Joey strikes again…. the adorable 5-year old interviewed the Chicago Blackhawks and put his investigative journalism skills to use to find out what Hawks were on the Naughty or Nice list.
Hockey players have a stigma as the roughest and toughest athletes, but the behind the scenes look at the Washington Capitals in HBO’s miniseries Road To The Winter Classic is proving otherwise. In the newest episode, tattooed defensman Mike Green is seen riding an orange scooter on the mean streets of Pittsburgh, and Alexander Ovechkin, who may just be the game’s best player still lives with his Russian parents… one point for Sidney Crosby, who at least lives with Mario Leimieux.

The Vancouver Canucks Green Men have gained quite a following. The dedicated fans sit next to the penalty box and taunt the opposing team. During last night’s Canucks vs. Toronto Maple Leafs game, the Green Men took advantage of the odd behavior Leafs fans displayed last week when they threw waffles at the players after they lost a game. The Green Men go by the names Force and Sully. Not much is known about their identity, but they do a pretty good job at agitating the players, the Canucks beat the Leafs 4-1.
This year’s Winter Classic headliners Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby will be making a cameo on the Price Is Right to promote the New Years Day outdoor hockey game. Ovechkin and Crosby will be on the game show airing December 20 to give away an NHL themed Showcase. The winner will win tickets to the Washington Capitals- Pittsburgh Penguins Winter Classic at Heinz Field, VIP passes to the Winter Classic New Years Eve Party, all-access practice passes and a 2011 Honda CR-Z Sport Hybird.
Hall-of-famer Jermey Roenick will also be joining Ovechkin and Crosby, to give away Stanley Cup Finals tickets.
I hope the winner is a hockey fan because let’s face it there aren’t many of us out there!
