Tonight’s the night. NHL Awards in Las Vegas! Bring on the attractive hockey players in impeccably fitted suits. Bring on the awkward (and hilarious) red carpet interviews. Bring on the D-list celebrities who can’t pronounce the winner’s name (Martin St. Lewis!). Here’s who we think is going to bring on the hardware… Hart (Lundqvist/Malkin/Stamkos) Should: Chuck […]
We have to make a whole category for this if we’re going to get through the off-season. Can someone remind me what we did in the summer before Twitter? How did we ever know: Who makes double entendres with random-yet-endearing capitalization? What Ebs dreams of when he looks in the mirror? Who needs you to […]
Monday I said, “Can we get an off-season photo of Steven Stamkos?” If he started wearing a ponytail for the summer, I want get my crying out of the way before workout videos start to pop up. Today, VOILA. This video of Steven accepting an award for being Steven-tastic not only includes him talking on a […]
Saturday was an epic hockey marathon featuring every team in the NHL. Some games were for playoff position, others were a last hurrah. For me, not even that killer Caps win came close to seeing Steven Stamkos score his 60th goal of the season. And get a pie in the face. Stop looking at Ran […]
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 […]
I hope I didn’t exhaust the #sorrychuck tag this weekend, because it needs one more outing. Steven Stamkos scored his 50th goal of the season last night in Tampa Bay’s 6-1 rout of the Bruins. I was #Landeskoging all over even though I wasn’t watching the game. Stammer was the first star, naturally. Enjoy this […]
There are 857 million things I love about doing this blog, but the stuff you send us definitely earns the #1 spot. Happy Tuesday! Michelle deployed her daughter into enemy territory on Sunday in DC to take a few photos of… who else? I bet her daughter was sitting right next to me (and a […]
I like to think that if your car breaks down in Canada, you take it to a place like this. Stamkos, Eberle, Phaneuf and Spezza in the new commercial Nike “Clutch” truck commercial. Oh, Eberle. Checking himself out in the hubcap.
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 think it’s safe to say you all know how I feel about Steven Stamkos. I don’t run away from just anyone in the street! Well today is Stammer’s 22nd birthday… as if I needed an excuse to gush. He’s handsome. He’s charming. And he has excellent friends. But I digress. Steven also has the […]
When Mr. Pants and I boarded our flight in Houston on Saturday, I had NO idea there would be individual TVs on the plane. Then I saw the All-Star Game Skills Competition was on. I may have screamed. One swipe of the AMEX later, I was sitting an inch from the screen with a huge […]
Hey, I’m back! Intern Jeff Skinner reporting for duty! No one around here seems to care, since Pants was on vacation and leaves again tomorrow for her honeymoon. Supposedly she doesn’t know where they’re going. Pretend to act surprised when it’s Pittsburgh. At least then she can’t keep telling me I should have closed my […]
The Lightning beat the Flyers 5-1 last night, which means you’ll get to see Stammer’s flowing locks again on 24/7 next week. Oh, and his two sick goals. Tampa Bay is still struggling below .500 and near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, but it’s always fun to beat Philly. Stamkos post-game interview [link] – […]
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! […]
I want the Tampa Bay Lightning to play better, because they are such a happy crew. Behind-the-scenes from the Tampa Bay Magazine cover story: And there’s adorable video too [link]. The Bolts are 11-13-2, while the cross-state Panthers are killing it and leading the division. That’s right, I said the PANTHERS. Remember when Rob Niedermayer […]
Hurkey durkey, Turkey! We know you’re all thankful for hockey, and this week’s Foxy Friday is just a reminder of all the things in the world there are to celebrate. Dawn & Chuck are out shopping and Intern Jeff Skinner is making sweet potatoes with marshmallows (you should see his apron), so I’m going to […]
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 […]
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, […]
You guys are a crack squad of awesome. This week is like a TV show where you’re all CSI and solving the case of who can send us the best photo. The @BioSteelSports Camp posted this one from the summer – imagine how many more they have? Don’t make us break in there, guys. It’s bad […]
As the new season kicks off, there will be no shortage of times we say BEST. THING. EVER. So I’m making it a category, in case you want to keep track of the little things that don’t require much except a moment to appreciate their tiny spectacularity (yes, I’m making up words too). Random Favorite […]
