Maybe our pre-season predictions weren’t perfect, but we’re hoping for more luck with these. If we picked our own teams to advance it’s because we feel they can. We know they will. Nothing else is acceptable, RIGHT? Yet we remind ourselves, and you, these are the Stanley Cup Playoffs. No team is safe. Not even […]
At the beginning of this lockout-shortened season, we made predictions for how the NHL standings would shake out come April 29th. Some of them were spot on. Others, not so much. (Thanks for nothing, Flyers!) Eastern Conference #1 – Chuck said Rangers, Pants said Penguins. Actual: Penguins Hands out of pockets – Sid is excited! AND […]
Well folks, it’s the final Friday of April, which means the final entry for the Foxy Friday Fan Challenge. This week, Brenda (@wishinonehand) wins again. We swear it isn’t nepotism, but when you submit good stuff, we have to share it. And this one is most defintely a keeper. Sadly, we don’t get to watch […]
I hope you’ll all indulge me for a moment with this post. It’s not entirely hockey related, but after these last few days, I just need to get my feelings out. It’s been weird here in my city. Every year, Marathon Monday has been truly one of my favorite days in my hometown. There was […]
Week #2 of the Foxy Friday Fan Challenges come to us from one of the 1st WUYS fans, Jessica (@jfrancesw). We know it was hard for her to admit her love of David Backes, but we’re pretty glad she did it. GIVE US ALL THE PUPPEHS! I tried. I tried to resist. I tried to […]
You all better get ready. Sweden is coming to Boston! Swedish star forward Carl Soderberg and the Boston Bruins reached an agreement on a multi-year contract Tuesday. Finally, I’ll get my very own Swedish! While not on the level of say Viktor Stalberg, Henrik Lundqvist, Gabe Landeskog or the countless other ridiculously attractive Swedes that populate the NHL, he does […]
Dear NHL, If you do not use this song for any and all Stanley Cup Playoffs montages, then you’re just doing it wrong. It’s perfection. You know what? Just hire us and we’ll take care of it for you. Sincerely, Chuck & Pants
Remember that time in late January/early February 2012 we went a little crazy and named a bunch of New York Rangers at Foxy Fridays? Yea, well this guy wasn’t one of them. We’re idiots. Thank goodness, WUYS fan Brenda (@wishinonehand) is on top of it. She is this week’s Foxy Friday Fan Challenge winner! Check […]
Have you ever wanted to write for What’s Up, Ya Sieve? Well, here’s your chance! This month, we’ve decided to change things up a bit and let you write and submit your own Foxy Friday posts. We’re calling it the “Foxy Friday Fan Challenge”. Each week, we are asking you, our loyal readers, to write […]
Last night, my hockey/lumberjack boyfriend scored his 300th NHL goal. Rick Nash was all… And I was all… Then Rick Nash scored his 301st career goal. He was all… And I was all… Flyers did managed to score two goals – including one that one off of Jake Voracek’s face – but alas […]
As desperately as we might have tried, we cannot ignore Chris Higgins. I mean, he’s a Canuck, for pete’s sake. AND a Montreal Canadien. These alone make our skin crawl. It fills us with the fire of a thousands suns. It makes us rage like a Desperate Housewife who has drank up all her chardonnay and […]
Last night’s Bruins vs. Pens was pretty good…until the 3rd period. That is when the Pens’ offence sprang to life and took advantage of some uncharacteristic mistakes by my beloved Bruins. Pens scored 3 goals in under 5 minutes and went on to defeat the Bruins 3-2. Now, I’m not making excuses [because there is […]
Variety is the spice of life and sometimes here at WUYS, we need to mix it up. For today’s Foxy Friday, we delve into the world of college hockey and select Boston University forward Matt Nieto as the newest member of this illustrious club. Now, I know that you probably have a few questions like […]
The last couple of days have been crazy. Slammed at work. Prepping huge event. Plus 6-day work trip to Seattle. Just when I think that it is all too much, I see this photo and feel instantly better. photo courtesy of boston.com & Jessica Deitsch Thanks, Tyler Seguin, for just being you. We appreciate you […]
So remember that time, way back in Dec. 2011 BL (Before Lockout) when the NHL proposed a realignment plan that never actually happened? Well, it’s deja vu all over again. In a detailed memo sent to League teams on Tuesday, the NHL again proposed a new realignment plan. This new plan would see the League go […]
Mullets. Eyebrows. Fights. Three things we love and post about probably more often than is normal. But we can’t help it. And when you have all three AT THE SAME TIME – well, we’re just smitten. We must honor you with our most prestigious award. This week’s Foxy Friday is Adam McQuaid of the Boston Bruins This […]
This week, we honor Viktor Fasth, goaltender for the Anaheim Ducks. Fasth has burst onto the NHL scene in this shortened as the back-up to Jonas Hiller in Anaheim. Initially, Fasth wasn’t expected to play much but instead has dominated in a most unexpected way. The Ducks are on a winning streak and the rookie […]
No secret that Pants and I appreciated a good beard, especially come playoff time. So you can imagine my utter delight when I saw this while watching the Stars vs. Avalanche game last night. GREAT ODIN’S RAVEN! Now that is a beard! It redefines the term “Fear the Beard”. With the helmet on, this thing […]
January 31, 2013. The day we’ve all been waiting patiently for. The day we’ll all feel slightly less creepy staring at photos of men 10+ years younger than us. Today is Tyler Seguin’s birthday. And not just any birthday, but his 21st birthday. Shots of Patron for everybody! Oh lord, help us all. People of […]
So apparently Patrice Bergeron and Intern Jeff Skinner got into a “scrum” at the end of the Bruins/Hurricanes game last night. This was our reaction. I know. I can’t stop laughing either. So much hilarity. My feed didn’t actually show the fight because it happened behind the play and Tyler Seguin happened to be on his way […]
