The Washington City Paper published an item by Matt Terl on Thursday that called the phrase behind this li’l ol’ blog right here as one of the best sports phrases in DC.
Terl also calls RMNB “one of the best local hockey blogs,” which is very nice, though it was a lot nicer when there were like 78 local hockey blogs instead of the three and a half we have now.
You’ll have to read Terl’s article to see the other four phrases, so go do that. For now, here are five more phrases that are even better than “Russian machine never breaks.”
- “Is no disco right now” Said by Alex Ovechkin when the team sucked. We loved the phrase so much, we stole it for our 404 page.
- “Take it to #TheBank” Have you ever been so wrong about something yet also so sure about it at the same? Yeah, me neither.

- “Scoar Moar Goals” Did you chew your fingernails during the Hunter administration and throw shoes at the TV during the Oates years? Then you know what we’re talking about. Never stop scoring is the name of the game, aside from hockey, which is the game’s other name.
What did we miss? What else should of been on this list? Crash the comments to let us know.
