Not the epic movie musical, just the stories that I felt like sharing today…
Jonathan Toews took a puck to the face last night. I yelled “NOT THE FACE!” so loud the neighbors thought I was watching Top Model. I’d prefer he not get hit anywhere, but let’s leave the facial sacrificing to Duncan Keith. There’s video of him shaking it off like a man and not leaving the ice. He got a goal in the shootout and the Hawks won.
Canadian Gladiators
I picked up John Tavares and Patrick Sharp for my fantasy team. The Islanders are killing it and have the 3rd highest goal total in the League (CI cheers in the background). Sharp had 3 game-winners in a row before last night and has 6 goals in 7 games. Now that they’re playing for me, they will immediately stop producing points of any kind. Sorry guys.
Teemu Selanne (40 and Foxy!) and his round helmet scored their 609th career goal, putting them at #16 on the all-time scoring list (video). The Finnish Flash scored for a team (Ducks) that didn’t exist when he started with the NHL against a team (Blue Jackets) that didn’t exist then either. He misses Paul Kariya something awful, and so do I.
Movin' on up
Mike Green won’t play tonight when the Caps take on Boston. He didn’t even make the trip to see Chuck, which is kind of rude. His injury is “undisclosed upper body” and Dawn is cursing him via text every 8 minutes for leaving the Caps D with their pants down. Mike left the game on 10/13 and has missed 2, listed as day-to-day. We here at CSI: NHL have deduced the injury is to Mike’s right (shooting) side.
Not what I meant by "hold on tight"...
He attended the Caps Season Ticket holder party at Six Flags on 10/18 looking all J. Crew and rode the roller coasters. Video is here, where a fan calls Fidget out for being “too chicken to put his hands up on the Superman ride.” Bitch please – no questioning Mike’s manliness is allowed at WUYS. We’re going to blame that on his injury: he lifts his left arm in the video, so you do the math. Hurry back, Mike, or I’m sending you my phone bill. Dawn is annihilating my data plan with expletives about your teammates.

I have to admit that I am sort of PO’d with Mikey for not coming to see me. What, is he too good to travel with the team, wear a suit, nosh on some popcoren and look hot in the team suite? BizNasty does it. And so has Marc Savard and some of the BU players, so why not you, Michael?
BTDubs – is it weird that I really think it is really sexy when players lose teeth, shed blood, require stitches, for their team? Remember Joe Thornton and his black eyeball? That was hot!
Mike… suit… we could have lobster bisque at Faneuil Hall then walk to the game and have a suite party! Is it cold enough to wear mittens? Because that’s pretty much the only thing missing from this dream. Life would be so much better if we were in charge.
