There are two men who work in the WUYS offices… Or rather one man and one very adorable intern. Chocolate Iced is the sole voice of reason in this estrogen-filled den of hockey immorality. While he might not post often, when he does, he brings a certain wisdom and insight that we appreciate and value. […]
With the NHL lockout looming over us like that creepy guy at work always looking over your shoulder at your computer, we’re starting to worry. A large part of our anxiety is that if the NHL does lockout, we will be denied a new shiny batch of Foxy Fridays to choose from. And that is […]
Oh wait… He was born in Sweden. Since that won’t work, I guess we’ll just have to settle for “Captain.” This is my Captain face. Today, the Avalanche made history by making the 19-year-old the youngest captain in NHL history. Take that, Sidney Crosby. Landeskog is 19 year, 286 days old – 11 days younger […]
Another day. Another video from Camp BioSteel. Nealmobile! FINALLY! We were beginning to wonder about him…. He looks like he just woke up and hasn’t had his Paul Martin omelet yet. Get that boy a bagel, stat. BTW – Love that guy’s stank face on the right. It’s as if he realizes he’ll never be […]
With a NHL lockout looming, we have a feeling that we’re going to be watching a lot more college hockey this season. I’ve been a BU season ticket holder for years now, so I’ve always been a big fan of the college game. There are so many great reasons to watch college hockey (especially BU), […]
We all know that hockey players are foxy. I mean, why else would we devote an entire blog day to them? Also foxy – the same hockey players with puppies. Seriously. I double dog dare you to find anything foxier. (Don’t even try. Because you won’t.) This week’s Foxy Friday is dedicated to those furry […]
With summertime and real-life work responsibilities and vacations, things have been a little slow around the WUYS office lately. We’re running at like 50%, not able to post as much as we want and Intern Jeff Skinner is totally being a slacker. He thinks he’s all hotshot with his new fancy contract. We don’t care, […]
For this week’s edition of Foxy Friday, I decided to jump in the WUYS TARDIS and go back in time to honor one of the foxiest (and talented) NHLers of all time… Steve Yzerman The former Detroit Red Wing and current GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning is a legend. Plain and simple. And if […]
We should be ashamed of ourselves. How is it that in the almost two years that we’ve been doing this feature, that we haven’t yet honored one of the foxiest hockey players of all time? Shame on us! Well, we redeem ourselves today by honoring the one…the only…the future NHL Hall of Famer….the Finnish Flash […]
To say that Ryan Suter is having a good week would be an understatement. Wednesday was America’s birthday. Ryan being a member of Team USA and proud American, we’re pretty sure he threw a pretty raging bbq. Sparklers. Potato Salad. Inflatable Pool Beer Pong. The whole nine yards. Then on the same day, he signed […]
We just had to give a big shout out to WUYS guest blogger, Aaron, and his lovely bride Dana on their wedding this past weekend. Not only did they commit their lives to each other, but they also celebrated with this cake. They are true and loyal hockey/Kings fans. (Also, this cake looks really yummy. […]
While the NHL Awards are far from and probably never will be perfect, there are a few things that they get right. Take last night for instance. Last night, Patrice Bergeron FINALLY won the Frank J. Selke Trophy. All is right in the hockey universe. If you read this blog, or follow our twitter, or […]
Tonight’s the night. NHL Awards in Las Vegas! Bring on the attractive hockey players in impeccably fitted suits. Bring on the awkward (and hilarious) red carpet interviews. Bring on the D-list celebrities who can’t pronounce the winner’s name (Martin St. Lewis!). Here’s who we think is going to bring on the hardware… Hart (Lundqvist/Malkin/Stamkos) Should: Chuck […]
Today, WUYS has a very special guest post from my friend and über Kings fan extraordinaire, Aaron Vaccaro. As you may remember, I wrote a dedication post to Aaron and my cousin Tom right before the Kings started the Stanley Cup Finals. Now that they’ve actually won it, we wanted to bring Aaron into the […]
Remember yesterday when I said that the Kings needed to play like a hockey Borg to win the Stanley Cup… Well, folks. They did just that. New Jersey Devils resistance was utterly futile. Last night, the Kings went into full-on beast mode and beat the New Jersey Devils 6-1 to clinch the first Stanley Cup […]
So Game 5 didn’t exactly turn out as we hoped, but tonight, the Kings have the chance to close out the series (again) and win their first ever Stanley Cup. While we don’t like the Devils, we have to give them props for not laying down in front of the purple and black freight train […]
In case you missed it, I had the privilege of joining Jeff Marek (@JeffMarek) and Greg Wyshynski (@wyshynski) on their podcast Thursday afternoon. Go to the 51min mark to hear us chat about hockey, Adam Henrique’s creeper moustache, DPenner’s amazing beard, and boobs. Hopefully this turns in a regular thing for WUYS. We love sharing our […]
This post goes out to my favorite cousin Tom (@Dooms16) and my friend Aaron (@badmovienite) who are two of the biggest Los Angeles Kings fans I know. In one hour, they will see their beloved team begin their quest for the Stanley Cup. At this time last year, I felt much the way that they […]
At 8pm EST tonight, the puck will drop on THE greatest sports champion series in the world. Obviously, we’re slightly biased because we pretty much eat, sleep, and breathe hockey since we’ve started this blog. I mean, not like we didn’t follow hockey closely before WUYS but we’ve progressed to a Beautiful-Mind-writing-on-the-window level of crazy. But […]
If you go seven months without seeing an acquaintance, you might greet them with, “Wow, you look so….” The word the Devils and Kings need here is hairy. These teams last met in October and it’s a wonder if they’d recognize each other now without the numbers on their backs. Each team has been presented with […]
