We really miss hockey, but it’s safe to say this off-season is going down in history. Best ever? Well, it’s not the worst and I’m not waiting for Friday. The Ice Bucket Challenge began in July in support of ALS research. Read more about it here and hire Frates & Quinn for more marketing campaigns. The movement […]
GAH. Chuck keeps posting pictures of Westlife from a hundred years ago and now the Oilers are back and my boyband meter is off the charts. Intern Jeff Skinner might get sent to Krispy Kreme to pickup lunch. This week is the 3rd Annual Jordan Eberle & Friends golf tournament for the Hospitals of Regina Foundation. The event included […]
Welcome back, NHL hockey. Before I watch my first evening game in weeks tonight, the Olympic break needs a nod to non-Olympians. Not everyone went to Sochi – or stayed home watching ice dancing. Without posting the entire Tumblr tag (Honestly, where do people find this stuff?), it’s safe to say you wish you went […]
Here you are in your Team Whatever jersey, wearing patriotic mittens, when you find out one (or more) of your favorite NHL players didn’t make their respective Olympic team. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. For two solid weeks in February, you’re invited to our party. Okay, it’s probably going to look more like this: But […]
I hope you made a New Year’s resolution to watch more hockey, if that’s possible. Not in my house. While the US announced their Olympic roster after the Winter Classic, Canada found another way to fill their hockey quota. Video: CBC – Defending Gold: Inside the Making of Canada’s Team It’s thirty minutes inside the minds […]
We will never hear the end of this one. Only kidding. Congratulations Intern Jeff Skinner on his first career hat trick! Look how excited everyone is! Especially Jordan! Especially us! And these people in the Intern Jeff Skinner Fan Club – Nashville Chapter! (Psst: We told you so.) Forget that. More exclamation points!!!!! Jeff […]
If you want to feel old, watch the Oilers. If you want to feel even older, fall asleep during an Oilers game and know that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins stayed up later than you did. Pre-game interview, Post-game interview He also scored a goal in his first game back from shoulder surgery, which catalyzed the Oilers to a […]
I cannot go away for one second! It’s like Toy Story in here – I go outside and everything suddenly comes to life. Where to begin? #TeamEbs took over the NHL Instagram account and used the opportunity to make fun of Molly Ringwald. Our favorite boy band also introduced an act at the Canadian Country […]
#CAMP may be over, but camps are just beginning. Invitees for Team Canada’s Olympic camp were arriving in Calgary all weekend, as documented by this airport employee: Source: Twitter There is a space for volunteers. AND IT IS BLANK. Alas, the enterprise of TSN is not to be underestimated. They were live on the scene […]
It’s going to be a long summer of Tumblr and Instagram and whatever you guys send us, but doesn’t it make you happy to know that even in summer things are the same? Somewhere in California, Sidney Crosby is assaulting pockets in a sports store where he never expected there to be a girl. (Source: […]
Five days left left? NHL ’13, we hardly knew ye! Let’s be honest, though. The 2013 season has not been kind to all those we love. Some teams, after these grueling months, could use a break, a tan and another go at it next year. I’m not saying quit, of course. Feel free to ruin […]
If this little girl could read, I’d swear she was reading our Tweets from last night: It was a big game for #TeamEbs and the reunited Kid Line in St. Louis! Jordan had two beautiful goals. He almost scored his first NHL hat trick on a breakaway, but he and Taylor heard @amandalitty was […]
I’m swamped today, but there’s always time for this! Claude Giroux named Captain of the Flyers Of course, you know that already [Press Release]. Personally I would have gone with Briere (shocking). Can our Flyer fan friends weigh on Claude’s locker room leadership type? It’s certainly good marketing sense to make your highest profile player […]
On Thursday, 12/27 Taylor Hall scored a hat trick. Exciting, right? Almost as exciting as Ebs’ NYE hat trick – 3 goals in 3 minutes! Showoff. [Post-Game Interview] #TeamEbs Not to be outdone, Molly Ringwald leads the entire World Junior tournament with 11 points in 4 games. Team Canada will face Team USA in […]
Chuck had a dream last night that Jordan Eberle was her boyfriend. Normally I would say that my work here is done, but Ebs and Co. will not be satisfied until they 1) lead the AHL and 2) convert you all. There’s still one holdout, she’s over there. The OKC Barons have won their last […]
America, land of democracy. To prove that every vote counts, not just the people running the place: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAYLOR HALL. (That sound you hear is Amanda and Jess crashing to the floor.) Since Taylor’s living and playing in the US, his 21st birthday is a big deal. We hope he makes good decisions, […]
I seem to have failed, through all the posts and games and screaming fits, to truly appreciate one aspect of hockey’s influence on my life: stress relief. Sure I get worked up about the games – rip a pillow, maybe throw a shoe – but it vents all my work frustration at the same time. […]
Jordan Eberle really wants to be our intern. He applies twice a week – and those are just the resumes we see. Imagine how many Intern Jeff Skinner has intercepted! As “Job Experience,” Jordan humbly mentioned that he’s s a spectacular hockey player. He has 25 G/30 A this season, another in the Oilers rebuilding campaign. Edmonton […]
Attention hockey players, Behold reason 2,369,067 to wear a helmet. Warning! Warning! This may make you queasy. You are begging….nay – PLEADING with you all. Please, for the love of Dear Lord Baby Jesus and Tim Tebow – wear your freakin’ helmets! We don’t care that it is just warm-up. We don’t care that […]
I don’t know where the last month has gone and I have completely neglected to put up this guest post by the lovely Jessica W! Since @amandalitty is going to her first ever NHL game tomorrow – Blackhawks vs. Penguins (way to peak too soon!) – here’s a play-by-play of Jess getting to see her beloved […]
