As Shi alterted us last night, Stammer (@RealStamkos91) Tweeted a picture of his healing face, because Gator kept asking for one. We all agree: it’s still better than 95% of faces we see everyday. PS: Hairstyling by Jordan Staal.
Steven’s break-up day interview was less sad than expected [video]. Also on the bright side, his busted face is healing very nicely. Little puffy-eyed shiner action just makes him look tough. The beard was good while it lasted, eh? One of our favorites this season. He even had a few smiles for the summertime. Well […]
I have no problem saying that hockey players are tougher than other athletes. Sure each sport has tough guys and heroic stories, but those are exceptions. This is the norm: Steven Stamkos, you’re a BAMF. He’s also 21 and in his first ever playoff run, and facing his second game 7 elimination situation. What does […]
Chuck is inconsolable today about having the face Game 7 tomorrow night in Boston. Baby, this is the story of my life. Try to remember that drama is what the playoffs are about. It’s why we love them. That sick-to-your-stomach feeling that ends in leaping around the living room or lying face down on the […]
If only this article would have come out BEFORE the Capitals played Tampa Bay then maybe they would have stood a chance! But NO! On the other hand, do hockey fans really read Sports Illustrated? Because they hardly EVERY cover anything on hockey. It would have been the best kept secret, like it still is. […]
Now that you won’t be able to get this song out of your head, it’s the battle of the Super Twins, Count Von Count-anyone-can-do-this-job VS. Jumbo Scrimp (Oxy-Maroon), I’m-still -Cryin’ Patty Mar-where’s-the-loo and Logan Haute-Couture. Who will win the West-Coast Battle for the Cup? I called Vancouver in the Wayback Machine. On the East Coast […]
So this happened last night. And if you expected something else, you must be new around here. Gator was particularly excited, and posted a photo of an Ice Girl picking up an octopus on my door this morning. She had faith. And we’re ready for Thursday’s Game 7. I want to rock my Sharks jersey […]
It’s good to be Tampa Bay! Evidently this 1-3-1 defense is flummoxing everyone and I don’t really understand why the Penguins or the Caps are having a problem with it NOW. Hasn’t Tampa had it ALL SEASON? Is it a surprise NOW? Do they need a special decoder ring because I’m pretty sure Pierre Maguire […]
Whenever someone messes up in a Caps game I think, “Thank God it wasn’t Mike.” But last night, it was. I hung around Verizon for about 30 min yesterday after the Nationals game, deciding if I should spend way too much money on a hockey ticket or save it for Game 5. If there is […]
I really do. I was there last year. My caps went out in the first round. This was me last year. But I lived through it. And you will too. You are better than this and your men need you. Maybe not your team but there are others out there in the trenches fighting, that […]
Last night watching the Pens game, I was all… Listen, Stamkos. I wanted you to have some luck. Not spend the whole 3rd period with your helmet off trying to convince us it’s okay if we have to see you for another round. We are impervious to your blond-ness. You didn’t even do anything last […]
I can’t make an alliterative joke about Tuesday without wanting tacos! The Pens won 3-2 last night on a sweet baby barbecue sauce goal from Tyler Kennedy. [video] If you’ve never watched a Pens game with me, TK gets some of the loudest cheering. He is my Who from Whoville, wha-hoo-na. LePretty had 2 assists […]
Did I forget I was in charge at Bauer? Because I definitely did the endorsement casting for these commercials: NICKY SPEAKING SWEDISH! Wish you were in the playoffs, EStaaaaaaaaaaal.
Way back in November, we posted that Stammer should call us when he no longer needs a fake ID. Well that day has arrived. Happy 21st birthday, Steven Stamkos! Okay, we’re a day late. But I totally invited Steven Stamkos to Vegas for his birthday. Maybe next year. We’re really happy about Steve coming of […]
Pretty much every team has posted their All-Stars’ reactions to being selected, so there are a ton of videos. But I like this one best – it’s Team Dawn and Team Pants. I think these two are the only Capitals NOT in a bromance, despite the enthusiasm of their on-ice hugging. [Video] PS: I still […]
Let’s talk about someone we never talk about here: Steven Stamkos. As if leading the league in goals and points was not enough reason, I want to point out that Stamkos in 20. That’s fine in Canada but Tampa Bay? They have a Yuengling brewery for eff’s sake! This poor guy. No wonder he practices […]
