What's that you say?

There isn't much to post about nowadays. We are glad it's summer, but we already miss hockey. It's nine hundred degrees here in East TN and extremely humid. It's kinda miserable. The lake is calling our names.

We wish we could say that we have lots of fun things to post aboot this summer or that we're going to be on here every day keeping you all entertained, but I'm pretty sure that we are the only ones that read this, thus there's no use in trying to entertain people that don't exist. We leave on vacation in three weeks. We're going to Florida for a few days. It'll be our first beach vacation together. It's Guardian's first time on vacay with us. This should be interesting!

In case you missed it... the Pittsburgh Penguins finished up their hockey season... it was great... and, oh yeah, we won this:

I don't know much about hockey, but I'm pretty sure that's important, right?

We were a little disappointed with the NHL Awards. Seeing as it was our first time viewing them, we thought there would be a lot more about, ya know, the champions. Apparently not. We did get to see plenty of pics of this though:

Which is totally worth that whole hour and half of our lives that we'll never get back. I mean, seriously. Definitely worth it.

Hope you all have a great summer! We know we are going to!

Until next time... peace, love & hockey.

XOXOXO

Go Penguins!

Bring a Friend...

NHL Awards start in less than two hours!!! Grab a beer (or some cheesecake) and a friend (or two) and go watch!!!

Tonight we dedicate this post to our good friend Marshall who is serving overseas in Iraq. Marshall is on his second deployment in five years. He's been gone three months now and we miss him TONS! Marshall is a big hockey fan like us (or we like to think he is anyway) and he's been with us to a couple of games since he's been gone. We've incorporated "Marshall on a Stick" into our road travels and he's learning all about hockey. Actually, he only made it to one game. He was passed out in the backseat of the car for the second game (i.e. We forgot him, sorry Marshall. We're horrible friends.) Marshall's favorite player is Brooks Orpik (he just doesn't know it yet). If you are reading this, we want you all to know how much we appreciate our troops and we ask that you take the time to stop and say thanks to a soldier for all he or she does for us.

Anyway, we've decided since all of our players can't win an award, we'll give out our own awards.

So, here we go:

Best Ass: Sidney Crosby

Best Abs: Hal Gill

Best Eyes: Brooks Orpik

Best Looking Staal: Jordan Staal (although Enforcer and Slasher disagree, Guardian and I outvote them... and the other Staals aren't on this team, therefore, Jordan wins)

Best Hair: Kris Letang

Best Smile: Marc Andre Fleury

Best Pimp Hand: Max Talbot

Best Russian Defenseman: Sergei Gonchar

Best Nostrils: Tyler Kennedy

Best Skin: Ruslan Fedotenko

Best New Dad: Chris Kunitz

Best Stanley Cup Tattoo: Pascal Dupuis

Best Assistant Goalie: Rob Scuderi

Best Back-Up Goalie: Mathieu Garon

Best Player to Play in Only One Cup Finals Game in 2009: Petr Sykora

Favorite Harvard Grad: Craig Adams

Favorite Player From Deleware: Mark Eaton

Favorite Bad-Ass: Matt Cooke

Favorite MVP: Evgeni "Geno" Malkin

Favorite Old Guy: Bill Guerin

Best Rookie Coach: Dan Bylsma

Hottest Knight/Owner: Mario Lemieux

If you have any other suggestions, please let us know!

Until next time... peace, love & hockey.

XOXOXO

Do it? Did it.

Way to go Pens!

Bet Ya Didn't See That Coming...

So... things may be a little misspelled tonight... we've had to do our celebrating a night late (at which time we are also celebrating Guardian's 21st b-day). Not that we didn't pee our pants and scream endlessly last night, but we had things to do today and well, they needed to be done sober. :)

But we're done with that part! Celebratory celebrations now!



I don't know what to say. It's hard to put into words the things that we are feeling right now! We are sooo happy for our boys! The media, other teams, Detroit... they all had their doubts... they all thought the Penguins couldn't pull it off... but you know what, WE DID!!!



We need celebration music!

Turning on some O.C.M.S. - Wagon Wheel.

(Well, it's good for us. Ya'll can turn on some Queen, We Are The Champions, or whatever floats your boat. This is our thing.)

If I die in Raleigh at least I will die free.



You know what, we feel bad for Hossa... we really do (except Enforcer, she hopes he breaks his neck). I mean, seriously, what a jackass! But you know, he said it, had he not have taken the position with Detroit maybe we wouldn't have acquired the players that we did and thus, perhaps no Stanley Cup.



But you know what, we did win! And Hossa didn't. And it makes us happy just thinking about it! Nuff said.



We had the heart. We had the determination. We had the skill.



We also had:

Sid's butt. H.G.'s A-B's. Talbot's ax-man beard. Staal's gorgeous eyes. Letang's (well you know that hair does it for us). Fleury's smile. We had Geno dropping the F bomb occassionally. Orpik's crazy eyes. Scuderi's splits. Tank's killer shots. Kunitz had a million crazy hits. Matt Cooke's all around bad-ass-ness. Geurin's experience. Gonchar's leadership. And 100% determination from the rest of the team. What more could we ask for?



