Pants did hers…so now it is my turn…. My recap of WUYS’ Best.Weekend.Ever (except that time we went to see Hanson. That was EPIC.) Saturday: Penguins Open Practice at Southpointe Iceoplex Kris Letang really liked our side of the ice. Really. I must have taken like 150 photos of him, but I couldn’t help myself. […]
Once Chuck and I went on a road trip that involved five or six Hanson concerts. Then there was the time we skipped broomball for a Westlife road trip that resulted in us being fined a dozen Dunkin’ Donuts. And the time we saw *N Sync. Well, boy bands are so 2001. Pants & Chuck […]
Looks like Matt Cooke definitely WON’T be getting the Lady Byng Trophy this year… Cooke has been suspended for the remainder of the regular season and for the 1st round of the playoffs for elbowing NYR defenseman Ryan McDonagh in the head in yesterday’s game. Not only does he let down his team, he’ll also […]
Ovi to ‘rest’ so he is sitting out against Philly? wha…? He’s had an ‘ailment’ for the last couple of months and they figure now is a good time for him to heal and be ready for the play offs? OK. SRSLY? Every one who reads this blog knows I love Ovi. And I wouldn’t […]
Can I get a moment of appreciation for Jordan Staal? I think we need one. He has really stepped up his game in the absence of 98% of the Penguins squad and well, he’s Gronk. Bad luck (lacerated foot, infection, broken hand) kept Jordan out until the Winter Classic. He managed to steal plenty of […]
Sidney Crosby skated today. Did you hear that? CROSBY SKATED! (You should see me dancing.) To celebrate, NHL.com made two entries into the Most Underwhelming Content of All Time contest. First, the video of Crosby skating [video]: And this headline graphic. Somehow I don’t think this covers it: This return to the ice may have […]
This is for all you Penguins fans. And I won’t make any snarky remarks about Sidney or MAX TALBOT. They are thanking their fans for their 200th sell out, which is awesome. Congrats. But where is Letang? For a player who was a popular write-in for the all-star game, it isn’t a stretch to ask. […]
Evidently Travis Zajac has been watching the same Youtube videos we have where Kris get’s undressed by Deryk Engelland, his team-mate during a play fight. But this time, Letang not properly tieing down his jersey during an actual game dearly cost the Penguins. Zajac pops Letang in the face and they start grappling and realizes that Letang’s jersey isn’t strapped down and pulls it off him […]
I think not! Hot Mop and more. Plus I found this nugget of Malkin and since I will grudgingly admit I like him too, here ya go. But this still doesn’t make me a Penguin’s fan for the record. Just so you know. I bleed red, white and blue – CAPS! Ovi forever. Except ok, Letang really […]
Oh boy. Alex Kovalev is back with the Penguins. Ray “I get s*** done” Shero acquired him from Ottawa for a conditional draft pick [link]. On top of James Neal and Matt Niskanen, Shero is running down the dream here. Today is Kovalev’s 38th birthday so I hope he wished for a playoff race. Kovalev […]
If one more sportscaster talks about Crosby and Malkin being out like they just decoded the news with their Enigma machine, I’m going to throw a shoe at my TV. WE KNOW. What you should be talking about is how freaking clutch some of our guys are coming up these days. Guys like Tyler Kennedy. […]
The long weekend is over, it’s back to work and you know what I feel like? Chuck loves it too: I tried to watch the Heritage Classic, but I couldn’t focus my eyes on the bizarre non-color of the Flames shorts. Is that taupe? Nude, maybe? If you’re going to commit to sweaters and socks […]
The good news? The Washington Caps beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 1-0 tonight. My masterblaster, the Russian Machine punched another one passed Fleury for the only goal of the night making his stat against the Flower 20 points in 19 games. OUCH-A-RONY! But Ovi can only carry this team for so long. At some point, Atlas will shrug. The […]
Words used to describe this week’s Foxy Friday honoree… Humorous. Talented. Effervescent. Cereal Magnate. Marc Andre Fleury Yes, Marc-Andre. You are zee best. While you may not be the best goalie (statistically) in the NHL and your team is sinking faster than the Titanic, you are definitely zee best when it come to having fun! […]
ESPN.com recently posted its NHL Power Rankings for Week 20. Some teams shot up the rankings like the Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings , and Columbus Blue Jackets. While some faltered like the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins. (Pants and Dawn are extremely sad pandas. Like really really sad.) As a Bruins fan, I’m glad […]
It’s been a wild week of fights in the NHL and we’ve been loving it. Then something like this comes along. People always argue about fighting in hockey. I’m confident that those who know and love the game understand and respect the role that fighting plays. But it’s like Russian Roulette and sometimes, you get […]
We knew. Everybody knew. And yet today, every hour on the hour I have the urge to throw something across the room. It could have something to do with the POS performance against Columbus last night. Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin will undergo surgery Thursday to repair a torn ACL and torn MCL in his […]
I finally have to talk about Sid and his concussion. I’ve been avoiding it hoping he would turn up at practice one day, bringing unicorns and wrist shots and 22-game scoring streaks. I’d even take back the mustache. As the silence becomes deafening and the Penguins are dropping like flies, it’s time for a post. […]
Evidently Brent Johnson’s back-up back-up job should be golden glove boxing because the ex-beauty contestant Rick DiPietro is now out 4-6 WEEKS with a fractured jaw. Great googley-moogleys! One punch Johnson they call him from now on and I bet you he’ll get a wide birth in the Pen’s locker room. Pssst… Brent. I have […]
Fire up your synthesizer! Here we are, post All-Star break and there are 67 days left in the regular season. Since we’re quite used to telling everyone what to do (and being ignored), here are a few things we’d like to offer for consideration: Penguins: If you stay at #2 in your division and end […]
