If there’s one thing I like more than hockey, it’s food. Last night the Capitals Fan Appreciation Night had free hockey AND free food. So of course we were in the front row. Rockin’ the Red with Rae and Pam For this… BAM! No beard. Hallelujah and also merci. I’ll give you the hair, Greener, […]
Roster photos are like a walk through a mine field. Never have so many attractive guys looked like they were kidnapped, stuffed in a trunk and taken to a Walmart Portrait Studio. Remember that one parent with the plastic comb that “fixed” everyone’s hair on school picture day? That parent was absent from the Penguins […]
Do you ever get the feeling Mike Green doesn’t want us to like him? 1.12 Post-practice video Only kidding. He shaved his neck beard to show he cares. (Clearly he read our Puck Daddy playoff beard coverage.) It wouldn’t work anyway. If we liked this Mike Green: And this Mike Green: Then Cat Stevens here […]
Speaking of Foxy Friday… PIGLET IS BACK! More than anything so far, this makes me happy. Happy to the point of: After visiting a specialist in Michigan earlier this week, Backstrom says there is no concussion and he’s 100%. We say, “Oh yes, you are.” Watch the whole video, because you’ve missed Nicky so: Backstrom addresses […]
In an alternate universe, today is Monday, December 17. The Panthers are playing the Capitals tonight. I’ll be there, meeting Rae and Josie in our usual seats before the pre-game skate with a beer and chicken tenders. It’s a great game: Mike has a hat trick, Nicky has four points, iCarly is under the hood […]
A brief spark of lockout-ending hope arced across the sky this week. Just as appears to be plummeting back to Earth like a flaming piece of space debris… Mike Green holds a baby. My faith in the world is restored. He must know we’re out here on the raggedy edge. Short of showing up at […]
I thought the apocalypse was truly nigh when Tumblr failed to produce a single photo from last night’s Front Page Arlington Sandy charity drinking fest. Alas, Russian Machine Never Breaks saves the day! The event featured a bar crawl poker tournament (cool idea, read about it here) and Mike Green. What more does a girl need? THIS HAIR. […]
Who cares what day it is when there’s nothing to look forward to?! Listen, Bettman. I need hockey. Not just for the skating, shooting, scoring and screaming. I need a pre-game skate at the Verizon Center bumping “I Get a Good Feeling” and this man with no helmet on while I cling to a Dunkin’ […]
Our love for Movember comes in many forms. On one hand it’s gives us warm & fuzzies to see hockey players doing something fun to raise money and awareness for a good cause. Also, we like to see people looking silly. We’ve even gone so far as to suggest some people should take donations not […]
Yesterday, Mike asked: So are we, my friend. While we’re sure Mike would look be great at lifting heavy things around the WUYS office, some actual work must be done here. We can’t just be watching the help all day long, asking them to get things off high shelves and turning the heat up full […]
Bored with the lockout, Mike and I are both rebound-dating the NFL. Yesterday we watched the Ravens game. Only difference is, he was there. I was at a pumpkin patch on a hay ride with no hay. It’s a metaphor for my life. from www.RussianMachineNeverBreaks.com Don’t start sticking your hands in your pockets now, buddy. […]
So it’s Monday morning and I’ve already torn my jeans and gotten the wrong ice tea from Dunkin Donuts. Everyone in DC is off work except for me, because the movie industry does not care about the alleged discovery of the New World. Sorry Columbus. There’s only one way to save this Monday: New Mike […]
It’s Monday, and the first of October. I expected to be writing about pre-season games and the fact that in 10 days, the regular season would start on my birthday. Followed by the Caps home opener on October 12, Mike’s birthday. Instead, we’re still on golf. I’ll admit it: I saw this picture several times […]
Yesterday was pretty great. What more could you want out of a vacation day spent shoveling mulch and mixing concrete? Me, some guy, Josie, some other guys and Rhea You should all come to the Kaboom Caps playground build next year, but only if you’re prepared to work your butts off. We had a great […]
With the NHL lockout looming over us like that creepy guy at work always looking over your shoulder at your computer, we’re starting to worry. A large part of our anxiety is that if the NHL does lockout, we will be denied a new shiny batch of Foxy Fridays to choose from. And that is […]
On Saturday afternoon, NHL Network replayed the Caps’ triple-OT loss to the Rangers in Game 3 of last season’s playoffs. I turned it on halfway through the third period… and proceeded to watch over 60 minutes of hockey knowing a) nothing happens and b) when something finally does, it’s horrible. That’s how much I miss […]
If you don’t follow @alexsemin, then I don’t know what you spend your time laughing at. And you missed the goobye haikus composed for his former Caps teammates, coaches, broadcasters and foes. My favorite: In my mind, the only thing Sasha Fierce ever did right: Based on this photo of Mike, taken last week and trolled […]
How I feel right now. And from my good side: Too bad my hair doesn’t look like this. Wahwaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I’m almost sorry we gave Mikey the Mondays because sometimes they are so exhausting. And I am not even remotely adorable or hedgehog-y when feeling wiped out. You know what helps? (I didn’t even have to […]
As you may have heard amid all the screaming yesterday, Mike Green has re-signed with the Capitals. Of course it happened on a Monday! He got a three year deal worth $18.25 million. The deal pays him $6 million for the next two seasons and $6.25 million in 2014-15. That is not a typo. You’re […]
“You got your Tony Lama’s on, your jeans pressed tight….” – Jimmy Buffett (Psst. Tony Lama’s are cowboy boots.) Put down your cereal spoon give thanks for Eileen Duong. Not only is she lucky and generous, but she takes a wicked cell phone photo. (All photos with permission, from eileenduong.tumblr.com) Yesterday, Mike turned down the Capitals […]
