Claude Giroux needed to count to ten (in French) before throwing this hit in last night’s loss to New Jersey: What do you think – Shanabanned? I would not be surprised. Zubris has long since passed the puck and G seems to wait until after the shoulder hit is available, then go straight for his […]
Lindsay tried to warn Chuck about this last night – I’m surprised Chuck didn’t lock me out of here today! It’s not that serious, but I’ve got a recurring problem: every time I hear the Rascal Flatts song “Banjo,” I get really excited and start rocking out in my car. It’s a good 30 seconds […]
At Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon in Austin, TX, every Sunday night they play Chicken Sh*t Bingo. It’s exactly what it sounds like – feed a chicken, turn it loose on a tabletop bingo board and wherever it takes a crap, that number goes on the board. I’m pretty sure this is also how the NHL […]
I don’t hate fighting as much as some other people. What I dislike is hypocrisy. Philly has never made any apologies for who they are. What shocked me was Matt Cooke managed to stayed out of the fray. Pittsburgh needs to decide quickly if they are going to play as a team to stay in […]
I thought an all-consuming work event on the first night of the NHL Playoffs was a terrible thing. Instead it saved me from having to watch the Penguins blow a 3-goal lead and lose in OT to the Flyers. Even my phone and Blackberry died when it was 3-0 – I should have seen the […]
So when this campaign started the feedback was terrible so they adjusted it STAT because it was like the MasterCard ad, the Hockey Discover Card and “I Just Want My Pants Back” had a drunken three way, someone got pregnant and no one wanted to take responsibility for the monster that came of it. Hockey fans will […]
If you weren’t watching the Penguins/Flyers game yesterday afternoon, you probably wondered what that noise was. It was the rest of us screaming. I could (and will) watch this all day. The amount of awesome cannot be expressed. Even Pierre is speechless. I wish they’d kept his mic live so we could hear Laviolette screaming. […]
Deb asked us this: And while the answer is technically no (do-overs don’t count, all girls agree), I think it’s okay if Claude Giroux intrudes on someone else’s day of the week. Who’s with me? (Admit it, the dark side has more power!) Now quick, before Chuck changes the password and I lose posting privileges… […]
Lindsay once told me that if she were stranded on an icy mountain and her options were to cuddle with Claude Giroux or die, she would cuddle. But only after searching the wreckage for a paper bag to put over his head. In her defense, I never thought I would disagree. Chuck must secretly wonder […]
It was a banner weekend ladies as many of our men made history and milestones: chillin in the dome with Jerome: Iggy got his 500th goal. Teemu got his 651st goal by the end of the night. Little Danny Briere put on his big boy pants and got in his third ever fight and had […]
(Sorry, I tried not to make a Fresh Prince reference. My hands would not obey.) The last time the Blackhawks played in Philly… And they’ve been gearing up for their return: Toews also had a smile on his face when asked about going back to Philly for the first time. Turns out he purchased replays […]
And I’m not talking about the Universe…. I’m talking about the Philadelphia Flyers and goaltending. For years now, the Flyers organization have had issues finding just the right goalie to lead them to the Stanley Cup. They came close in 2010 behind the tandem of Brian “Bobby” Boucher and Michael Leighton, but it just wasn’t […]
Tonight’s the night, and it’s not Santa coming to town. Jaromir Jagr will bring his orange sweater to Pittsburgh for the first time. Jagr played 11 seasons with the Penguins before being traded to the Capitals, then the Rangers. After the ’08 season, he returned to the Czech Republic and played three years in their […]
Someone we know once posted this to Facebook: Safe to say that hashtag also applies to: Biebs skated with the Leafs [link] in a track suit because they didn’t have any Youth Medium hockey gear laying around. Look at his pants – I bet they’re rolled at the waist too. Phaneuf is all, “You said Disney princesses! […]
Tonight is the premiere of HBO’s 24/7 Flyers/Rangers: Road to the NHL Winter Classic. And since I’ve re-watched Game of Thrones into oblivion, I will be tuning in to get my $10 worth for December. The WUYS crowd won’t be as excited as last season – including me, since I actively hate both of these […]
Jaromir Jagr is 39 years old. Someone making a late-career comeback always worries me, mostly because I like to see great players go out with style. So when I first heard Jagr was coming back, I cringed. I didn’t really care that he went to the Flyers – he’s already gone to the Caps and […]
… the WHAT? First Patrick Kane, now Mike Richards? In case you missed it, the Rapture has been rescheduled for today. It was more convenient for everyone. So we figured we might as well start confessing our deepest secrets, like Mike Richards is pretty foxy. Just not (never never ever) as a Flyer. Richards was […]
I’m just going to get this out of the way now. We miss you, MAX TALBOT and wish you lots of happiness, pool boy commercials and mustaches. (Well, Dawn doesn’t.) But starting in 7 days, we’re going to have to kick your ass. On the bright side, it seems Max is being embraced by the […]
Power at my house could be out till Friday. If I had anything this orange I wouldn’t need lights. This is hard, and it hurts. It also looks like the place Harry Potter wakes up half-dead next to fetal horcrux Voldemort. You can stay there Max, but you can choose to leave. This doesn’t have to […]
Max Talbot signs with the Flyers, 5 years at 1.8 million/year. JUST KILL ME. Max got a raise ($1.05 mill with Pens). And I know that when the shock wears off I will still love him but… do you have to aim right for my heart? Do you have to stand so close and shoot […]
