Once upon a time there was an All-Star Weekend that reminded me how much I love hockey. Well, that happens every year. But this weekend, like so much of this season, I didn’t actually get to watch anything. GAH! What follows is the best I was able to mash up from Twitter and my imagination… […]
Welcome to guest blogger, Elodie (@hockeyfied), who will be recapping EPIX’s Road to the NHL Winter Classic for us! We are very happy to have her. She’ll help you relive the show’s highlights and get ready for every Wednesday night. Reminder: If you missed Episode One (because you were watching Episode VII of something else!), you […]
Forgive me for having been away, as now I am talking about all the old things. I’m like your drunk aunt at Thanksgiving who starts telling a story someone else just finished telling. Trust me, you won’t mind hearing this one twice. Sharp Magazine wants men in Canada to have nice clothes and a classy lifestyle – […]
I wrote 90% of this before the the All-Star Game started last night, and changed very little afterward. My opinion was the same: Best ASG weekend ever. Sure the setup is wonky, the events kind of hokey. Who cares? It’s supposed to be fun, and dammit, it was really fun! Thanks to the players […]
We really miss hockey, but it’s safe to say this off-season is going down in history. Best ever? Well, it’s not the worst and I’m not waiting for Friday. The Ice Bucket Challenge began in July in support of ALS research. Read more about it here and hire Frates & Quinn for more marketing campaigns. The movement […]
Two posts in two days? This place is like Santa’s Workshop! Last night was the annual NHL Awards, or as we like to call it: the NHL A(wk)wards. Normally an unfunny, bumblingly-hosted, C-list celebfest, last night’s show was most of those things again. But better, no? I confess to liberal use of the mute button, […]
I hope you made a New Year’s resolution to watch more hockey, if that’s possible. Not in my house. While the US announced their Olympic roster after the Winter Classic, Canada found another way to fill their hockey quota. Video: CBC – Defending Gold: Inside the Making of Canada’s Team It’s thirty minutes inside the minds […]
From ugly sweater photos and awkward, Russian-accented renditions of “Jingle Bells”, lots of NHL teams are getting into the holiday spirit. Now comes the Bruins’ turn – and it’s a Christmas gem. The Bear in the Gang – A Christmas Spectacular In this Bear and the Gang Christmas Spectacular, the team is all gathered in […]
I cannot go away for one second! It’s like Toy Story in here – I go outside and everything suddenly comes to life. Where to begin? #TeamEbs took over the NHL Instagram account and used the opportunity to make fun of Molly Ringwald. Our favorite boy band also introduced an act at the Canadian Country […]
#CAMP may be over, but camps are just beginning. Invitees for Team Canada’s Olympic camp were arriving in Calgary all weekend, as documented by this airport employee: Source: Twitter There is a space for volunteers. AND IT IS BLANK. Alas, the enterprise of TSN is not to be underestimated. They were live on the scene […]
Happy 28th Birthday to the one…the only…the Boston legend himself, Patrice Bergeron. Even if you don’t like the Bruins , you love Patrice. Even Pants loves Patrice. I mean, just look at him. The way he plays. The way he carries himself. His face. There is a reason I call him ‘Perfect Patrice’.
So ends the 2013 season. One lockout. Zero Winter Classics, 24/7 episodes, All-Star Games or NHL Awards ceremonies. One Stanley Cup. credit: sportsmockery I’m sure Chuck will do a post about the Bruins when she’s ready. For now we send her and our other Bruins fan friends love. We’ve all had teams lose before, but […]
Patrice Bergeron certainly has a flair for the dramatic, doesn’t he? First, his game tying and then game winning OT goal verses Toronto in Round 1 and now this. While credit goes to Bergeron for scoring the goal, mad props go to Jaromir Jagr for making it all possible. His play on Evgeni Malkin […]
If last night’s Bruins/Rangers game was a movie, it would be called “There Will Be Blood”. Lumber was a-flying and the team trainers were going through cotton gauze like Taylor Swift goes through boyfriends. Patrice Bergeron, Zdeno Chara, and Carl Hagelin were just some of the players that needed zippers to close up gashes. Tyler […]
Last night, Bruins beat the Jets in a shoot-out. Awesome. Top line of Tyler Seguin, Patrice Bergeron, and Brad Marchand looks great, especially the Squirrel, who was all over the ice, collecting up all those acorns. That’s cool. Tuukka Rask played well and looked sharp in the shoot out. Word. But, people, not all was […]
While the NHL Awards are far from and probably never will be perfect, there are a few things that they get right. Take last night for instance. Last night, Patrice Bergeron FINALLY won the Frank J. Selke Trophy. All is right in the hockey universe. If you read this blog, or follow our twitter, or […]
Did everyone enjoy the Nickelback Convention last night? The Awkard Turtle Unfunny Comedy Tour? There were a few bright spots, like Will Arnett. Especially when he shanabanned Ovi for blocking Brooks Laich’s parking spot and sentencing him to ride on the back of Mike Green’s scooter. WHY CAN’T THIS BE REAL LIFE? While peering between […]
Tonight’s the night. NHL Awards in Las Vegas! Bring on the attractive hockey players in impeccably fitted suits. Bring on the awkward (and hilarious) red carpet interviews. Bring on the D-list celebrities who can’t pronounce the winner’s name (Martin St. Lewis!). Here’s who we think is going to bring on the hardware… Hart (Lundqvist/Malkin/Stamkos) Should: Chuck […]
Do yourself a favor. Click on the image below. Watch the video. Totes brilliant, right? LOVE IT!! Screen capping GOLD!
MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Help! The Bruins are teetering precariously on the edge of the abyss…and they are threathening to take me with them. Saturday, they lost to the Capitals. Yesterday, they got violated by the Penguins. Patrice Bergeron and Adam McQuaid both got injured. With Nathan Horton, Rich Peverley, Beniot Pouliot, and Tuukka Rask already out, […]
