So what do the San Jose Sharks do on their one day off before handing the Washington Capitals a giant goose egg? Well, this is where the fun begins. You guess and then I guess. Then we discover together the correct answer of how those wacky fun loving Sharkies spend their valuable time off when they’re […]
I watched Sunday’s Pens vs. Caps game at 9:30 AM in Las Vegas. Do you know how hard it is to organize 10 people before breakfast at a bachelor/bachelorette party? For hockey? My dedication knows no bounds. Mr. Pants insisted I bet on the Caps, which I did not. It’s sacrilege. Of course now the […]
I’m calling this Sunday’s showdown of Penguins vs Capitals NBC’s Fistfest-o-Rama 2011. Because with the punchfest the Penguins are on, I suspect it will continue well into Sunday. And I for one, can’t wait! I am even hoping that Mike Milbury will drop Piere Macguire during the first intermission so we won’t have to listen […]
Fire up your synthesizer! Here we are, post All-Star break and there are 67 days left in the regular season. Since we’re quite used to telling everyone what to do (and being ignored), here are a few things we’d like to offer for consideration: Penguins: If you stay at #2 in your division and end […]
When I saw this photo, I nearly burst my spleen laughing. WHO DOES THESE? Either brilliant or tragic, you decide. Yah00! Puck Daddy caption: “Dude, senior prom was weird this year.” My first thought was: This is how they make their moves on the ladies. Let me dim the lights by throwing my jersey over […]
I am watching the All-Star Mad Skills competition and look up and lo-and-behold – THIS. Did I just fall in to an alternative reality? Did the universe just shift like in the original Star Trek and they go through a worm hole and Capt. Kirk finds out that the Blue Chick is super hot and Spock is really […]
The Caps had a great weekend! Nicky B. dropped his scoring drought-o-rama and Ovi has his 1oth career hat trick! Cheers all around! They held on to beat Toronto after the heart breaking loss last time when they were up 4-1. Holtby was in net and did an awesome job. Sorry kids but these two photos were just too awesome not […]
Introducing Mike Green, All-Star Game alternate captain for Team Staal. I control the universe!! This could not wait for Mikey Monday. From the NHL.com article, I just loved this part: Green has been the NHL’s most dynamic offensive defenseman the previous two seasons, but he has also steadily improved his work at the defensive end. […]
So the rumor mill has cranked back up again and supposedly Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff are back on the auction block even though, like a fat chick loves cup cakes – well let’s be honest we ALL LOVE those sweet delicious treats, Calgary keeps saying “No, No. No.” But media speculation is high as the trade deadline nears and those in the […]
Evidently I am not the only one completely in love with DREW ‘TOUCHED BY GOD’ DOUGHTY. I was feeling like the only LA King’s fan in the WORLD and I may still be. But HNIC’s big game this weekend was Edmonton VS LA KING’s and not only were we treated to a special highlight of LA KINGS Legendary […]
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 […]
Not a good weekend for some goalies. Tim Thomas ended up watching this one go straight down the five hole LITERALLY. Which was a complete oddity given that Timmy the Tank was playing so well. When I saw it happen live I was screaming at the TV and Mr. Cherrie because I had sent him to kitchen to get […]
Dawn’s talking about the Pens, I’m talking about the Caps – it’s like Freaky Friday in here. (Okay, maybe not.) There are days when you’re the guy, and days when you aren’t. Mike Green was definitely the guy in the Caps’ Saturday night win over Florida. First, he made this pass to Eric Fehr from […]
When Pants and I were Twittering during the various 24/7 episodes, there were a few things I came to realize, Kris Letang is HOT. He is the only Penguin I will cop to that about. Secondly, way before this blog and 24/7, MAF caught my eye because a fan put a sign up against the glass for […]
In honor of the Caps current winning streak. Many of you may have already seen this but I don’t care. I love seeing Mike banging the drums, Ovi shaking his ass and Brooksy trying to look dangerous. Plus, I think it is just a vat of plain gratuitousness of awesomeness, rolled around in sparkly sprinkles of chocolately cupcake deliciousness. I […]
Dawn is up in arms that I didn’t mention Handshake-Gate 2011, which I actually just forgot. Glad you brought that up! Because here is the single HBO FAIL for this whole series. They say it happened in every other Classic, but don’t believe everything you hear on TV. The Penguins did not line up for […]
The NHL’s biggest mainstream media events of the season are over, but man were they good. HBO’s 24/7 finale was a beauty; the Winter Classic was worth all that hype in the end. Highlights from the last episode: – Matt Cooke’s son in the matching suit. That is gangsta. And then his dad throws some […]
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- […]
The Russian Machine never breaks and evidently Alex Ovechkin never stops making promos either as evidenced below. ESPN pulled the clip from Pants’ post below but I got it via a tweet from the Caps. IT WAS HILARIOUS! I just wonder seriously who pitches these things to him, “Hey Alex, we are gonna go to the […]
Okay, okay! It’s funny! (Bonus hearts for Steve Levy.) Dawn hates Varly… does this change your mind? [New video link]
