Your Friday Moment of Zen
And because I’m not a complete crabapple: Pants’ new license Plate – AKA – the Shaggin’ Wagon! BANG BANG LETANG – let’s hope he get’s better soon because he’s getting Mike Green-syndrome.
Camera One: Crosby
Sidney Crosby gave a long, patient interview to Pierre Maguire last night on NBC Sports Network. Video: Part 1 [link] and Part 2 [link]. The real question: How long is Sid’s folding chair going to last? It’s easier to see in the video, but picture The Beast joining Belle for dinner that first night, trying […]
NHL36: James Neal
Go to the mirror right now. Look at yourself and say, “Plaid suit” three times. James Neal and Claude Giroux will be fighting to climb out. (If you’re too young to know Candyman or Beetlejuice, ignore that.) When someone’s watching, you always think, “I’m definitely going to mess up.” Like a cute guy smiles and […]
One Day
Geno: You said 7:30. James: I said 6:30. Geno: My English is not so good. James: … We all know when the Nealmobile episode of NHL 36 premieres: TOMORROW.
Crosby Cleared for Contact!
Does it count as contact that I got so excited I flailed right out of my chair? Okay, calm down. There’s no timetable for Sid’s return to the Penguins lineup. And we may have seen that return once already, only to have it cruelly snatched from our dreams. But, butbutbut, you have to start somewhere. […]
Two Days
TWO DAYS, people! James is ready. Are you?
Five Days
Coming to your TV, more of this face. Less of this mustache.
Six Days
James Neal had a shootout goal last night against his former team. That’s got to feel pretty good. Especially since he hasn’t scored in 5 games and is a little stuck at the 30 goal mark. (Hahaha, stuck. At a career-high 30 goals.) Remember when he scored a shootout goal vs. Florida last March and […]
ALL the Bubble Wrap!
Kris Letang took a hit to the head last night and left the Pens game in the first with an “upper body injury.” Immediately, commentators began fighting. Some say Letang put himself in a vulnerable position. Others are calling for Eric Nystrom’s suspension. EJ Hradek of NHL Network says: ESPN’s (former Foxy Friday) John Buccigross […]
Nine Days
On a scale of one to this picture, how excited are you?
Saturday SWAG
Good thing I can see the TV from where I have collapsed to the floor. (Love to @jfrancesw, as always.)
$30 mill, 6 years = NHL36
I was in the middle of doing something, I swear. Then this Tweet appeared: Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Flatline. NHL 36: James Neal will air Wednesday, March 7, at 6:30 p.m., Eastern, on NBC Sports Network. Later that evening, NBC Sports Network will air the Penguins’ home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs at 7:30 p.m. ET. [link] Potential […]
30 is the new…
If I have to be up early on a Sunday, let there be good news every time. James Neal scored his 30th goal of the season yesterday in Pittsburgh’s win over Philly. This morning, the Penguins announced they’ve signed Neal to a six-year contract extension [link]. Six more years?! Excuse me while I… The deal […]
Five Things: Love Today
In honor of making it halfway through this week, here are five things that I love about today. 1. James Neal’s career-high 28th goal, and there are still 28 games left to play. (Bonus: Awkwardly close-up post-game interview video.) 2. Steven Stamkos has scored against every NHL team [video]. And he got a League-leading 35th […]
I see you lookin'.
You want it, you got it. Tanger winking at Flower during the love-fest in Toronto. Thanks to xosweetgirl18ox.tumblr.com who created this and Barb (@stoopid4letang) who’s on our Twitter feed and shared! Now if someone comes across the windmill high-five….
It's Alright, It's Okay.
Sid and the Pens held a press conference yesterday to prove that he still looks this good in a suit. Also to clarify the neck injury he was diagnosed with by an LA doctor – it’s a “soft tissue” injury, not broken vertebrae. He was treated in LA with injections to relieve the swelling and […]
Workout with Crosby
I really am doing an ASG Weekend recap post, but I missed a lot of the festivities. It’s coming tonight, before everyone goes back to regular hockey work tomorrow. For now, it appears Lindsay is not holding a grudge over the Claude Giroux Foxy Friday. Or perhaps she is trying to cleanse us of all […]
James Neal for MVP
What was that??? HOW? Because he’s magical and sparkly. Also, his foot was broken about 20 years ago. That healed fracture showed on his x-rays following the injury, but a further MRI showed it wasn’t a current break [link]. So Nealmobile’s got a bruise that probably hurts like the devil, but he’s tough. And he […]
Harder to Breathe
I’d like to float the idea that we may have misunderstood the rapture. It wasn’t coming for us, it was coming for hockey. And it’s pretty much called up everyone from the Pittsburgh Penguins (I knew they were the best.) James Neal out “weeks” with a broken foot. Jordan Staal out 4-6 weeks with a knee […]
Foxy Friday: Joe Vitale
Didn’t I *just* say this shouldn’t be all Pens and whatnot? Well sometimes Foxy Friday writes itself. 26-year old Joe Vitale is from the Lou, and we assume he’s proud. (That’s St. Louis for anyone who didn’t have kitchen dance parties with me and Chuck in 1999.) He went to Northeastern University (hi Boston!) where he […]
