Time and time again, Foxy Friday has proven to be a good luck charm to many an NHLer.
You get featured on this blog, good things happen. It’s a fact.
It is also a place where we can recognize the exceptional feats of athletic awesomeness of those players who do big things when it matters the most.
I was all set to feature just one player in this week’s post, but I just couldn’t choose between these both very deserving guys.
I said, “Forget you! I’m gonna get wild and pick TWO Foxy Fridays!”
So, this week’s Foxy FridayS are:
Michael “Cool” Ryder and Duncan “Teeth” Keith
Foxy Friday #1
Dear Michael, you are foxy for the following reasons:
- You have the sun-kissed locks of a golden god.
- You are very Nordic looking despite being from Bonavista, Newfoundland. Are there lots of Vikings there we didn’t know about? You look like you should be pillaging Iceland with Eric Northman from “True Blood”.
- For finally showing us that “sniper shot” and “scorer’s touch” that everyone is always talking about. And just at the right time, athankyou.
- For having a 3 point night (2 goals, 1 assist) in a crucial game for the Bruins, including the game winner 1:59 into OT.
- For being the 1st ex-Canadien to score a playoff overtime winner in Montreal.
- For tying the series at 2 a piece and giving the Bruins the chance to play another day.
- For looking really adorbs in a knit hat. {see how cute here}
- For faithfully reading our blog. We knew it was you creeping all up on our posts. You may not comment but we see your IP address.
Time to visit my favorite website! Those girls from WUYS are brill!
I feel so much better in this sweater. The red and blue one was itchy. Like a hair shirt.
And for Foxy Friday #2…
Dear Duncan, you are foxy because:
- You had 2 goals and 2 assists last night to stave off elimination YET AGAIN. Like Hansel, you are “so hot right now.“
- You have really good hockey hair. Seriously good. The way it peeks out from under your hat…*sigh*
- You single-handedly embarrass Roberto Luongo, take him out of the game, and make his playoff beard throw up little white flags of surrender. (Thanks @CoachQsMustache!)
- Play exceptionally well despite the injury to your defense partner (and platonic life partner) Brent Seabrook. It’s like peanut butter with no jelly. Ketchup with no mustard. Peaches with no Herb. It hurts, we know, but it’ll be okay.
- In one photo you can look amazeballs and like someone we want to take home to our moms AND also do very bad things too. On the other hand, you can look like a meth-head, redneck, hillbilly from the Ozarks. See evidence below. We like the dichotomy. It makes it exciting!
Shiny.
Dirty.
Congrats to Ryder and Keith for being dual Foxy Friday honorees today! Like Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock said…It takes TWO to make a thing go right!

Holy Hell, Ryder is hot.
People are only just NOW discovering Mike’s foxiness?! He almost distracted me from the Professor last year. ALMOST. (this could have something to do with the fact he’s only 5 years younger than me, like my ex, so I don’t feel quite so, er, cougarish)
He also ROCKED the goal scoring LAST year in the playoffs. Shiny. He’s obviously got a special scoring stick he saves for ONLY the playoffs. 😉
I <3 him too, but being a Bruin, almost always a given.
Except Horton's beard. *shudders*
He has been sort of *merp* since coming over from the Habs so I don’t people notice because he isn’t scoring a ton and getting highlight reel goals.
He is foxy to be sure. Now if he can also start being goal-y then we’re golden.
Did you just say SHINY? As in Captain Tightpants, “sure wish I had some grenades”, “I am a leaf on the wind” shiny? If you did, I may die.
You know it!
FIREFLY FOREVER!
well, yes, and now you come to mention it…
YAAAAAAY for the Duncan Keith Foxy Friday! Excellent choice, ladies.
He was a last minute addition. He’s so foxy that he may have to get a FF all to himself one day.
