‘Nuff said.
2009 Eastern Conference Champs!
‘20090506-IMG_2634’ courtesy of ‘avanluven’ And well-deserved. Back in February, who would’ve thought this Penguin team would be repeat contenders for the Stanley Cup? I’ll admit I had my doubts, but I was pretty confident the Penguins would go far. And far they did. Not bad for a team whose mascot is a flightless bird.
Storm Warning
‘On The Ice’ courtesy of ‘brookeBAMF’ I really, really wanted to do up a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals between the sixth seed Carolina Hurricanes and those pesky upstart fourth-seeded Penguins. Especially since Game 1 opens tonight at the Igloo. Alas, I don’t have the time. I realize many people don’t know the extent …
Cry Me (Three) Rivers, Teddy…
Caps owner – and, coincidentally, the single person in the Caps organization I do not like – Ted Leonsis bitched today in his blog about the back-to-back games between Game 4 (tonight in Pittsburgh) and Game 5 (tomorrow in DC). “It is a shame that both teams will have to play back to back games …
Eastern Conference Semifinals: Capitals vs. Penguins
‘Ovechkin and Malkin, Friends at Last, Friends at Last’ courtesy of ‘clydeorama’ [Note: Normally I don’t cross-post from my stuff at WeLoveDC. But I’m in a bind today, writing-wise, and while I’d like to have a more Penguins-centric and snarky article dissing the Caps, I’m going to instead opt to just reprint my article from …
Hockey Nirvana
‘Ovechkin and Crosby – New Best Friends Forever’ courtesy of ‘clydeorama’ It’s official: Penguins and Capitals in Round 2. I’ll have more to say on this later in the week, but suffice that right now? I AM STOKED. This is the playoff series I’ve always loved and was hoping for this year. Even if it …
Eastern Quarterfinals 2009: Flyers vs. Penguins
Fleury Slows it Down, courtesy of clydeorama Tonight, the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin. Tonight, the real NHL season kicks off. Tonight, the Penguins collide with the Flyers. A battle for Pennslyvania. And probably the most intense matchup in the entirety of the first round, East or West. Looking at the stat sheets, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia …
Emergency Measures
Petr tying his pants, courtesy of ztil301 Don’t ask me about the news regarding Therrien’s firing on Sunday; I’m not quite sure it was the right thing to do. The Penguins have been in this miasmic free-fall mode since December, though argueably you could make the case it started when Sergei Gonchar whacked his shoulder …
Interview News
For those not interested in my gaming news, I’ve got you covered… Lately at WeLoveDC, I’ve been doing some excellent interviews with some pretty cool people. First up was Carrie Milbank from the Hockey Show on NHL.com. She’s pretty awesome, though I had to keep the questions related to the Caps. That was hard to …
More News…
I was blessed to have the opportunity to interview Carrie Milbank for our WLDC site. She’s pretty awesome, even if she’s a secret Caps fan. (I kid – she’s like me in the sense that she likes any good hockey game, regardless of who’s playing. Except when it’s the Rangers – I draw the line …
