The One and Only turns 24 today. Somewhere in Nova Scotia, he’s as anxious to get back to us as we are to him. He’s been writing, but Mike Green keeps intercepting the mail (we never should have let him watch The Notebook). You can love Sid (me) or hate him (Dawn), but thanks to […]
While we are bored, sweltering and waiting for October, Marc-Andre Fleury has been in Africa. Well fine. I thought getting heat stroke at Hershey Park with Gator was an exciting event. You can watch the interview [link] and get the mad giggles from listening to him talk. Can you picture him in a pith helmet? […]
Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are UFA’s in 13/14 and 14/15 respectively? I was shocked by this – seeing that the golden goose and face of the NHL would be free to wander and check out other goods sooner rather than later. Ovi is locked and fully loaded with the Washington Capitals for 13 years […]
Oh Max. I cannot stay mad at you. I needed a day to cool off and now I just want to hug you and say everything will be okay, except for that hideous sweater you’ll have to wear. But your Christmas sweater was a good warm-up. If anyone could pull off nuclear orange, it’s you. […]
May you get Tim Horton’s and a huge free agent contract. Ggo out this weekend and celebrate. If you’re American enjoying July 4th, we suggest you blast some Bryan Adams, then find a Canadian and hug him.
Yesterday, seven-time All-Star (and former U of Maine Black Bear) Paul Kariya retired. Kariya had 402 goals and 989 points in 989 career games and played for 15 years. He probably could have played longer…were it not for that pesky little villain all hockey fans HATE…the concussion. Kariya didn’t play at all last season as he attempted […]
This is almost enough to make me see Mr. Popper’s Penguins. After I sat through The Dilemma just in case the in-game footage showed Toews (it doesn’t, don’t rent it).
I’m getting married on Saturday. Everyone is really excited. Chuck will be there. Just wait till the reception. It’s going to be epic.
God Love The Hockey News! It is so much better than Sports Castrated. THN has the best cartoons and really, isn’t that why we read things anyway? The pictures? Words just get in the way. Anyway, to even things out here since it’s been all Boston and Bears, I give you the best cartoon EVER […]
It’s official. Pants and Gator pricing out Caps season tickets for 2011-2012. Some people are excited: Some people are Crosby: I know, Sid. I know. Don’t get too mad yet, we probably can’t afford them.
How come no one told me or Dawn about this? There’s not much to tell really, but the idea of popping in a DVD and watching Sid giggle like a schoolgirl about his fight or see Mike’s Vespa skills, it’s almost enough to get us through the off-season. Lovejoy’s face, Rupper in his Christmas costume, […]
Sidney Crosby met with Dr. Michael Collins, the specialist who’s been monitoring his condition since he sustained a concussion in January, on Tuesday and is starting his summer program of off-ice workouts. Penguins General Manager Ray Shero said Crosby will be joined by his longtime personal trainer for the next 2-3 weeks as he works […]
But my spin class was full. Sid: That’s Pants’ bike. Bergy: She has to sit by Sid. TBG Drew: Why? Bergy: Because he borrowed her capris. Sid: After she stole Patty’s shoes. Bergy: Because Sid sings along, but Pants drowns him out. Sid: You sing too. Bergy: Only when we go downhill to Lady Gaga.
Hello? Yeah. It’s been while. Not much. How ’bout you? I’m not sure why I called. I guess I really just wanted to talk to you. I was thinking maybe later on, we could get together for a while. It’s been such a long time and I really do miss your smile. I’m not talking […]
This is all I have today. But what else do you need?
#1: Build the new WUYS home office Left to right: Geno, Sid, JStaaaaal, Ovi, Fidget. We know what you’re thinking. And we know Mikey loves Diet Coke.
I woke up this morning to find that yesterday did indeed happen. The worst 24 hours of my sports life have left me pretty devastated, but my coworker and fellow hockey fan Gator left this on my desk: Fortified on sugar and sympathy, I feel strong enough to write something. It’s been quite a year […]
Pants moved to the East Coast to offer some super secret special advanced therapy to Sidney Crosby. While it has been touted as highly effective and credited to his quick recovery, Sidney has become addicted. And quite honestly, who wouldn’t. Several other Penguins have signed up for the therapy and Pants is contemplating quitting her […]
It’s confirmed that Sidney Crosby will not ride the white zamboni onto the ice tonight for Game 7. I needed to see this in writing before I gave up the hope. That said, the Penguins are going to rock. I am getting really excited to speed home from yet another work event in time for […]
Last night watching the Pens game, I was all… Listen, Stamkos. I wanted you to have some luck. Not spend the whole 3rd period with your helmet off trying to convince us it’s okay if we have to see you for another round. We are impervious to your blond-ness. You didn’t even do anything last […]
