Oh Carolina.

Last year was tough for the Carolina Hurricanes. EStaal was minus-257 (ish) on the season.  Intern Jeff Skinner had a concussion and was limited to 20 goals.  Cam Ward’s save percentage was 36th among goalies (down from 17th the year before).  They picked up a little after getting a new coach in Kirk Muller, but […]

Mikey Monday: Bye Sasha

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 […]

Your Moment of Zen.

What a baby face.  

New Season, New Hope!

This is what I’ve been up to (see below) in hopes of helping the Capitals win the Stanley cup – FINALLY! I was so excited when I read the big fall preview of THN issue that still puts the Capitals as winning the cup in 2012! With all their off-season re-tooling, high praise for GMGM and loyalty to BB […]

Small Hockey Hands & Other Stuff.

Pants mentioned small hands the other day and it reminded me of this brilliant SNL skit from a few years ago. Enjoy! http://www.hulu.com/embed/Ehx5rv4H2X8P37EooR3hWQ Also, I ran across this photo of Ovi and the girl hitching a ride looks like Chuck! Excuse me Chuck but that is MY MAN! I think you protest too much! And […]

Mikey Monday: This Again

I think we’ve posted this before but hey, it’s summer for some people and we’ve got a long way to go.  I CRY every time I watch this.  Then I laugh for half  an hour.  Then I go back, watch it again and think “Sasha is so pretty.”  (I mean REALLY.  Take away the early […]

And We Weren't Invited?

Thank God Ovi is back on twitter because it’s a goldmine but unfortunately I’ve been so busy I haven’t been on twitter in ages and migraines have left me sidelined lately (Paging Dr. Letang for bedside assistance please!). So Mr. Cherrie alerted me to a few nuggets which I traced to Ovi’s twitter! First up, his run […]

Happy Birthday Sasha Fierce – A Day Late, A Ruble Short!

But that doesn’t mean we don’t have bunches of sweet love for you! I scored first place in my fantasy Caps hockey for the month! I’ve never ever done that! And the trade deadline’s past and YOU’RE STILL A CAP! THANK MOTHER RUSSIA! I was totes sweatin’ that one. Instead GM GM gave you some […]

Say It Ain't So… Please! and Other News

Holy Whining Sidney Crosby! Mr. Cherrie gave me the shock of my life when I got home from work tonight tellingme he heard rumors of a trade between the Washington Capitals and the LA Kings. Pants can attest to the fact that I complain like Sid about the lack of defense on the Caps. The great, fabulous […]
