Marc-Andre Fleury was handsomely married to his longtime girlfriend Veronique on Saturday. We bring you highlights from the Red Carpet Show, with your host Sidney Crosby. Sid: This is Captain Tiny Pockets, reporting live from… wait, what is that? Neal, Tanger, are you seeing what I see? James: Uhhhhhhhuh. Kris: Busy checking out #18 there, […]
You know those movies where every single thing happens in one day and you’re thinking, “Right, who ever has a day like that?” Then in the middle of this: This happens: The trade was tempered by news on Wednesday that Jordan turned down a 10-year, $60 million deal with the Penguins. He had one year […]
Hey, where is everybody? We have run tripped fallen chased followed been invited by Sid to the beach. We’re making some small off-season tweaks around here. Well, we are not actually doing anything – someone fantastically sci-fi is manning the ship (Hi Vince!). Chuck and I are busy wondering if Sid had to wear these shorts out of the store because he […]
The Kings won again, they always do. I’ll let Chuck or Dawn recap it for you. The game was exceptionally fun to watch, since I don’t really care about the outcome. But here’s something I do care about: HEY SID! He was on to Jumbrotron and, of course, promptly booed. Genius. He hasn’t played against […]
For a few days after something bad happens, you don’t want to be cheered up. You want to drown in a cocktail shaker or eat an entire wedding cake. If you’re me, you picked a bright orange heavy bag and kickboxed the crap out of it a la Captain America. Then life goes on. Other […]
I don’t hate fighting as much as some other people. What I dislike is hypocrisy. Philly has never made any apologies for who they are. What shocked me was Matt Cooke managed to stayed out of the fray. Pittsburgh needs to decide quickly if they are going to play as a team to stay in […]
Mike Milbury is talking crap again. In other news, water is wet. He made some derogatory remarks about Sidney Crosby is a Philly radio interview discussing the brawl at the end of Saturday’s game. He called Sidney a “punk” and a “goody two shoes” among other things that you can read about on ESPN.com [link]. Let me […]
If you weren’t watching the Penguins/Flyers game yesterday afternoon, you probably wondered what that noise was. It was the rest of us screaming. I could (and will) watch this all day. The amount of awesome cannot be expressed. Even Pierre is speechless. I wish they’d kept his mic live so we could hear Laviolette screaming. […]
Last night was not good for anyone. Sidney took a puck to the face. I’ve said “not the face!” many times, but never at such volume. Sid bled everywhere and then did what hockey players do best, let it stop and kept playing. Well, it didn’t totally stop. He will play tonight against Buffalo, a […]
Ohhhh, HAT trick. I thought you said PANT trick. That’s how my jeans ended up on the ice. Could I have them back? Nealmobile had a hat trick last night! It was the second of his career and first with the Penguins, for a whopping 37 goals on the season. Goal #1: Stand There, Look […]
As the resident Ovechkin fan, I’m used to being odd-man-out so I’m just going to go for it today in this edition of: With the return of Crosby, is it REALLY a good idea? I give you the following reasons: 1. Chemistry – Malkin is ON F*CKING FIRE. His run for the Hart trophy could be […]
The Crosbot is back. That’s right, the hottest team in the League is getting back the best player in the League just in time to play the top team in their division. In mid-March. I would think we’re in a Disney sports movie if I didn’t have to work on all the Disney movies for […]
What’s that? I can’t hear you over my screaming. The Captain is back (again). Let’s hope for good this time. Pittsburgh is 4 points behind New York for the top spot in the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference. The Pens are idle till Thursday, but the Rangers play tonight vs. the Hurricanes. If EStaal […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
How have I never seen this before? My favorite is Getzlaf – he cannot get a single word out. Even Crosby’s getting sassy.
Welcome to the Island of Misfit Toys Injury Island. At this point it would be easier to list NHL players who are not hurt, but we don’t want to jinx anyone. There are still two-thirds of the season left to play. Sidney Crosby is out again with concussion-like symptoms. He passed the ImPACT test but […]
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 […]
