Last week, it was glasses. This week, we are continuing with our salute to inanimate foxiness by honoring one of our favorite apps, Instagram. In case you’re not hip to the Instagram, it is an online photo/video-sharing & social networking services that lets users take photos, apply a digital filter, upload them, and share […]
It started with this: from Geno’s Instagram Well no, our obsession with boys in glasses began long ago. Maybe it was when Chuck and I got our own glasses, or when we realized that we a) are nerds and b) like nerds. Glasses may be more cool than Coke bottle these days, but the allure […]
Let’s start our first Mikey Monday in a while by hoping everyone in Mike’s hometown of Calgary is safe and well. We’ve seen a lot of photos this weekend, like the Saddledome underwater, and we’re thinking of you guys. Mike is still in DC, Tweeting about car shows and country concerts (ah, summer). He recently […]
It’s Game 7 time. Heart in mouth, prayer in mind, lucky clothes on body time. Every superstition, every trick, every measure of defiance will be in use tonight like it’s the Battle for Hogwarts all over again. Whether you’re watching Rangers/Caps or Leafs/Bruins, I defy you to make it through the post with your blood […]
Caps/Rangers Game 3 was incredible. The kind of game that makes new hockey fans. The kind of game that nearly kills the rest of us. Is there anything to say or think or even feel that that isn’t breathlessly captured in these photos by clydeorama from Jasper’s Rink? Anything else you want to hug? […]
Don’t tell me the season is almost over. Don’t tell me there are 3 games left, you have a 3 point lead and I have to spend the next week trying not to throw up over whether or not you can hold onto a playoff spot. And don’t tell me this just happens when you […]
We’ve been razzing a lot of “part-time models” around here lately. Maybe I could be a Part Time Reporter? For my real job, I do entertainment PR and was lucky enough to work with Joel Ward and the Caps on a special screening of the new movie 42. Joel wears number 42 in honor of […]
Things I love, in order: 1) Mike Green scoring goals. .gif by nhl-highlights.tumblr.com 2) Mike Green’s hair like this. Watch it: Post-Game 4/11 video 3) Mike Green taking himself SO SERIOUSLY. Read it: Russian Machine Never Breaks Of course it’s stupid to say your bad long hair affected your play, Mike! It’s also dumb to say […]
There was a moment in last night’s Caps’ game when Mike Green scored and I yelled, “I love you, you crazy looking hipster!” Now I see this and it’s all OneRepublic in here, “Is it too late to apologiiiiiiiiiize?” Deb (@DLF1021), what would I do without you sending me things? Mike is featured in this […]
This weekend, the artist formerly known as GAME OVER changed his name to GAME TIED. And that’s okay with us. How I looked Saturday night, only with a scream of joy. On Saturday, after hitting the post earlier in the game, Mike banked one in behind Jhonas Enroth to tie the game with 42 seconds […]
Last night, Mike and the Caps really wanted you to tag your Tweets. I don’t think “I miss hedgehog, fidgety, Jersey Shore-style Mike Green but at least this guy has a manicure. *P #CapsNYR” is what they were after. They could have gone with #CutYourHair or #DontYouMissWhenIWasHot or… I’ll stop. Mike did have a goal […]
I have used every Mike Green photo on Google/Tumblr and I’m feeling really pouty. So I went to Bing to hunt for a new photo so I could post something – anything! – here for Mikey Monday, like a candle kept burning in the window of a house waiting for someone to come home. See? […]
Mike’s hurt again. Or he was never really better. He missed three games in late February after aggravating last season’s groin injury, then came back for two matches. All was not well – he did not practice Friday or make the weekend trip to Winnipeg for the Caps’ 3-0 win on Saturday. Perhaps afraid this look would […]
During last night’s Capitals vs. Penguins game, the role of the Caps was played by Honey Boo Boo: Or maybe she was playing me, and those pumpkins are my fumbled, oddly-shaped emotions. The Capitals can juggle two things. Or two periods of hockey. It’s the third thing, usually the middle period, that falls apart and […]
Penguins vs. Capitals should be a rough day for me, what with my love of both teams. Yet it never is. Of course Mike Green had a goal ysterday – a lovely, wide open one-timer past former Caps goalie Tomas Vokoun to tie the game against my Penguins. Just flexing his muscles when my eye […]
The bad news is the Caps lost their season opener vs. Tampa Bay. The worse news is they lost 6-3 and got dominated by some old(er) guys (Brewer, Lecavalier, St. Louis) and a kid fresh off the AHL bus (Conacher). But the worst news is this: Mike Green used to style his hair with a […]
If there’s one thing I like more than hockey, it’s food. Last night the Capitals Fan Appreciation Night had free hockey AND free food. So of course we were in the front row. Rockin’ the Red with Rae and Pam For this… BAM! No beard. Hallelujah and also merci. I’ll give you the hair, Greener, […]
Do you ever get the feeling Mike Green doesn’t want us to like him? 1.12 Post-practice video Only kidding. He shaved his neck beard to show he cares. (Clearly he read our Puck Daddy playoff beard coverage.) It wouldn’t work anyway. If we liked this Mike Green: And this Mike Green: Then Cat Stevens here […]
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 […]
In an alternate universe, today is Monday, December 17. The Panthers are playing the Capitals tonight. I’ll be there, meeting Rae and Josie in our usual seats before the pre-game skate with a beer and chicken tenders. It’s a great game: Mike has a hat trick, Nicky has four points, iCarly is under the hood […]
