All other NHL teams have officially been put on notice. We wish more teams would highlight their talent like this. And by highlight, we mean take insanely attractive glamour shots of their players and create calendars which we can buy and hang in our offices and sigh dreamily over as we format excel spreadsheets, take […]
Greetings from JamesNeal.com. In James Neal news, James Neal scored again in the Pens 4-2 win over Minnesota last night [link]. Oh, you wanted a shiny new Nealmobile highlight reel? (No more rhyming and I mean it!). Here it is, thanks to PensTV [link]. JStaal, Duper and Kunitz also scored and Brent Johnson was first […]
Letang has been suspended 2 games for his boarding hit to Burmistrov during last night’s loss in Winnipeg. Here’s Shanaban explaining the call [link]. Shanny calls out that Burmistrov maintains his course and Kris finishes the check without trying to minimize impact. He also cites Tanger’s fine in April of last year for a boarding […]
Kris Letang will face a hearing with the NHL Dept of Player Safety today regarding his hit on Alex Burmistrov in the third period of last night’s game against Winnipeg [link]. He received a minor penalty for boarding on the play. If suspended, it would likely begin (and hopefully end) with tonight’s game in Minnesota. I […]
Welcome to another edition of “What’s James Neal Doing today?” here at JamesNeal.com. Oh, right. Thanks to Dawn & Chuck for sharing the love to other teams. He’ll have a new highlight reel soon, but in this Stars reel you can see why Headmaster Shero was all about getting Nealer on board in the ‘Burgh. […]
He turned them down! But they asked! I know. What a shame. But he did an awesome interview on “After Hours” when they were on HNIC. Kevin Weeks was all hot and bothered. Here’s the whole interview. Enjoy! He is just so awesome. I JUST LOVE HIM. And God Bless the CBC – they aired […]
Sam Kasan’s reports from Penguins practices are daily gold and you should never miss them. But today, it’s truly special [link]. In honor of Crosby being cleared for contact, he dedicates Weezer’s cover of Britney’s “(Hit Me) Baby… One More Time.” (Warning: it sounds a lot like the time I sang it, in costume, at […]
Please take a moment to enjoy the titles of NHL.com’s highlight reel from last night’s Penguins/Capitals game. Intentional or unintentional innuendo hilarity? Since I’m sure you all heard me screaming, you know the Nealmobile scored two goals. The second on request – I literally said, “Please score!” and he did. Immediately. I like a man […]
Real or not real? Sidney Crosby cleared for full contact. I have tears in my eyes. Intern Jeff Skinner is wearing frequency-cancelling headphones but can still hear the screaming. My birthday continues unabated. I’m wearing my Pens socks and had my Pens hat on this morning, but I should have just gone for the full jersey […]
Last night before the Pens home opener, look who got interviewed? My birthday indeed. The Nealmobile also had a goal, along with Dupuis, Cooke and Park in the Pens 4-1 win over Florida. Tanger had another assist and leads the NHL in both points (6) and assists (5). And hair. Flower leads the League with […]
Is that a good enough reason to post? Gator says she can’t learn more about hockey if that’s all I ever talk about. So the Nealmobile is helping me out – while he did in fact cut his hair, he is also playing like a BEAST so I can demonstrate the importance of statistics. He’s […]
I told Mr. Cherrie, the Penguins have won because everyone knows Lou goes down. And even Kevin Weeks is in love with Kris Letang – “He’s silky…” WTF? Does he know something we don’t? Oh well, I’ll share him.
NEALMOBILE for the first goal of the Penguins season! Get it, baby. It’s going to be a great year. Stop, you can’t even! James Neal is trending WORLDWIDE. How many Tweets did I write?!?!
It’s time to predict the eventual winners for the 2011-2012 season, so we can look smart and important when spring rolls around. Or not. Last year we all picked some combo of the Caps, Blackhawks, Canucks and Penguins [link]. That 25% result is less than the chance that Intern Jeff Skinner’s going to take you […]
Oh Geno, freaking everyone out and sending the Pens PR staff into a tizzy…
The Penguins hosted a town hall-style meeting today for the season ticket holders and any woman under the age of dead. You can watch the highlight video [link] and bask in the combined happiness of these guys. No one bothers to ask Geno why he’s wearing Ovi’s jeans. Watch Sid take the ice… we see […]
There was panic in loveland when Patrick Kane moved his locker stall from next to Toews’ to across the room. Aw, did somebody stay out too late and have to sleep on the couch? You know Kaner drinks right from the OJ carton too. Tazer hates that! Okay, I had a whole post going in […]
Mr. Pants needs to be on the Food Network so I can retire and just blog all day. There are so many good things! You’ve all heard by now that the Crosbot is practicing with the Pens. He’s not cleared for contact, but aren’t you just glad to see this face?! Here’s the post-practice interview […]
The rest of the Pens also participated in season ticket delivery – but none appear to have eaten a cookie. If only they’d known Crosby said it was okay! Check out Jordan’s goober wave as he approaches the first house. [link] And the tween girls who get their picture with him. Their lives just peaked. Flower […]
Every year this happens, and it isn’t to me. Of course if he came to my house, Mr. Pants would open the door in a Caps shirt (or better, my girl-sized Crosby jersey). There would be banging and scuffling from the closet. They would pretend to ignore it until the muffled sounds of ‘O Canada’ could […]
