As a hockey blog, we would be remissed if we didn’t give a big, huge birthday shout out to the one…the only…the greatest of all time (aka the GOAT)… Mr. Wayne Gretzky The Great One turns 52 years young today! Born January 26, 1961 in Brantford, Ontario, Gretzky is without a doubt the best player […]
Last night, the Bruins squared off against the Rangers for the 2nd time this young season. Unfortunately, the Bruins lost (or fortunately, the Rangers won, depending on how you look at it) in OT. This game had it all. A hat trick. Saves. Blocked shots. A geek fight. And a boy named Dougie. Thing #1 […]
Last night, Bruins beat the Jets in a shoot-out. Awesome. Top line of Tyler Seguin, Patrice Bergeron, and Brad Marchand looks great, especially the Squirrel, who was all over the ice, collecting up all those acorns. That’s cool. Tuukka Rask played well and looked sharp in the shoot out. Word. But, people, not all was […]
The day we’ve long-awaited has finally arrived! Hockey is back! The lockout-shortened 2013 NHL Season starts today and I know you are just as excited as we are. Pants has been cartwheeling down the WUYS hallways, while I’ve taken to spinning around and around in my office chair, screaming “Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee”. Time for our 2013 Season […]
Of the Staples Center” The Los Angeles Kings will FINALLY get to raise their Stanley Cup banner tonight and WUYS West Coast Correspondent, Aaron is hella excited about it. Check out his post below… So here we stand, about to embark on a far too short, forty-eight game NHL season. Man, it sucks to get […]
Last night, Bruins fans from near and far gathered at The Harp Boston to celebrate the return of the greatest sport on Planet Earth. The event, dubbed “Hockey Resurrection Party” was hosted by our local sports radio station, couple of hockey blogs, including our friends at Days of Y’Orr and Boston sports apparel juggernaut, Boston […]
It’s been all Tampa Bay up in here this week so I thought of no better way to round out the week that with a Tampa Bay Lightning Foxy Friday! This week’s honoree – Ryan Malone Here are the stats on Mr. Malone – Born in Pittsburgh on December 1, 1979. Not only is he […]
Is it January 19th yet? Soon. Two words:
…if a Mack truck wore a NY Rangers sweater. Here I was, just minding my own, thinking I was doing all well with the return of hockey. I was just going to ease right back into it and get my bearings…then BAM…Rick Nash. Damn you, Rick Nash. Damn you and your LLBean-boyfriend good looks and […]
I, like I expect many of you are, am a hockey fan conflicted. I had been desperately wishin’ and hopin’ for an end to the lockout and now that it’s here, that is part of me that feels…weird. Like my friend Karen said “It’s like when your teenager runs away from home, and you find […]
It’s no big secret that we here at WUYS are big fans of Tyler Seguin. Pants only recently jumped onboard the Ty-Ty Train and I’m delighted to see that she, like so many, has become wise to the power of this tattooed man-child. I probably shouldn’t like this photo. But I can’t help it. It […]
This week’s Foxy Friday is a bit of an unconventional choice but just hear us out. Back in the 1970s and the time of the Big Bad Bruins, Derek Sanderson was the definition of “Like a Boss.” He drove a Rolls Royce, wore mink coats, and flashed diamonds. He won the Calder Trophy in 1968 and two […]
3,821 miles. That is what separates me from Rick Nash. While I am left here to wallow in my ever increasing depression over the state of the NHL, Rick is over in Switzerland just having a grand ole time. He’s climbing the Alps and making snowmen with Joe Thornton. He’s looking impossibly adorable in a ridiculous uniform. […]
Guest post from our college friend (and Islanders Fan), Comando. Yes, his name really is Comando. We kid you not. After 10 years of failed attempts to build a new arena on Long Island, the New York Islanders finally have a new home – in Brooklyn. Wait, what? How could a team called “Islanders” play […]
This lockout has got us all discombobulated. Our minds just aren’t functioning the way they should in October. We should be spending our evenings watching ridiculous amounts of hockey [courtesy of NHL Center Ice] and blogging incessantly. Instead, we are forced to do things like laundry. Cleaning the bathroom. Reorganizing our closets. Macrame. Baking cakes. Okay […]
By popular demand!! Every time we’ve sent out the request for Foxy Friday nominations, this guy’s name has come up multiple times. In all fairness, I didn’t really know who he was. I mean I knew WHO he was, but didn’t know why the hockey twitterverse was all a-flutter about the kid with the cool, […]
Here’s Chocolate Iced, with an update on the bane of our existence, the NHL Lockout. The NHL has made a new offer to the NHLPA in an attempt to re-start negotiations and put an end to a lockout that threatens the entire 2012-2013. With many NHL players already active in other professional leagues around the world, […]
This year, Boston University has a corps of nine freshman looking to make their mark on the Terriers and Hockey East. The five forwards, two defensemen and two goaltenders come to Comm Ave. with very high expectations. No doubt the story of the season will be the two freshman goaltenders – Matt O’Connor and Sean […]
Obligatory Birthday Post! Happy Birthday to my dear dear friend and hockey partner-in-crime, Pants! Now I know that this whole stupid lock out thing has got you depressed. Hopefully these amazing gifs will cheer you up…
For weeks now, I’ve been wishing and hoping and praying (and sticking pins in my Gary Bettman voodoo doll) that this ridiculous lockout would come to an end. With no foreseeable resolution in sight, I have to focus my hockey attention elsewhere…for the sake of my own mental health and for those around me. Luckily, Sunday was […]
