On Friday, I was meeting our friend Matt at Shake Shack in DC for lunch. He called me five minutes before I was due to arrive: “Mike Green is here. Mike Green is here.” Needless to say I ran out of a meeting and hustled up there… only to miss him by about 30 seconds. […]
Who saw Magic Mike this weekend? Oh come on, you were all thinking it. I wouldn’t count on the dance moves, though. You’ve seen how often this Mike falls down. No, really. Oh well. We are sitting, waiting, wishing for news about Mike’s contract. The Capitals made a qualifying offer on his $5 million current […]
I know you’ve gone two weeks without Mikey Monday and frankly, there’s nothing I can do about it. A certain person needs to get cowboy-ed up at Stampede or something (anything!), because I’m sailing off the edge of the internet here. Luckily, reader Emily Miller delivered this just in time for Monday: Remember on “Caps Cribs” when […]
Now that it’s June, we might as well start talking about the elephant in the room: will the Caps re-sign Mike Green this summer? Or, more accurately, does anyone want to see my meltdown if they don’t? Before I put my head in an oven like Kate Winslet in The Holiday, please read this hilarious […]
Ever think you could watch a good-looking guy just do nothing all day? TA DA! Since we missed Memorial Day Mikey Monday yesterday, the lovely Katie Howell sent us this workout video. I have to do these planks endlessly for Tough Mudder training, so I should clearly be going to Mike’s gym. He doesn’t look […]
Lying dead on the floor in front of my TV was not an ideal Saturday night, but at least I wasn’t the only one. I won’t get down on the Caps for their game seven performance because it’s not what I want to remember all summer. This year, I watched more hockey than ever. I […]
Last night’s Caps/Rangers Game 6 was officially the most fun I’ve ever had at a hockey game. Maybe it was the Jeff Schultz Fan Club in front of us at warm-ups – hey, there really is someone for everyone. Maybe it was the “Let’s Let Karl’s Dogs Out” sign or the Flo Rida dance party. […]
Most girls will tell you there are few situations in life that cannot be explained by a scene from The Princess Bride. After the Caps’ loss to the Rangers last night, I feel Mostly Dead. Tortured. Gutted. But if you lean close enough, you might hear me whisper: In case you missed it (what on […]
The only reasons to be awake at 7 AM on a Saturday are you’re 1) still up from the night before or 2) buying playoff hockey tickets. I woke Gator up with a text and we debated (read: I peer pressured her). Something was telling me to go. The Force was communicating. So we went. […]
It wasn’t quite 3 AM, but close… When John Carlson scores a goal, I get irrationally happy. When that goal is assisted by Karl Alzner, I yell, “Apples to Apples!” and jump around the room. Can we get this guy a clear mouth guard? Sadly iCarly’s goal was not enough as the Caps lost an epic triple-overtime […]
I wish you guys could have seen me last night. In a bar with twelve tables, eleven were filled with Bruins fans. My dad and I, in my Backstrom shirt, were at the other. The waiter didn’t bother to ask, he just kept the beers coming. When Joel Ward scored, I jumped out of my […]
So here we go. 7:30pm tonight. Washington Capitals vs. Boston Bruins. Battle of the Blog: Pants vs. Chuck – The Final Showdown. Remember back to your history class when they talked about the gun battle at the OK Corral? Tonight’s Bruins vs Caps game is going to be just like that. Only with hockey sticks […]
I was at the Universal Studios Orlando theme park today and in the Dr. Seuss store, I found this: Coincidence? Or the only explanation for this: Mike scored a goal yesterday, for the first time since October 22. I yelled something inappropriate while watching the game with my dad. He just laughed. It didn’t matter […]
Chuck and I are not talking about the Bruins/Caps series. At all. It’s actually working out, as we restrict ourselves to screaming at televisions and telling our problems to bartenders, strangers and anyone unlucky enough to gchat us. I have discovered a hatred for the Bruins that I never knew existed, and I can only […]
Now something to make you laugh – best email of the day. I might as well go home.
Remember when Harry Potter got so angry at Dudley that he made the glass disappear and unleashed a snake into a room full of kids? I wanted to disapparate the glass in the Verizon Center last night and let the fans go berserk. I have never been so worked up at a game. As the […]
I don’t hate fighting as much as some other people. What I dislike is hypocrisy. Philly has never made any apologies for who they are. What shocked me was Matt Cooke managed to stayed out of the fray. Pittsburgh needs to decide quickly if they are going to play as a team to stay in […]
That moment when the Washington Capitals my most consistent team… … and running hard like they really belong in this race. The Bruins and Capitals have played 144 minutes of hockey and scored a combined four goals. The Flyers/Penguins are averaging four goals per period in their series. Needless to say I’m a bit high […]
Last night was a heart breaker when the Caps lost in OT to Boston – I’m sure Ovi had this Nightmare: And Seidenberg tried to take Ovi out with this hit but he found that weebles wobble but they don’t fall down! If Ovi can knock Jagr into next year at the Olympics, you’ll have to try harder Siddy-bergy than […]
Welcome to the NHL Playoffs. Where all friendships are suspended and The Battle of the Blog really begins. The Bruins and Capitals begin their playoff series tonight. Chuck and I have called a time out on fifteen years of watching “So I Married an Axe Murderer” and 3 AM pizza deliveries. All those *N Sync concerts […]
