NHL.com Headlines: Uh, What?

Sometimes it's hard to ignore the ridiculous sayings and puns that we see every day on NHL.com. But today is one of those days when every headline made us go 'WTF? Who thought that was funny?'

Something like this,

cannot be ignored just for it's sheer ridiculousness.


And then you've got this

Uh, okay.


This one is funny because of the faces. Like, why would you pick this picture to represent a game that is currently going on?

Wasn't there something better they could have picked?


Lastly, we found this ad on the New Jersey Devils site

And we kinda actually like it because it's the good kind of pun.

Date Night Friday: Date Fail (Part Deux)

We have a lot of ideas but one of our best one was Date Fail because everyone's been through one. Or if you're like Noodles, you've been through more than one.

Anyway, how many times have you been out with a guy and everything seemed like it would be okay but then something happened and it turned into a disaster?

That's why we created Date Fails.

-&-

Daniel Carcillo

He would ask if your Dad was proud of you...


Erik Gudbranson

You realize that he is actually the Jolly Green Giant in Terminator skin and that's when the date ends.


Ryan Nugent-Hopkins

He has to legally bring a guardian on the date so say hello to Mr. Horcoff.


Brian Elliott

The date ends early because you have one too many cocktails and keep asking him if his real name is Billy and if he likes to dance.


Claude Giroux

He keeps getting these creepy text messages from someone named Danny that say things like 'I can see you with that girl' and 'Why did you leave me?'.


Steve Montador

*stares* "Hi." And that's it, for the whole date.


Kris Letang

Every time he flips his hair, there is a sigh of longing from the peanut gallery of men that follow him around.


Dave Bolland

He antagonizes you the whole date until you punch him in the nose and then you get taken to the penalty box or jail...


Max Talbot

At the strip club he takes you to, he gets super drunk and keeps shushing you every time you say anything.


Adam McQuaid

His mullet eats your food. And the waiter. And attempts to eat you but you're running down the street by then.

Sometimes these are too easy.

And it's fun to exaggerate a player's personality or character flaw for these fails.

Would you still date any or all of these guys with their failed dates? Let us know either in the comments or the poll.

Also, do you have any date fails you think would happen?

Decision Time

A lot of the rookies are reaching the nine-game point and teams have to make a decision to either keep him or send him back to Juniors.

The Oilers are opting to keep the Nuge which has us happy-dancing in our seats for the Oilers and we get to see him grow into his lady-face. It will happen. LeTude called it when she said Taylor Hall would grow into his horse-face.

They also play together really, really well. Along with Jordan Eberle.



Also, in a not a surprise at all move, the Avalanche are keeping Gabriel Landeskog. One, they need him. Two, he's been ridiculously awesome for the team.


And the Flyers are keeping Sean Couturier which makes us alternately happy (because he's cute) and yet frustrated because now we have to learn how to spell his name correctly.

He's been impressive for the Flyers and with younger Scheen out for an extended period of time with a broken foot, it's a good decision.


There isn't an article about it that we've seen but it looks like Adam Larsson will be staying with the Devils this season. Yay, another Swede!


And the Kings have Slava Voynov on the backend who scored his first NHL goal tonight along with another one in the Kings win over the Stars. He's been pretty good for them and might stay with them for a while.

Or until Drew Doughty returns.


Other News:

- Ryan Whitney is injured again. This is getting to be just ridiculous. Ridiculous. He sprained his knee in the Oilers win against the Canucks and will be out for THREE WEEKS.

Really? What a jerk.


- This fight last night between Brad Marchand and PK Subban was definitely a great highlight.

It's like two kids play-fighting, love it.


- Kyle Turris has asked the Phoenix Coyotes for a trade. There's a lot of bad blood between Turris and the Coyotes brass. Really weird.


- There is talk to bring AHL teams to the West coast so that Western teams will have their prospects closer and they do not have to travel for hours and hours after a sudden or emergency call-up.


- The Penguins will be hosting the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Can you hear us screaming with joy? Cause we totally are. We've been up on this since the summer but it was officially announced yesterday.

Top Ten: Underrated Hotties

Everyone we know has that one player that they talk about all the time and they insist that he's hot and then one day you take a look at him and it's like 'WHOA YES, HE'S A STONE COLD HOTTIE!!!' or something like that.

We know we do it all the time.