Anyway, we would love to go on and on, but I think the Jack is getting to Enforcer, and this Mountain Valley wine is starting to mess with my head. Guardian and Slasher left the conversation long ago and are on the verge of passing out. We shall talk more aboot our Stanley Cup win, but you'll have to wait till we get sobered up (which might take a week or two... ha ha... we kid, we kid).



We have an amazing summer to plan and there is nothing that we can't accomplish now! Looking forward to next season!



Until next time... peace, love & hockey!

XOXOXO

Let It Go...

I'm ranting today without the help of my co-writers... but it's okay, I think they'll understand.

There aren't too many things to be happy about after last night. We're here... we're alive... but we're not too freaking happy about the way things went down last night!

5-0

Yesh. That was the final score. How does that happen?

Yes, we could have played better. Yes, we took too many stupid penalties. Yes, the refs sucked. But it's like the whole universe was against us last night.

How can the universe hate penguins?!

That's like saying you hate cake and ice cream. What kind of person hates cake and ice cream?

I'm pretty sure Detroit's refs hate cake and ice cream.

And I'm pretty sure they hate the Penguins.

We played two AMAZING games in Pittsburgh!!!

AMAZING!

It's like that shit didn't even matter last night. It's like we weren't even the same team. We played well though, why didn't it look like we weren't?

Poor Malkin took three penalties on his own. Three! I've only been watching hockey for a short time but I'm pretty sure that's the most time I have ever seen him spend in the penalty box.

Sid had a lot of good shots, but apparently Detroit has some sort of invisible puck deflector on their goals that only allows shots from their players to go in. Seriously. It's a conspiracy.

Poor Marc Andre. We won't even go there. My heart aches for him. Not seeing him smile really breaks my heart. I can't stand to see him sad. He needs a hug. He'll rebound though. I'm sure he's already forgot about it.

Some things that went down....

They scored... (5 times to be exact). We didn't.

They had, like, two penalties. We had... nine.

They had those extra three players in the striped shirts.

Hossa still didn't score. Neither did Datsyuk. (Hate that for them).

So Detroit's up one game in the series. It's not a problem. This shit is going back to Pittsburgh and our Penguins have their fans behind them.

We are the better team. We have the heart. We have the talent.

We got this. We're taking the Cup this year. We're going to do it.

Let's Go Pens.

Until next time... peace, love & hockey.

XOXOXO

Brooks Orpik is a Bad, Bad Man

Yes... Brooks Orpik is a bad, bad man. We said it! What?!

Malkin is our effin hero! If you didn't see that fight in Game 2, you are not really a Penguins fan and we don't know why you're here! Enforcer says "it made my heart warm and fuzzy". We agree and we totally love some warm and fuzzies and those other feelings you sometimes get from watching the Penguins!

We agree with other lady hockey bloggers who say Kris Letang's hair gives them the "other feelings" as mentioned in the statement above! It does it for us too!

Does anyone else feel that Fedotenko and Scuderi are under appreciated? Because we sure as heck do! Fedotenko has been a bright shining light in the playoffs and we would not be where we are without him! Shine on Fedotenko, shine on! As for Scuderi, he and Hal Gill are two of the best defensemen we have seen in this league! Hal Gill's abs should be in a league of their own! Trust us, we know... we've seen them in person! According to Guardian, they could crush an army!

Tyler Kennedy in a pair of underarmour shorts could do some harm too! We love it! We want to see more!

Did we mention Brooks Orpik is a bad, bad man!?

Can someone hit Ericsson in the side already? Who comes back from emergency surgery that quickly? It wouldn't take that much to take him back out right? Just sayin'.

As much as we would like to tie Marc Andre to some things, we think it would be good to just tie him to the net every once in a while and just let the boys shoot the pucks at him for not staying in his home! We love him, but he makes us nervous sometimes!

In case you haven't seen Sidney Crosby's butt, you should google it. I'm sure you'll find something that shows its loveliness. Wait... we found it for you! :)

Have we mentioned H.G.'s A-B's tonight? Oh yeah, just once. They need more recognition than that though, so here we are mentioning them again. We've seen them in person... they're better than David Beckham's. No shit. We aren't kidding.

We'd like some cheesecake. Is it time for that yet?!

Brooks Orpik is a bad, bad man!!!

And last, but not least... have we mentioned that Evgeni Malkin is the best Russian in the world (along with Gonchar, of course)? I mean, did you see that fight? You didn't? You need to youtube it... seriously! It wasn't like Semin playing the bongos on Marc Staal (whom we are kinda fond of, because, I mean seriously, we love the whole fam damily). Malkin actually threw punches! We love it. We love him!

Until next time... Peace, Love & Hockey
