe!! This could not wait for Mikey Monday. From the NHL.com article, I just loved this part: Green has been the NHL’s most dynamic offensive defenseman the previous two seasons, but he has also steadily improved his work at the defensive end. […]
So I got left alone in the WUYS offices today while Pants and Chuck run amuck on the East Coast! I got left with cold coffee, stale do-nots and a post-it note from Pants saying “MM please”. I am assuming that means I’m left with Mikey Monday. God knows he didn’t do anything last night in […]
Pretty much every team has posted their All-Stars’ reactions to being selected, so there are a ton of videos. But I like this one best – it’s Team Dawn and Team Pants. I think these two are the only Capitals NOT in a bromance, despite the enthusiasm of their on-ice hugging. [Video] PS: I still […]
Dawn’s talking about the Pens, I’m talking about the Caps – it’s like Freaky Friday in here. (Okay, maybe not.) There are days when you’re the guy, and days when you aren’t. Mike Green was definitely the guy in the Caps’ Saturday night win over Florida. First, he made this pass to Eric Fehr from […]
