We Feel Pretty

On Sunday, the Penguins were down 3-0 to the Senators in the 3rd period.  But the power of the mustache prevailed – Crosby got a goal with 3+ minutes left to keep the streak (and the stache) alive. I have to say Sid must drink a lot of milk because his skin is amazing. [Today’s […]

24/7 Episode 2: "Adorkable"

My girl Kimmy has coined the perfect phrase to describe Mike Green, Sid and half the rest of the Pens and Caps on HBO’s 24/7 Episode 2: ADORKABLE. It’s absolute perfection. If I had the setup, I would have stayed up ALL night screencapping   Until then, here are the highlights that I can remember screaming […]

Merry Christmas to Me!

Santa has come early!  Do you think this store sells trampolines? Because I would like to… [censored]. French fries, French toast… *faints* OMG SID IS WEARING A VEST. Unexplainable squees. Posted because Sid *just* extended his streak to 22 games.

HBO 24/7… We Wish

The only way to properly sum up the awesomeness of Penguins/Capitals: Road to the Winter Classic is to treat you to the real-time Twitter conversation between me and Dawn last night.  Please note, I had to rewatch the entire show because I was giggling so much the first time. The Penguins watched the show as […]

Buy Me Something Nice

I just sit here and laugh all day.  Everyone thinks I’m crazy but they can’t see this.  It’s from the Penguins Online Store, where you can buy my Christmas present.  The title of this series is Awkward Turtle.  Sid looks stiff as a board and really, Geno?  They had to photograph him in various stages […]

Best $10 I Ever Spent

It is time!!  Better than Christmas morning.  Call up your cable provider (I just did) and add HBO for $10/month so you can watch Penguins/Capitals Road to the Winter Classic on 24/7, starting tonight.  Yesterday, HBO promised us so much vulgarity that you should “hide your kids.”  If I had kids, they’d say, “F&$% that, […]

Showcase Showdown

Sid, Ovi and Jeremy Roenick will make a guest appearance on The Price is Right on Monday, December 20.  I saw this as a Tweet last night and thought I must be hallucinating.  Apparently not. The trio will introduce an NHL-themed showcase that includes a trip to Pittsburgh for the highly anticipated 2011 Bridgestone NHL […]

Weekend Warriors

My power to influence the universe continues to impress – I pick Ryane Clowe for Foxy Friday and what happens? He scores 2 goals vs. the Blackhawks on Saturday night and singlehandedly wins the game!  He’s named NHL  First Star of the Week!  I should start gambling. Alas, I am mad at Ryane because he […]

I'll Never Stop.

My brain is like the All-Crosby Channel. Check out this video of Sid practicing his hand-eye coordination and stick handling.  Reebok, you bring us all the best b-roll. You might think “wow” or “impressive” or even “oo-er.”  I’m thinking, “Why can’t he do this while wearing a tank top?  Come on!” You may have seen […]

Edge of Seventeen

The Penguins winning streak is at 11 games (14 unbeaten counting 1 shootout loss) and Sidney has 200 goals in 3 games.  Or something like that.  All signs point to awesome… except for this. All these guys are pranksters, right?  Love a good practical joke?  Well this is one.  How many gross superstitions can I […]

Winter Classic TV Spot

The NHL debuted the first Winter Classic ’11 commercial during Sunday Night Football [Video].  To quote the greatest movie of all time: “I know you can be overwhelmed, and I know you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?”  “I think you can in Europe.” – 10 Things I Hate About You […]

Winter Classic HBO Preview

Pack your mittens and get excited – HBO ran a 12 minute preview for 24/7 Road to the Winter Classic. It’s Pants vs. Dawn in the freezing cold at an hour when no one should be awake on January 1.  As MAX TALBOT says, “Bring it on.”  (I think Max would be flattered to see […]

What Hurts the Most

… is being sooooooooo cloooooooooooose… ugh, I hate the guy from Rascall Flatts’ voice but there is no other way to describe Pittsburgh’s loss to the Rangers last night.  Unless you’re Mr. Pants and (just to be an ass) you’re suddenly a Rangers fan who wants a vintage jersey.  Shut up or you’re paying for […]

The Kid Kicks Your Ass

Sidney Crosby had a fight last night.  Sidney Crosby won a fight last night. I am still recovering from the heart palpitations. The game between Pittsburgh and Dallas got out of reach pretty quickly, with the Stars up 4-1 in the 2nd.  Things took a turn for the ugly when Brendan Morrow picked a fight […]

Winter Classic Wake-Up Call

The Penguins unveiled their Winter Classic jerseys today.  If you live out West, the game is on at 10 AM.  That’s technically still New Year’s Eve in my book, but frankly what a way to ring it in!  Crosby, Staal, Letang, Talbot, Flower (hopefully) and throw in some Mike Green… I can wake up for […]

Newsies: Ring My Bell

Update: Vancouver Canucks’ Rick Rypien has been suspended 6 games for his attack on a fan in Minnesota. Please watch this video of George Parros fighting with Jody Shelley.  Yes they fight all the time, mustache vs. girls’ name, but listen to the background noise at 0:12 – is that the sound of a boxing […]

Five for Frustrating

Listen, bitch. My email is TeamTanger so I’m all over you if you give Kris a hard time.  Like a 5 minute major and automatic game misconduct for a totally clean, shoulder-to-shoulder, yard sale hit on Blake Comeau that prevented a dangerous scoring opportunity Friday night. Thank God the Pens hung on and won this […]

Hump Day Hopeful

Before giving me the password to anything, you should have considered that inside my brain, it usually looks like this:     I get *really* excited *really* easily.  So last night while Chilean miners were being pulled from the center of the Earth, I was screaming at the Avs/Wings shootout.  Not because I don’t care, […]

Birthday Party, You're Invited

We interrupt your regularly scheduled episode of Mike Greek Paid for This for a special occasion – Happy Birthday to Everyone!  Okay, not everyone – Happy Birthday Pants (today) and Mike Green (tomorrow). For my birthday, Mike decided to roll up his sleeves and fight Ilya Kovalchuk on Saturday night.  It wasn’t a great fight […]

We're Calling It

It’s our favorite time of year –  time for wild predictions that will make you a chump in April.  We have consulted the shine of Barry Melrose’s hair and cast leaves in a bowl of Jeremy Roenick’s tears.  And now WUYS brings you… Conference and Stanley Cup Champ predictions, 2010-2011 Chocolate Iced predicts: Eastern Conf.
