PENS WIN! So they had a two goal lead, let it get away and had to slog into double OT to take a 3-1 lead in the series. A win is a win is a win and last night… James Neal, you stud! Way to make up for a lack of production in a big way. […]
I love end of the year fan appreciation stuff like a love I good montage at the Oscars. It was Penguins “Shirts Off Our Backs” night last night. Down Dawn, they were wearing shirts underneath. Kris took his skates off, but still tucked his jersey into the back of his pants. Just to make sure […]
Last night’s hockey was uglier than Chris Pronger in a vintage Ducks sweater, so this morning I need something to pick me up: I don’t have to tell you how happy this makes me. Not just the shooting and the stickhandling, but Sid is skating pretty hard. Please please please… okay, I can’t say it. Just keep […]
Wait? Is that Sidney‘s head they are burning in effigy??? We don’t like that. Especially Pants. “Get your damn hands off him,” she says. The photo above accompanied a blog post entitled “GQ ranks Montreal Canadiens fans among the worst in sports”. The Habs fans, aka the Frostbitten Hooligans, ranked 11th on the list and […]
Sidney Crosby skated today. Did you hear that? CROSBY SKATED! (You should see me dancing.) To celebrate, NHL.com made two entries into the Most Underwhelming Content of All Time contest. First, the video of Crosby skating [video]: And this headline graphic. Somehow I don’t think this covers it: This return to the ice may have […]
One year ago today, everyone I know was on Twitter or Facebook talking about how great hockey is as the US and Canada faced off in the Olympic gold medal game. We could hear them cheering in our apartment complex, and it wasn’t the two Russian guys down the hall. My response: I have been […]
The long weekend is over, it’s back to work and you know what I feel like? Chuck loves it too: I tried to watch the Heritage Classic, but I couldn’t focus my eyes on the bizarre non-color of the Flames shorts. Is that taupe? Nude, maybe? If you’re going to commit to sweaters and socks […]
Dawn and I are going to our first Caps game tonight in San Jose. Dawn will be wearing the aforementioned Ovechtrick head-to-toe ensemble. And she’s bringing me Caps gear. I might even wear it. At the very least I have consented to a red & white hoodie (from BU, gotta keep some of my dignity). […]
I finally have to talk about Sid and his concussion. I’ve been avoiding it hoping he would turn up at practice one day, bringing unicorns and wrist shots and 22-game scoring streaks. I’d even take back the mustache. As the silence becomes deafening and the Penguins are dropping like flies, it’s time for a post. […]
I’m calling this Sunday’s showdown of Penguins vs Capitals NBC’s Fistfest-o-Rama 2011. Because with the punchfest the Penguins are on, I suspect it will continue well into Sunday. And I for one, can’t wait! I am even hoping that Mike Milbury will drop Piere Macguire during the first intermission so we won’t have to listen […]
If you don’t get the reference, you don’t know Jack so go ask your mama! I give you Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla – yes, that is his full, given name. And he owns it. He’s my squishy. Most call him Iggy, I call him Nomie, always have, always will but anyone who […]
I don’t want to be accused of not being an equal opportunity zennist. And I know there are a few of our friends here that also love Mikey. Since this is his first rodeo at the All Star Game AND he’s an alternate Captain, here’s YOUR moment of MIKEY Zen:
Um…? The Penguins had their annual Pens and Pins Charity Bowling event on 1/17 and either Malkin and Crosby have been seeing a faith healer or something is rotten in Pittsburg. Not to taint my love for all things Letang because he is still smokin’ hot as evidenced above but for realsies? This is one of the many reasons I can’t […]
The Caps had a great weekend! Nicky B. dropped his scoring drought-o-rama and Ovi has his 1oth career hat trick! Cheers all around! They held on to beat Toronto after the heart breaking loss last time when they were up 4-1. Holtby was in net and did an awesome job. Sorry kids but these two photos were just too awesome not […]
So the rumor mill has cranked back up again and supposedly Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff are back on the auction block even though, like a fat chick loves cup cakes – well let’s be honest we ALL LOVE those sweet delicious treats, Calgary keeps saying “No, No. No.” But media speculation is high as the trade deadline nears and those in the […]
Did Slewfoot Sid get his bell rung in the WC from Steckel or did he get it the next night during SCOREFEST 2011? That is the TOPIC THUNDER-GATE TODAY! Either way, the kid is down and out and snuggling with the Flower for a week and the Penguins have a big PR problem on their […]
Pick your side and step right up to snorefest, I mean, SCOREFEST 2011! It’s Slewfoot Sid verses stampeding Stamkos! One night only! Not really but it sounds good since they will be playing each other again but when you have two scoring machines like these two *ouch* my – fingers – cramping – sorry – Ovi – must- […]
The Pens have an All-Star reaction video up [Video]. It looks like the Grinch snuck in and cleared out their locker room. We can’t get 10 extra seconds to let Tanger talk? Bonus clip of him licking his lips while Sid talks – he could be thinking what I’m thinking. Apparently The Hat has not […]
Remember way back on November 15 when I posted my NHL All-Star Game starting lineup? Well 4 out of my 6 were just named All-Stars by the general fan voting! Once again, I control the Universe. Mikey was not on the list, but I’ll take Duncan Keith FTW! Also, Flower makes me a little, uh… […]
