In-flight high-speed internet on the way | Home Pittsburgh Penguins: BMW Commercial (D.C. show’s you how it’s done) By Dagger | January 24, 2008 Take a look at this folks. May be the last time you see 4 healthy Penguins in a room together at one time. Actually, two of these guys are battling through injury right now. Maybe this is some curse….anybody who touches these BMW keys is cursed with an injury bug. Whelp, I guess Geno and Gonchar are next, eh? Thanks to Dr.Boni on the board at Letsgopens.com for bringing this to the rest of the world. May be the cheesiest commercial of all time. Every city has awful professional athletes ...

Not since the Great One's appearance on Saturday Night Live all those years ago has there been such striking evidence that hockey is indeed much easier than acting. Make sure to watch more than once. (Found via Calgarypuck.com)

These Guys Put Denzel Washington To Shame
Published 1/27/2008 by Dave Wannstache at Doubt About It
So I know this video has made the rounds in a lot of blogs by now. I first saw it on Deadspin yesterday, and it's been on The PensBlog as well. But if you've seen it already, I don't think you'll mind seeing it again. It's that good. For those who haven't seen it, well, you're in for a treat. It's a commercial for a local Pittsburgh auto dealer featuring superb acting by Colby Armstrong, Maxime Talbot, Sergei Gonchar, and Evgeni Malkin. I mean, these are Oscar-worthy performances. Seriously, can anyone decipher what Gonchar is saying at the end? I think I hear "Geno", but I cannot make out the other part. Also, the only ...

Super Bowl XLII - Day 1

Morning 1 in Arizona, and it appears they are still going to continue on with the Super Bowl despite the rain of Sunday. It absolutely poured all day long. Try not to cry for me. This Just In: Super Bowl Tickets will be expensive this year … Die-hard Giants and Patriots fan are paying record prices to scalpers for tickets to this year's Super Bowl in Glendale, Ariz., and the total dollar volume of resold seats could be the biggest ever, according to ticketing firms. Asking prices for the Feb. 3 game range from $2,450 to $19,446 at StubHub, a unit of eBay Inc. and the biggest of the ...

And those were the takes they USED!

Pretty sure Ritch is still honeymooning and (let's hope) too busy to blog before they get back, so I'll just continue to deliver the good stuff in his stead (clip starts after about 10 seconds of black): OK, observations: 1) Not only is Colby Armstrong the best actor of the four Penguins in the spot, he has a face made for Hollywood. Attention, casting agents: looking for a cross between Conan O'Brien and Adrien Brody? Contact Ray Shero for availability. 2) Correct me if I'm wrong (and please, God, let me be wrong) but was Talbot doing a McLovin impression? Judd Apatow, what ...

No Mensa Candidates in Pittsburgh

In case you haven't seen it already, I thought I'd post a local Pittsburgh car ad featuring Colby Armstrong , noted card sharp Maxime Talbot , Sergei Gonchar and Evgeni Malkin (who has so little personality and/or command of the English language that he can't even get a speaking part) for its sheer unintentional comedic brilliance. Enjoy.

I can't believe I forgot to mention this next item... Friend of The Show Vanessa D. wrote me to ask a question. "I wanted to ask if you just didn’t see the “commercial” on FSN or were you so over come with laughter that you were physically unable to write? Just wondering." WHOOPS! I didn't write it down in my recap notes because I thought I would definitely remember to include it, but I completely dropped the ball and forgot. This commercial for a Pittsburgh area car dealership starring Colby Armstrong, Maxime Talbot, Sergei Gonchar, and Evgeni Malkin aired during last night's game (keep watching - the commercial begins after ...

Mike's Miscellany™ Vol. II
Published 2/5/2008 by Mike at MHH <milehighhockey@yahoo.com> at Mile High Hockey: Front Page Posts
It's everybody's favorite alliteration, Mike's Miscellany™!  Here's some of the random thoughts that have flittered through my top 3% brain in recent solar cycles. Happy Fat Tuesday!  Here's what I'm currently scarfing...   As a fellow uni-nerd, like my brethren Joe and DD, one of my biggest pet peeves is logo creep.  Like the giant RBK logo in the contrasting color block on the back of the Avs unis.  RBK has a real problem with it, but nobody can match the sheer volume of logo creep churned out by Nike.  That's why, when I saw this story, a small part of me smiled.

