Player Resolutions Broken By 12:01 Tonight

It's New Years Eve and almost everyone decides to make a resolution that they will break in about a week. We thought that if NHL players made resolutions then maybe they would break them just as easily as us mortals.



Tyler Kennedy - Not to make out with random girls in bars

Kyle Wellwood - Let the leftover Christmas cookies alone

Patrick Kane - To stop being so stingy with money

Eric Tangradi - Not to get ejected from a game

Mike Richards - To stop touching Jeff Carter inappropriately

Derek Roy - Not hitting on girls that look like men at Buffalo bars

Dan Boyle - To stop hating on fat people

Matt Duchene - Will stop referring to Joe Sakic as "my best friend Joe Sakic"

Joe Thornton - Put Slappy the Christmas Elf back in his box

Mike Green - Will learn how to play defense and stop getting flower tattoos

Marian Hossa - Will stop being such a primadonna

(If you have any others, let us know. These were the ones that we thought were pretty funny.)

Festivus Taken Too Far

How do they have time to do this? It's so strange, it's funny.

And apparently Drew Stafford has too much time on his hands.

Hottie Of The Week



Patrick Kane



Every game he scores. We were at two of them and he is everywhere. No wonder everyone has a Patrick Kane jersey in Chicago.

The Ryan Malone Wheaties Award



Jordan Staal



Um, bitch takes a puck to the face and returns to the game. Ridiculous, just ridiculous. We always knew that farm boys were strong but seriously? What a man.

Santa Claus



Because he didn't put Sidney Crosby under the tree with a startegically placed bow for Henrik and a Mike Green Canada jersey for Noodles. What a disappointment.

Sunday Funday Goodies

For fun, we Google Image Searched 'Patrick Kane Halloween'. Try it, it's hilarious.

Here are some pictures to keep you entertained.













And we thought that this ad for 'Psych' was pretty awesome as well.



We shall have a half-decent recap of sorts of our trip on Tuesday. And maybe even some picture...you never know how adventurous we feel.

For The Day After Christmas Letdown

Today is the start of the World Junior Championships.


We know that this is from last years tournament but we love it anyway. It's so perfect and funny.

And this is the Top 10 WJC Moments

Date Night Friday: Christmas Edition

Today's date is the pick your own kind. We figured that since it is Christmas, everyone would want someone different under their tree.

Noodles couldn't decide between about seven of her husbands and Henrik kept crossing the names out and picking someone new. We are severly indecisive.

But decisions were eventually made...

Henrik picked Patrick Sharp.

And she would bake Christmas cut-out cookies with him except that Patrick would eat all of the cookies before they even cooled then he would ask what was for dessert.

Noodles picked Shea Weber.

And they woke up around 2pm, made egg whites and then watched the Family Guy marathon on television. They're pretty lazy.


So, if you could have any player to have in your Christmas stocking who would it be?

And what would you do on your date? Remember, it has to be Christmas-themed.

Just A Little Personal Note

Happy Holidays to everyone who reads this blog!

Now, onto to more serious matters.

Lately we have been extremely busy with work and school so sometimes this blog is lacking in up to date information so we just want to apologize for that.

The next couple of posts will be automatically generated and pre-posted because we are going out of town for the weekend.

We are travelling to Nashville then to Chicago. We are going to the home-and-home series between the Predators and the Hawks.

If you are from either area and want to suggest we do something or if you are going to be at the game, then let us know either through comments or our email. We love suggestions.

Anyway, hope everyone has a great holiday and enjoys the next few posts. Awards Monday will go on as scheduled so don't worry.

This made us laugh when we were googling Seen Stamkos yesterday. Even Googlez knows that he has issues with his name.

Hottie Of The Week




Steve Stamkos



Is anyone else surprised that he has 21 goals? We just keep thinking that it's a mistake but he pretty much scores every game. It's scary.

First time we saw it, we thought that it was an advertisement for erectile disfunction. Tricky, tricky Star Trek.

The Ryan Malone Wheaties Award



The Canadian junior boys cut from this year's WJC Team.

That has to be one of the most awful feelings in the world, to be woken up at six in the morning to be told that you won't be doing something that you worked so hard for. And the only people that care are the media.

Why You Should Never Go To Ottawa

(We've been there and we liked it but we couldn't resist the dramatic title.)

The first reason is the food. The Buffalo Sabres ate at a restaurant before their game against the Senators and some of them got food poisoning.

The second reason is your stuff will catch on fire. The Minnesota Wild's equipment van caught on fire in the Scotiabank loading dock and most of their sticks, jerseys and gear was destroyed. Wow.

And the third is that you will be trade-bait. A writer for The Hockey News is proposing a trade between the Senators and the Flames, Spezza for Phaneuf straight up.

So if you ever go to Ottawa, watch your back...

What Happens On The Date

You get a phone call from a number that you scrubbed off your hand a couple nights before. Ryan asks if you remember him and you answer in the affirmative because all you can really remember is blone curly hair and a missing tooth. He asks if you want to go on a date and you say, "Why not?" He picks you up an hour later with a cooler and a huge beach towel. You drive a little bit until you're at the beach. He picks a spot that is close to the water yet still far enough away to give you some time before the tide picks up.

Ryan spreads the towel out and sets up the cooler next to yout guys. Then he pulls out the sunblock and asks you to put it on his tattoos. You do it while he tells you tales of the pranks that they pull in the Lightning locker room. The two of you go swimming after the sunblock is on and he holds you up so the waves can't knock you over. Back on the towel, Ryan pulls out two beers and ham salad sandwiches.

After a day of swimming and talking, Ryan and you finally make it back to your house. In the car, he leans over and brushes some sand off your forehead then he asks if he can take you out again.


Was It A Satisfactory Date?

Do you let Ryan Malone take you out on another date?

Was it a fun date? Did you like the ham salad sandwiches?


As usual, it's up to you.
