We know it’s not possible to be great at everything, and there are certainly times when you don’t want to show off. Like Crosby rolling a gutter ball at the annual Pens & Pins charity event – that’s socially appropriate struggling. He’s being a good sport. Then watch James Neal have a go at the […]
(Note: Lethan Weapon is one of the best bromance movies of all time. Bust out the VHS and watch it.) If you can’t hold a puppy or a baby, the next best prop for maximum cuteness is Evgeni Malkin. I swear, if I baked a cake and that cake took a shelter dog for a walk […]
Someone in the Penguins PR department is developing our sense of humor. While the San Jose Sharks still win for the best ever fake Christmas CD [video], followed by the Blackhawks and Toews’ HOF derp-face [video], this year’s holiday effort by the Penguins is pretty hilarious. Video: Pittsburgh Penguins 2013 Holiday Card Made during Movember, […]
I’m mad at you! I am still so mad at you for what you did that I don’t even want to see your… GLASSES????? Holy moly. There’s only one explanation for this. James Neal reads this blog. I’m not kidding when I say I’m still mad. James Neal and I need to have a long […]
Did Saturday’s Bruins/Pens debacle really happen? I kept hoping to wake up and find that it was all just a horrible dream. But alas, it was not. That mess really did happen. I’m disgusted in both teams because they are better than that. They have really made me mad. Like flames on the side of […]
I suppose we need to talk about this. I really don’t want to. I hate the Bruins. Chuck hates the Penguins. And while there’s plenty to shout about the opposition in last night’s debacle, it left more than enough responsibility for our own teams. Two incidents, two aggressors, two outcomes. I’ll leave it to Chuck […]
Before you look at these photos, go to the Animal Rescue League website and order a Penguins & Paws 2014 Calendar. Support adorable, fuzzy faces of the four-legged variety! Huge thanks to @alisonsykora‘s mom Heidi, who took pictures of every page with her phone for us. She likes James Neal the best because she’s a […]
Last night was Bruins vs. Penguins so you knew that both of us were going to have to weigh in. The two best teams in the East faced off last night and the over arching theme was resiliency. After the Penguins tied it up with 0.3 seconds left to send it to OT, some teams […]
If you’ve been reading us for a while, you know there are moments where I seem to control the universe. The Penguins being down 2-0 is not one of them. Certainly not to the Bruins. Out of love for Chuck, I generally keep my Bruins opinions to myself and I’m sure she swallows some bitter […]
We have referred to ourselves as JamesNeal.com in the past, and I think we’ve done a pretty good job cheerleading our favorite gingerbeard. Now there is actually a JamesNeal18.com and honestly, it rhymes. The whole glorious homepage is a Real Deal rhyme scheme. I cannot compete with that. What James’ new official site does not […]
Last Friday, I struggled to choose a Foxy Friday who was healthy and playing. One man heard my plea, and so returned to the lineup that very night. A real American hero. Foxy Friday: Paul Martin Paul missed two games to injury, getting back in the lineup on 11/15 with an assist in the Pens […]
Let’s talk about something happy. Something that isn’t what happened to Stamkos. Something that doesn’t spur a combination of dry heaves, caterwauling and crushing bags of ketchup chips with a sledgehammer. Penguins, to the rescue. Yesterday was the annual Project Bundle Up, where the Pens take kids shopping for warm winter clothes. What could be […]
Puppies? BAH. That’s not enough. James Neal noticed that some of you had regained consciousness after the pet calendar shoot yesterday, so he went to the Boys & Girls Club. Video: James Neal Boys & Girls Club Visit If you can’t play, this is a really great way to show off your hair and hoodie. […]
It’s been suggested the entire Penguins PR staff is made up of 20-something girls with excellent internet understanding. Based on today’s evidence, this court concurs. Penguins and Pets Calendar Shoot Puppies! And cuddling! And days of the week! Wait, I got carried away. Is this calendar delivered with an ice cream cake covered in sprinkles? […]
It’s Penguins opening night!! Also, there’s something seriously wrong with me. Not five seconds into this video and I have the gasping laughtears. I keep pausing it to cackle. Cabbie Presents on TSN: with Sidney Crosby (Skip to 39 min mark) Sid just got an iPhone. Before that he had a flip phone. I bet he’s […]
Thanks to everyone who sent this to me while I was at the county fair last night. My reaction noise definitely startled some livestock. James Neal appears to have extended his tattoo to a full sleeve. All together now… “UGH.” Okay, that was just me. And what I really said was, “CoughMikeGreencough.” I don’t hate it […]
I wish you guys could have been in my living room while I was watching this. It’s only pre-season and Mr. Pants’ attempts to get attention over hockey have reached new heights. He immediately started blasting music and dancing. When that didn’t work, he went into the kitchen and started doing the dishes. Desperation […]
Suddenly this morning, I am considering a new career. In videography. What, you thought I meant physical therapy? The idea being to fix something so your patient never needs to return? Oh no. Videography is much easier. I’ll just light and zoom and let James and his tattoos do all the work for me. […]
Happy 26th birthday, Nealmobile! When you came to the Penguins, we hardly knew you. Since then, well, we hope you like this website dedicated mostly to your existence. Think of it as a place to remember that getting older is a) inevitable and b) really working for you. To celebrate, we share with everyone: […]
#Camp Video, Day 2. All you need to know is… Damn it, Dallas. Only kidding! Thankyouverymuch, Stars. Also HI JOEL WARD!!! And Hal Gill never ages. Is BioSteel really embalming fluid? Because the man doesn’t look a day over 28 (he’s 38). Okay, have at it. Nealer was interviewed on TSN last night […]
