Sharks! Sharks! Sharks!

I leave the Bay Area and NOW YOU WIN!?!?!  If my other teams were in it I’d be so mad at you.  But beggars can’t be choosers and you guys let us drink on Caltrain so… YAY SHARKS.  I hug you! Not only did you beat Detroit (insert me making siren noise here), but you […]

Going All The Way

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 […]

Wake Me Up When…

What do you guys want to talk about today? The Canucks win.  Somewhere Shea Weber’s beard defeats all attempts to be removed.  That thing had a building permit and poured a foundation, it’s going to be a hot summer in wherever Shea is from.  Ryan Kessler ditches the secret identity ruse and goes full-on super […]

On the Bright Side of the Street

Lately it has been a little doom and gloom around here.  And with some good reason, I’ll agree. First, the Pens lose and Pants was very sad, yet hopeful that Mikey and the boys can ease her pain. Then, the Mikey and said boys get swept up like dust bunnies by Steve Stamkos, “Father Time” […]

Guy Boucher and the Apprentices.

Fast forward to 6 minutes and 28 seconds to get the actual point when the brooms multiply if you’re not familiar with this classic. Or watch the whole damn thing. It actually includes lightning which is quite fitting. And then the Capitals Meet Tampa Bay: And then the saddest death: In memoriam – the Washington Capitals […]

Have You Seen…

The Tampa Bay bus?  Yeah, it went this way.

Wha' Happened?

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 […]

Mikey Monday: Had a Bad Day

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 […]

We're Going to the Game!

EEEEEEEEEEEE!  Gator and I are going to Caps game tonight!  We just bought tickets on StubHub for $62 each.  WHAT?!  Good thing we were at work really early before everyone in DC wakes up and realizes Round 2 starts today. I only slept 4 hours last night and we’re both wearing blue.  Commence emergency maneuvers! […]

We're Coming for You

It’s confirmed that Sidney Crosby will not ride the white zamboni onto the ice tonight for Game 7.  I needed to see this in writing before I gave up the hope.  That said, the Penguins are going to rock.  I am getting really excited to speed home from yet another work event in time for […]

Taking it to the Limit

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 […]

This Week's Play-Offs Are Brought To You By The Letter "D".

I know what you’re thinking, I’m going to pull the obvious word out my butt, but not yet. I’ll get to Letang and dreamy Mike Green and someone else in a second. But first up, Jeremy Roenick has been harping on the first word, DISCIPLINE. Coming from JR, it conjures a couple of thoughts because […]

TK Tuesday!

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 […]

The Final Countdown

You should all read this NHL.com article that runs down every single team and where they stand with 2-4 games left in the regular season.  I held my breath the entire time. Oh the East.  I really want Carolina to make this one… Intern Jeff Skinner playoff reports, people!  If the Pens can please stay […]

Sasha Squared = Bi-Winning!

Hey all you Caps fans! Did I call it or what? Who’s on fire? Sasha Fierce is on fire!  Who saved the game tonight against Tampa? Sasha Fierce tieing it with less than 7 minutes to go.  My other Russian Machine nailed the coffin shut with a shootout goal. Who won the game in OT against Florida? […]

Birthday Boy: Steven Stamkos

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 […]

Everybody Loves All-Stars

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 […]

To Concuss Or Not To Concuss?

Did Slewfoot Sid get his bell rung in the WC from Steckel or did he get it the next night during SCOREFEST 2011? That is the TOPIC THUNDER-GATE TODAY! Either way, the kid is down and out and snuggling with the Flower for a week and the Penguins have a big PR problem on their […]

An Epic of Epicness of Epicnessnessness

Pick your side and step right up to snorefest, I mean, SCOREFEST 2011! It’s Slewfoot Sid verses stampeding Stamkos! One night only! Not really but it sounds good since they will be playing each other again but when you have two scoring machines like these two *ouch* my – fingers – cramping – sorry – Ovi – must- […]

Now & Later: Steven Stamkos

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 […]
