Mikey Monday

Mike was a little quiet during the Winter Classic, but not surrounding the Winter Classic.  In fact, he orchestrated getting a friend on the ice for the family skate to propose to his girlfriend!  How cute is that?! [Story] We watched the game at Giordano Bros. in SF, our fave Pittsburgh bar.  I had to […]

Here's Your Prize

Okay, the Caps won the Winter Classic.  Hissssssssssssss.  I got over it by watching this.  Unless you plan on ever getting in a car with Nicklas Backstrom (Warning: Don’t.  Scary u-turns ahoy.), you can skip to 3:52 for the best interview ever. The Capitals are all in LOVE with each other.  It’s kinda cute.  Brooks […]

NBC Executives Ride Short Buses To Work

Watching the AWESOME Winter Classic and Fabulous Washington Capital’s 3-1 Win over the Pens holding whining Slew-Foot Sid pointless MADE MY NEW YEAR! Welcome 2011! But the bizarre camera angles and annoying comentary from NBC made me wish my fellow WUYS tweeters had access to the CBC feed. Because Mr. Cherrie and I would have rather watched our lovely Canadian’s […]

Go Play Outside

The ‘stache is gone. Hallelujah. [Video] Somebody looks like a sleepy puppy.  Also, I really like this sweatshirt.  Not a great sign that it’s all he needs to wear outside in December, but hey.  They skated and the game is on (for now). Bonus: Jordan lost the shootout and had to run to the upper […]

24/7 Episode 3: "Girls love."

I had no one to yell/text/tweet to last night while watching 24/7.  The vase in my living room, however, is a huge hockey fan.  You can watch the whole show online at Youtube 247NHL.  Sadly for Dawn, Ovi kept his pants on the whole time.  Huzzah for the rest of us.  Highlights! – Ben Lovejoy’s […]

Newsies: 3-2-1 Contact

Today’s stories are brought to you in order of importance.  No.  In order of who I think is hottest. (So basically like every day here, right?) 1) Crosby’s point streak ended last night at 25 games and I bet Dawn was ringing a church bell in Spokane.  Sid was pouty-pants after the game, probably as […]

Mike Green is Love.

Okay, I wrote the whole post below before I saw this video feature that Mike did with NBC in DC. Mike makes lunch, wears a bracelet, does a puzzle and talks about seeing a sports psychologist over the summer. I will turn this whole world into the Mike Green Fan Club if I have my […]

Mikey Monday: Showstopper

Happy post-Christmas food coma, everyone!  I hope you enjoyed Thursday’s Penguins vs. Capitals shoot out stunner – if that doesn’t get you excited for the Winter Classic, you’re a Scrooge. Oh Mike.  Stealing the show on 24/7 with your Vespa and then coming alive on the scoreboard for the big game! We love it, baby. […]

24/7 Episode 2: "Adorkable"

My girl Kimmy has coined the perfect phrase to describe Mike Green, Sid and half the rest of the Pens and Caps on HBO’s 24/7 Episode 2: ADORKABLE. It’s absolute perfection. If I had the setup, I would have stayed up ALL night screencapping   Until then, here are the highlights that I can remember screaming […]

My House is Bugged…

I sit and watch TV and I tell Mr. Cherrie that our house is bugged because every time I say something,  BOOM! It happens. So I posted last week the whole hockey cats thing? And now – BOOM! I give you this! Did I unconsciously bring this into being? Am I really that good? I alway tell Mr. […]

Negative, Ghost Rider.

Once again, the internet is alive with rumors of Martin Brodeur on the trading block.  The Devils are like Desperate Housewives and their Wisteria Lane is a dead end.  Personally, I don’t give two Jersey-shaped cowpies if they trade Marty.  But here’s why it won’t be for Mike Green. 1: MONEY Green is no cheap […]

Mikey Monday – FTW!

Well well, the Capitals won a game. Even I am breathing a sigh of relief because I don’t like to see people get humiliated.  It’s one thing to lose 8 in row when your sad panda face is not all over HBO.  Plus, I don’t want to hear excuses when they play the Penguins on […]

HBO 24/7… We Wish

The only way to properly sum up the awesomeness of Penguins/Capitals: Road to the Winter Classic is to treat you to the real-time Twitter conversation between me and Dawn last night.  Please note, I had to rewatch the entire show because I was giggling so much the first time. The Penguins watched the show as […]

Buy Me Something Nice

I just sit here and laugh all day.  Everyone thinks I’m crazy but they can’t see this.  It’s from the Penguins Online Store, where you can buy my Christmas present.  The title of this series is Awkward Turtle.  Sid looks stiff as a board and really, Geno?  They had to photograph him in various stages […]

Best $10 I Ever Spent

It is time!!  Better than Christmas morning.  Call up your cable provider (I just did) and add HBO for $10/month so you can watch Penguins/Capitals Road to the Winter Classic on 24/7, starting tonight.  Yesterday, HBO promised us so much vulgarity that you should “hide your kids.”  If I had kids, they’d say, “F&$% that, […]

Showcase Showdown

Sid, Ovi and Jeremy Roenick will make a guest appearance on The Price is Right on Monday, December 20.  I saw this as a Tweet last night and thought I must be hallucinating.  Apparently not. The trio will introduce an NHL-themed showcase that includes a trip to Pittsburgh for the highly anticipated 2011 Bridgestone NHL […]

Mikey Monday

Fidget has the flu, which kept him out of last night’s spanking by the Rangers.  Dawn always says they can’t play without him.  We volunteer our in-home nursing services and hope Mike is better for Wednesday’s game vs. Anaheim. Back on Nov 29, the Capitals did a team building day at the FBI training facility […]

Weekend Warriors

My power to influence the universe continues to impress – I pick Ryane Clowe for Foxy Friday and what happens? He scores 2 goals vs. the Blackhawks on Saturday night and singlehandedly wins the game!  He’s named NHL  First Star of the Week!  I should start gambling. Alas, I am mad at Ryane because he […]

What Else is There To Say …

My Caps are in a 6 game losing streak which hasn’t EVER happen under Coach Boudreau. Ovi even had to resort to fighting tonight to try to get something started. Fidget is nowhere to be found. My fantasy texting keeps telling me that I am scoreless even after I picked Ovi a few games ago and he scored. How […]

Behind the Scenes w/ Ovi

Christmas has come early for Dawn.  Not only have I found her Christmas card image, but also her new job.  Caps365 posted this behind-the-scenes video of Ovi’s Winter Classic commercial shoot. I hate to admit that he looks kinda pimp in that sweatshirt.  Not to fear – he takes his shirt off in the video.  […]