Dear Penguins,

Keep the randomness coming - I'm lovin' it: Remember when Kerri Russell from the show "Felicity" cut her hair short and the ratings for that season went down the tubes? Some things just make a person. Like Don Cherry and the ridiculous suits or Marc Andre Fleury and the yellow pads. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette is reporting that shortly after MAF got injured, an Ottawa doctor sent him a letter explaining how the yellow pads weren't such a good idea. This week Fluery was practicing with the white pads, trying to break them in. Ten bucks says he switches back after his first loss in the white ones. If ...

Battle Of The Crappy Commercials
Published 2/21/2008 by Loser Chris at Taking One For The Team
The Kings and Penguins may be at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to on-ice performance, but they are running neck and neck for the "Worst Commercial Ever" Championship. The A&L Motors commercial starring Penguins Max Talbot, Colby Armstrong, Sergei Gonchar, and Evgeni Malkin has taken on near legendary status in some circles. Well Kings players Jack Johnson, Dustin Brown, and Anze Kopitar have answered the challenge and taken things to a whole new level. See for yourself: ...

Best of the worst

Watching the Capitals-Bruins game today, I was struck by a particularly bad commercial. This one was Ovechkin, talking about his "passion". It was cringe worthy, and I dont even cringe when Ovechkin shows up in public dressed like a colorblind costume designer vomited clothes onto him. Which he does, a lot. ...

Boom Boom Boom Boom

I have to say, when it comes to completely horrible sports commercials, they would rank like this: 3.) The Boom Boom Boom Boom Fred Couples Commercials 2.) This Gem 1.) Those absolutely excruciating BADS commercials Anyway, Fred Couples, one of my favorite golfers on tour, is leading the Arnold Palmer Invitational after a five-under 65, tied with J.J. Henry who has one hole to go. I'd have to say, my favorite part of Fred Couples deals with my dad, who always tells me the story of how (and think this in your head with a Texas accent), "If you ever go to a PGA Tour event, make sure you follow around Freddie, ...

Celebrating Stanley Season
Published 5/7/2008 by snoopyjode at The Sidney Crosby Show
I had an idea on my drive to work today for an interactive post. I thought it might be neat to see how everyone is supporting our Penguins this season. For instance, I have an array of penguin toys on my computer and 2 pictures on the wall of Sidney pwning Sabres goalie Ryan Miller at work, and at home... well, my house is a yearlong shrine to all things Penguins (the centerpiece of which is our pride and joy - a framed jersey autographed by Le Magnifique himself), but for the playoffs, I've got a little something extra above my TV for luck. I'll definitely get a photo for you soon... ...

Pittsburgh's Mad Max Talbot delivers both goals and your entrée
Published 5/12/2008 at Puck Daddy
One of our favorite lines in the Stanley Cup Playoff history was the New Jersey Devils' Crash Line from their 1995 championship team. Bobby Holik, Randy McKay and Mike Peluso combined to create one of the most tenacious fore-checking units in hockey; one that fought through its obvious offensive limitations (Peluso made Wade Belak look like Pavel Bure) with sheer willpower and brute force. The Pittsburgh Penguins' line of Georges Laraque, Gary Roberts and Max Talbot may have a little more skill than the Devils' blunt trio, but the two lines share that exceptional ability to change the momentum of a game ...

Gary Roberts Wednesday - Max Talbot
Published 6/4/2008 by Blake Murphy at The On Deck Circle
Photobucket This article has been submitted by Stu Wilkinson. Two weeks ago Kris Letang was featured in this space and then immediately afflicted with the infamous Curse of Gary Roberts Wednesday, only seeing the ice for Games 1 and 2 of the Finals before making the joyless trip to Healthy Scratchland. Of course, this turn of events made me swear I wouldn’t throw another Penguin into the GRW mix, but that was before LeMoyne’s own Maxime Talbot slammed home a game tying goal against the Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Finals. With thirty seconds left. In an elimination game. I’d be lying if I said I liked Mike Therrien’s decision to throw Mad Max on the ...
