In this season’s first episode of the Penguins series “In the Room,” you can learn all about Joe Vitale, the very short pre-season and other fascinating hockey-related things. Then forget them all in the last 10 seconds. The next thing Sid will have to pick up off the floor is me. You can watch the […]
At the 1:28 mark of this post-practice interview from yesterday, watch how James Neal responds to being reunited on-ice with Malkin. It’s like his first day back at school, seeing that girl he had a crush on last year. In actual hockey news (sigh of relief), it looks like James is going to play the […]
Welcome to the Land of Nothing Left to Talk About, where I dredge the internet for blog topics. Today, I got a kick out of these: From GongshowGear.com First of all, who researches these pants? Do they go around measuring hockey players? Or better yet, is there a back room and one of those tailor […]
Dear 2013, Please don’t let us down. Love, Pants, Chuck and everyone who feels like the kids in this photo Crosby plays in Cole Harbor charity game [link] Have a safe and happy holiday, everyone!
Just in case tomorrow really is the end of the world, it’s been fun. The lockout can’t ruin hockey for me. I decide what I love about it, like the Penguins and Capitals at the same time. Throw in a Flyer while you’re at it. Expansion teams, underage boyfriends, never remembering if the Blackhawks are […]
This is a few days old, but the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. It doesn’t hurt if you’ve got a smile like Flower’s, either. Also doing good work for the holidays – the Blackhawks, helping the Greater Chicago Food Depository [link]. Jon’s getting way too much hand-in-pocket […]
Esbee (@Esbee92) might have the greatest Twitter self-description ever: “I like boys. And hockey. And boys. Did I mention hockey?” She was lovely enough to scan the current issue of The Hockey News for us, after I searched the entire east coast of the United States for a copy. No dice. I know that reading […]
Today’s productivity will officially be… SQUAT. Please tell me this CCM Pro Summit camp in Vail back in November was like regular summer camp, and they’re rehearsing an end-of-season Talent Show dance routine. Kellerman’s, anyone? I carry a mean watermelon. Look at Duchene desperately trying to avert his eyes. Look away, look away… or just […]
I’m not sure if I’m talking about Sid or what Sid is saying, because frankly both are doing me in right now. By tylerbug.tumblr.com For all the times he’s said nothing in post-game and interviews, when even I called him a robot… sorry, Crosby. I was only kidding. His diplomacy at this point is astounding, seconded […]
You all know Crosby and Toews are two of the NHL players meeting with a group of owners today, sans Bettman and Fehr. It could mean nothing or everything, but I really appreciate seeing these two still fighting. They’ve given up their seasons too. If they’d already gone to Europe I don’t know what hope […]
Patrick Kane likes to party. In other news, Tyler Seguin is hot. When two things so obvious to the world collide, it can only end in Bromaggedon. First, it was just casual hanging out. Maybe a Tuesday night happy hour, catch a movie in English with both French and German subtitles that cover half the […]
I can’t do a Foxy Friday when I’m this upset. Furious Friday, maybe. You can read all about the depressing turndowns of the NHL and NHPLA competing offers at yesterday’s meetings in Toronto. I have seen enough. The NHL took a swing at the PR tide by announcing a 50/50 offer to the NHLPA. It’s […]
The NHLPA and NHL cannot get anything done. Neither can I. Only the reasons are different. The NHL sees this photo and says: So you think you can dance? The NHLPA posts this photo and says: Goonies never say die. I see this photo and say: Where is my damn Mexicola, Intern Jeff Skinner?! […]
The girls are all in a tizz on the Twitter over this Crosby video, and now I can finally see why. DAMN COLORADO, what is in your water? Is that why Gabe is so Gabe all the time? We thought it was Sweden. Sid has never looked better… he even seems fit to burst out […]
Lockout, Day 11: Anger Management Since I have nothing better to do than troll the internet while self-medicating with Taylor Swift songs, I’ve found a few gems. The kind that make you smile and cry at the same time. Bleacher Report: 50 Storylines the NHL Lockout is Making Us Miss It took me a few […]
Lockout, Day 9 – Philosophical Questions If jeans are really good in this life, do they get to come back as Sidney Crosby’s jeans in the next life? (How about people named Pants, do they qualify?)
In case you were getting nervous about the CBA deadline looming on Saturday, somewhere in Colorado… Crosbot, Gabe the Babe, Talbot, Duchene, Tavares and RNH were traning at Pro Summit Camp. That short of breath feeling has nothing to do with altitude, y’all. It’s just like summer camp, with Max as head counselor. There are […]
We all know that hockey players are foxy. I mean, why else would we devote an entire blog day to them? Also foxy – the same hockey players with puppies. Seriously. I double dog dare you to find anything foxier. (Don’t even try. Because you won’t.) This week’s Foxy Friday is dedicated to those furry […]
Mother of all that is NSFW. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. If you can’t say something that wouldn’t make Horward Stern blush, good luck writing a blog post that includes Sidney Crosby’s new SportChek workout campaign. It should cost $5.99 a minute to hear what I’m thinking right now. […]
Happy Canada Day! Oh, wait. Merry Christmas! No, that’s not it either. Happy 25th birthday to the Crosbot! Yeah, that’s the one. You either love Sidney Crosby, or you hate him. Which is fine because I love him enough for everyone. Sure, sometimes I want to smack him and say, “Stop being such a brat!” […]
