The NHL 2011-12 schedules have been released. Lives have been rearranged. And the most epic birthday party of all time has been planned: MINE. It’s one day early (two days if you’re Mike Green), but I will be celebrating my birthday by holding Gator’s beer as she climbs to glass to get to Steven. [Complete […]
I know Chuck is having a moment with the Bruins right now, and I’m thrilled for her. Because two years ago today, there was this: It was a Friday. I sent my office home early, gingerly arranged the bunny ears on the conference room TV and proceeded to spend three hours alone and freaking out. […]
Sidney Crosby met with Dr. Michael Collins, the specialist who’s been monitoring his condition since he sustained a concussion in January, on Tuesday and is starting his summer program of off-ice workouts. Penguins General Manager Ray Shero said Crosby will be joined by his longtime personal trainer for the next 2-3 weeks as he works […]
This is all I have today. But what else do you need?
I woke up this morning to find that yesterday did indeed happen. The worst 24 hours of my sports life have left me pretty devastated, but my coworker and fellow hockey fan Gator left this on my desk: Fortified on sugar and sympathy, I feel strong enough to write something. It’s been quite a year […]
If there is one. Last year, Kris Letang took the opportunity to take a long vacation and recharge his batteries. And given the ice time he had this year and the current situation with standing, he deserves one. And what does Kris Letang do on long vacations? He goes to hot, tropical locations. Get where I’m going […]
It’s confirmed that Sidney Crosby will not ride the white zamboni onto the ice tonight for Game 7. I needed to see this in writing before I gave up the hope. That said, the Penguins are going to rock. I am getting really excited to speed home from yet another work event in time for […]
Habs beat the Bruins last night to force a game 7…tonight. Pens face-off against the Lightning in game 7…tonight. Needless to say this is a very stressful day in the WUYS office. Not even a breakfast of warm toasty bagels and whipped cream cheese courtesy of Intern Jeff Skinner could make us feel better. We’re […]
Last night watching the Pens game, I was all… Listen, Stamkos. I wanted you to have some luck. Not spend the whole 3rd period with your helmet off trying to convince us it’s okay if we have to see you for another round. We are impervious to your blond-ness. You didn’t even do anything last […]
Happy Birthday, Kitty! Everyone’s favorite Disney prince turns 24 today. Let’s hope he celebrates with a Game 6 win against the Lightning tomorrow night. (Go Pens!) Kris had a career year in 2010-2011. He was the top vote-getting D for the All-Star Game, and all the votes were write-in! My interns really rocked that one. […]
I choose to ignore today’s Penguins game, which they lost 8-2. Instead, let’s talk about this. If you ofter follow the Pens Report on the team website, you’ve been enjoying the hilarity of Sam Kasan for ages. My favorite thing about him is usually the “inspirational” YouTube music videos in his daily entries. But this […]
You don’t even KNOW how happy this makes me. Nealmobile got a commercial for his double OT game-winner! And the announcers had it spot on as it happened… I’ve got the chills! Time to run around the block. Is it Saturday yet?!
PENS WIN! So they had a two goal lead, let it get away and had to slog into double OT to take a 3-1 lead in the series. A win is a win is a win and last night… James Neal, you stud! Way to make up for a lack of production in a big way. […]
I can’t make an alliterative joke about Tuesday without wanting tacos! The Pens won 3-2 last night on a sweet baby barbecue sauce goal from Tyler Kennedy. [video] If you’ve never watched a Pens game with me, TK gets some of the loudest cheering. He is my Who from Whoville, wha-hoo-na. LePretty had 2 assists […]
This week’s beard update. Here’s where it stands. The Sedin’s are disqualified because they always have one and it’s always groomed. Shea Weber started too early but I’ll include him solely because of its sheer awesomeness but he’s out of the running and same goes for George Parros. And believe it or not, there is actually an attractive […]
I’m not getting too excited over the Game 1 victory in Pittsburgh, because Kenny Rogers says you never count your money while you’re sitting at the table. But there was definitely some screaming last night (aside from cries of anguish over the Blackhawks) because I do get excited over strong starts and shutouts. James […]
Today’s Daily Dose of Letang is brought to you by the DVD release of The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I nerd-love the Narnia movies, but this one was hard to watch. Because Prince Caspian is Kris Letang. And it’s distracting. He even has an accent. It’s the wrong accent, but still. […]
Happy Birthday, Duper! You are a Pens fan favorite for so many reasons. Someone on Twitter has the handle “Dupweeeeeeeeee” which is what I yell when you score! And all the members of your fan club have matching tattoos (including me): You’re an awesome team dad (thanks 24/7 for loving the dads): You’re perfect for […]
I love end of the year fan appreciation stuff like a love I good montage at the Oscars. It was Penguins “Shirts Off Our Backs” night last night. Down Dawn, they were wearing shirts underneath. Kris took his skates off, but still tucked his jersey into the back of his pants. Just to make sure […]
Last night’s hockey was uglier than Chris Pronger in a vintage Ducks sweater, so this morning I need something to pick me up: I don’t have to tell you how happy this makes me. Not just the shooting and the stickhandling, but Sid is skating pretty hard. Please please please… okay, I can’t say it. Just keep […]
