This overtime, come-from-behind, shootout nonsense is taking years off my life. The Capitals rallied from a 0-3 deficit to beat the NY Islanders in a shootout last night. Foxy Friday John Tavares had 2 G + 1 in the shootout, and so did Ovi. OVI! I don’t like you but I love you and that’s […]
Were you saying something? Like Viktor Stalberg hurt his shoulder last night, went to the locker room, then came back? That he’s not on the ice at practice this morning? Sorry, I no longer listen to injury reports. And I can’t hear you over the… Larger version of this photo, probably NSFW (unless you work […]
I have been ignoring this, hoping it will go away. No such luck. Jonathan Toews will miss his 5th straight game today. His “upper body” injury is believed to be related to a concussion [link], and rumor has it he hid the symptoms for a while. I can believe that, because you know he’s pissed. […]
The Detroit Red Wings set the NHL consecutive home game win record last night with 21 straight, edging out two teams (1929-30 Bruins and1975-76 Fyers) to claim the crown. Detroit also holds the record for consecutive road wins (12) [link]. Well la dee freakin’ dah. The Wings have only 3 home losses this season, the […]
Well the Blackhawks cannot win a road game and somebody’s feeling feisty. Joey’s jealous because Chuck never made him a Foxy Friday. Jon was rubbing it in, so Ryane Clowe came over to represent. Tazer has two career fights, and he lost them both. He’s a beast but I’m going to say that fighting Jumbo […]
In honor of making it halfway through this week, here are five things that I love about today. 1. James Neal’s career-high 28th goal, and there are still 28 games left to play. (Bonus: Awkwardly close-up post-game interview video.) 2. Steven Stamkos has scored against every NHL team [video]. And he got a League-leading 35th […]
The Blackhawks kick off a nine game road trip in Vancouver tonight and guess who’s back? No big deal. Jonathan Toews suffered an injury to his left wrist on Jan. 21 vs. Nashville, then missed one game and the All-Star Weekend festivities. Maybe he was just worried about getting picked so late again. Patrick Sharp, […]
Thank Heaven for something to save me from last night’s Penguins game. In a blatant attempt to distract, Captain Frankentoews challenged himself to see how many stitched cuts one can have on the left side of the face. [video] He got a 2-for-1 last night with a puck to the helmet that cut his forehead: But […]
(Sorry, I tried not to make a Fresh Prince reference. My hands would not obey.) The last time the Blackhawks played in Philly… And they’ve been gearing up for their return: Toews also had a smile on his face when asked about going back to Philly for the first time. Turns out he purchased replays […]
Chicago’s Dan Carcillo has been suspended 7 games for boarding Edmonton’s Tom Gilbert [link]. Gilbert missed the Oiler’s next game and is listed as day-to-day. Carcillo is a repeat offender (and a goon) – he was suspended 2 games for this hit on Carolina’s Pittkanen on 10/28. Guest Starring Rob Blake!! Calgary’s Rene Bourque got a […]
How was everyone’s Christmas? We couldn’t post this last week or it would have spoiled the surprised that we bought Jonathan Toews a lifetime supply of those red shirts for Christmas. Now that presents are open and you’re either home with your crazy family or at work with nothing to do, enjoy Joey the Junior […]
Christmas, I love you. You are the perfect excuse for madcap hilarity from NHL teams featuring the only singing on Earth that is confirmed worse than mine (thanks Marian Hossa). Oh my God, it goes on forever! This is the kind of stuff Gator and I come up with during intermissions at Caps games. Get […]
Someone we know once posted this to Facebook: Safe to say that hashtag also applies to: Biebs skated with the Leafs [link] in a track suit because they didn’t have any Youth Medium hockey gear laying around. Look at his pants – I bet they’re rolled at the waist too. Phaneuf is all, “You said Disney princesses! […]
So… last night the Pens’ Deryk Engelland mowed down Chicago’s Marcus Kruger with a questionably high hit. Personally, I’m going with SHANABANNED for this one. Eggo does sort of leave his feet and he’s definitely above shoulder height. Kruger’s head is down, but it goes down and stay down before Eggo lines him up. Engelland […]
I don’t know where the last month has gone and I have completely neglected to put up this guest post by the lovely Jessica W! Since @amandalitty is going to her first ever NHL game tomorrow – Blackhawks vs. Penguins (way to peak too soon!) – here’s a play-by-play of Jess getting to see her beloved […]
It’s not too early to nominate Jonathan Toews for the Hart Trophy. The Blackhawks were down 3-0 to Phoenix last night, early in the second period. Tazer scored twice in seven minutes then set Kaner up a few minutes later for a game-tying goal that would hold into an eventual shootout loss. It was a BAMF […]
Mike Green didn’t make the trip to Winnipeg with the Caps, but he did take his sprained ankle to the Kid Rock show in DC last night. He wore his only favorite sweater (seriously, he wears this more than Toews wears that suit) and that hat that makes me want to throw snowballs. Money was […]
Chuck here… You know what time it is… Foxy Swedish Hockey Player Time. Two weeks in a row with the Swedish guys. Totally un-intentional but hey, we work with what we got. There are oh so many reasons why #25 deserves this honor (the use of the letter Å definitely being one of them) but here are […]
Hahaha, I thought this was the commercial that plays before the video starts. But it is the video! Patrick Kane Discover Card commercial [link] Patrick, you got drunk and gave it to us last night. Great party though. Too bad you fell asleep. All that fun and only Toews to hang out with… he may […]
Tyler Kennedy tweeted this picture of himself & JStaal as Harry and Lloyd from Dumber & Dumber. They’re a little late to the party – Toews & Burish rocked this one in ’09. But I have to say that the Pens boys upped the ante – hats + JStaal’s wig = infinitely more frightening committed. […]
