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, […]
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 […]
With friends like these, who needs enemies? Sid and Ovi will be featured in the January issue of Vanity Fair. They may be dressed like waiters but it doesn’t take much to get us all riled up. NHL.com posted this behind-the-scenes video of the photoshoot. There’s also this teaser blog from Vanity Fair and this […]

I hate to admit that he looks kinda pimp in that sweatshirt. Not to fear – he takes his shirt off in the video. […]
The NHL debuted the first Winter Classic ’11 commercial during Sunday Night Football [Video]. To quote the greatest movie of all time: “I know you can be overwhelmed, and I know you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?” “I think you can in Europe.” – 10 Things I Hate About You […]
Pack your mittens and get excited – HBO ran a 12 minute preview for 24/7 Road to the Winter Classic. It’s Pants vs. Dawn in the freezing cold at an hour when no one should be awake on January 1. As MAX TALBOT says, “Bring it on.” (I think Max would be flattered to see […]
The Penguins unveiled their Winter Classic jerseys today. If you live out West, the game is on at 10 AM. That’s technically still New Year’s Eve in my book, but frankly what a way to ring it in! Crosby, Staal, Letang, Talbot, Flower (hopefully) and throw in some Mike Green… I can wake up for […]
I am so cranky! First I couldn’t wait for pre-season and now I’m already tired of it. Split-squad games, pretending I care who is reassigned… boring. The sound of skates on ice is lovely, but I’m ready for stuff to count. In anticipation of that, today’s news items are things I think will actually matter […]