Some are guys who you will say, "Hey, he's not underrated, I like him" but that's the point of this post. These are the guys that we obsess over and other people are like, "What, why?" Everyone has their own taste.

Here is our top ten but you are more than welcome to comment and let us know who you think is an underrated hottie in your book.


Top Ten: Underrated Hotties


10. Linus Omark - Edmonton Oilers


We asked Macke who she would put on this list and she yelled through text message, 'LINUS OMARK' and we actually felt bad for not thinking of him in the first place. He is Swedish, has amazing hair and can score goals not just in the shootout.


09. James Neal - Pittsburgh Penguins


If you're a Stars or Pens fan, you know this bitch and you really love him. He's a goal-scoring machine right now and it's a beautiful thing. How can you not love him and his ginger beard? It's almost like you have to.


08. Zach Bogosian - Winnipeg Jets


Who, you say? What do you mean you don't know who this biotch is? Get up on the names and faces, women. We think every girl should be in love with his eyebrows alone. Come on, look at that FACE!


07. Brandon Sutter - Carolina Hurricanes


He has definitely grown into his looks which is a great thing. Noodles called it when he was in the Super Series like a million years ago. Also, we don't believe he's a Sutter, he's too pretty to be the spawn of Brent Sutter.


06. John Tavares and Josh Bailey - New York Islanders



Two good-looking centers on one team? How dare they flaunt this great hair and wonderful cheekbones? Why aren't we Islanders fans by now? Those lucky bastards. No wonder we enjoy Penguins/Islanders games so much...


05. Colin Wilson and Nick Spaling - Nashville Predators



Honestly, the Predators are on the Hottie Watch List right now. SO MANY up and coming hotties on this team. We're excited. And you should be too. The Preds are mired in some kind of funk right now but they will pull through and if not, at least they're good-looking.


04. Marc-Andre Gragnani - Buffalo Sabres


He came up last season for the Sabres brief playoff run and has stuck around. But that isn't what's important to us. We're into the looks, duh. He's French-Canadian, has a nice smile and plays defense. Yes, please.


03. Alec Martinez - Los Angeles Kings


Hello, hottie. We knew he existed but never really knew what he looked like until we did the One-A-Days last season and that was the end of us not knowing about him. Now he gets the creepy fan-mail like all the rest of them.


02. Marco Scandella - Minnesota Wild


If you're like us then you rarely watch the Wild, it happens and we apologize. But then we kept hearing his name and then we looked him up and BAM! we were pregnant...just kidding.


01. Gregory Campbell - Boston Bruins


Jesus take the wheel and the keys and the entire dealership. He's like ridiculously good-looking. Can we gift-wrap him and put him under the Christmas tree?

Put Him In There, Too!

This is why we sing the praises of YouTube all day and every day...



We find stuff like this.

And this, whatever the hell this is

Probably made by some angry Flyers fan...we kid, we kid.

Oh, and we found this


It's a deep, dark hole when we start down this path of YouTube video leading to another YouTube video.

See? This is what happens to us on YouTube


They're throwing muffins, LOL.

Fantasy Hockey Update: Week Three

(This week, due to our vacation, the posts have been pre-done so this picture was taken on Sunday morning.)

Hello fellow hockey pool junkies.

How do you think you did last week?

It's a little further into the season so some teams and players are finally finding their groove which is helping settle this up and down fantasy points.

Let's check it out...



Top Five:

1. TurboShelly
2. Mr. Bananagrabber
3. Wet Island Pool Boys
4. Evgenia
5. CheezyChiliCheezs


It looks like TurboShelly has taken the lead with the help from misconducts and fights from Brandon Dubinsky and Zdeno Chara.

And Evgenia has the three shutouts from Jonathan Quick that has rocketed her to fourth place. Pretty nice when you pick the right goalie.

Also, Mike Green had a huge night against the Detroit Red Wings. Actually, the entirety of the Washington Capitals had a huge night on Saturday.

That helped quite a few jumps in the standings.


Anyway, good luck and hope everyone has another good week!

Awards Monday: Week Three

Hottie of the Week


Hal Gill, Joe Thornton and Nicklas Lidstrom


Halbert and Jumbo made it to their 1,000 games. That is quite an accomplishment.

And the Perfect Human reached 1,500. What a man.

The Ryan Malone Wheaties Award


Henrik Lundqvist


A forty-save shutout against the Western Conference Champs? That's pretty amazing. Six consecutive starts? Or course. He's a beast.
