Tonight’s the night, and it’s not Santa coming to town. Jaromir Jagr will bring his orange sweater to Pittsburgh for the first time. Jagr played 11 seasons with the Penguins before being traded to the Capitals, then the Rangers. After the ’08 season, he returned to the Czech Republic and played three years in their […]
Pittsburgh’s Deryk Engelland has been suspended 3 games for his hit on Chicago’s Marcus Kruger from Tuesday night. [link] They ruled the hit illegal, plus Kruger was injured (concussion) on the play. The sentence was mitigated by the fact the Engelland has never been fined or suspended before. It’s probably in poor taste (since when […]
Someone we know once posted this to Facebook: Safe to say that hashtag also applies to: Biebs skated with the Leafs [link] in a track suit because they didn’t have any Youth Medium hockey gear laying around. Look at his pants – I bet they’re rolled at the waist too. Phaneuf is all, “You said Disney princesses! […]
So… last night the Pens’ Deryk Engelland mowed down Chicago’s Marcus Kruger with a questionably high hit. Personally, I’m going with SHANABANNED for this one. Eggo does sort of leave his feet and he’s definitely above shoulder height. Kruger’s head is down, but it goes down and stay down before Eggo lines him up. Engelland […]
So Ovi has a new coach, a new girlfriend so let’s hope that leads to a new attitude! Right? Well if the first game was any indication, I might jump ship – WHAT?! Just kiddding. That sound you just heard was Pants and Chuck simulatenously dropping over. I’m so excited for the battle of the hotties […]
So Max got three games for his ‘Hamlet 2’ to Letang’s face . Fair or not, I equate to getting a traffic ticket in the mail when there’s no posted signs. Letang see-saws saying he thinks the three games is fair – having been -Shanna-hammered in the past – but doesn’t think Max is a dirty player. What […]
So of all the hockey channels I do get, I don’t get the NHL. I KNOW! So when the CBC switched over to the second coming of St. Sid and the Penns at 4:38 against Ottawa, I told Mr. Cherrie to get his half rack out because we have a new drinking game. Every time some one mentions […]
Thanksgiving is full of awkward family moments, like 200 photos from your aunt’s trip to Boca Raton or the excruciating detail of Uncle Harold’s last doctor’s appointment. Hockey players are just like us. From the beginning where Nealmobile is squinting at the cue card to the end when they don’t stop rolling tape for a good five […]
Be honest. Were you expecting anything less? Sidney Crosby had 2 goals and 2 assists in his comeback game last night vs. NYI. He dominated like he hadn’t missed a single game. I can’t pick my favorite part. The dazzling first goal? The obvious “F*%& YEAH!” after (which SportsCenter actually blurred out)? The smile? Or […]
It’s tomorrow. It’s the day. TOMORROW. Holy heck, I’m freaking out. Sidney Crosby will return to the Penguins lineup Monday night vs. NYI. Disco Dan says he should play around 15 minutes. He’ll go on the Dupuis/Kunitz line, leaving the Neal/Sullivan/Geno line intact (for now). To everyone who texted/Tweeted us with the news, while […]
Mike Green didn’t make the trip to Winnipeg with the Caps, but he did take his sprained ankle to the Kid Rock show in DC last night. He wore his only favorite sweater (seriously, he wears this more than Toews wears that suit) and that hat that makes me want to throw snowballs. Money was […]
Sorry, what were you saying? JamesNeal.com couldn’t hear anything over the Penguins scoring four goals in 10:30 last night vs. Colorado. The Pens were down 3-2 when the second period began. Then this happened: Nealmobile was 1st star with 1 G/2 A and infallible facial hair grooming. Can I tell you why? There’s a guy […]
Between this weekend and the Hunger Games trailer [link] I am seriously dying over here. Then Brittany sends us this gem! Remember the Friday post where you were all jealous she got to meet Rick Nash? You don’t even know. Is that scruff? Is that almost a mustache, Crosby? Because we have had this talk […]
JamesNeal.com here, reporting for duty. James has been stuck at 9 goals for a while – Kessel Cartman has 11 and Stamkos has 10. Do you think Steven chirps James about passing him in the stats? What if they did it on Twitter? We would die, that’s what. Nealer has 14 points in 15 games, […]
Forget Foxy Friday … Here comes Sexy Saturday when the two hottest defenseman in the league go mono-e-mono in a rare denfense-fest meeting! It’s hard out there for a Penguin, sister – and this will be happy feet 58 meets Immortal 8– Get your tickets now! Because I’m hoping that one or both lose their jersey. […]
Just surrender. You are no match for the Penguins annual calendar shoot. It’s not like we put up much of a fight, but breaking out the puppies is like dropping a birthday cake through the sunroof of our glittery private jet. Get on board, we have treats! I am dying from all the adorbs [video link]. […]
Tyler Kennedy tweeted this picture of himself & JStaal as Harry and Lloyd from Dumber & Dumber. They’re a little late to the party – Toews & Burish rocked this one in ’09. But I have to say that the Pens boys upped the ante – hats + JStaal’s wig = infinitely more frightening committed. […]
Today at JamesNeal.com: James Neal scored last night (we bet he did) in the Pens 3-2 win over the Islanders. It wasn’t just a goal – Neal scored the first and only 5-on-4 power play goal the Islanders have given up all season. He doesn’t just score. He breaks your streaks and ruins your percentages, […]
Does anyone know what’s up in Pittsburgh today? I hope they’re officially dropping “Steel City” and just going with “Pittsburgh: Girls Love” or starting to teach Geno-speak in schools, while letting kids wear ugly t-shirts and hug wild animals. Here’s the PensTV Report [link] – they should announce that Katie O needs to sit up […]
You guys are so nice! Sending me all this James Neal stuff to make sure I don’t miss anything… Nealmobile did not have a goal in last nights’ 3-0 win over the Islanders, but he did have a team-high 5 shots on goal. And a team high hairdo. Kessel Cartman has 9 goals to Nealer’s […]
