Foxiness can come in many ways, shapes, and forms. Sometimes it can come in the way of physical beauty. Other times from athletic prowess. Still other times from humanistic endeavors like building houses for the poor. In the case of Dustin Penner, it comes in two ways. The Facial Hair and The Funny. When combined, this […]
The stage is nearly set for the ultimate NHL showdown. The Devils and Rangers battle it out at center stage while the Kings wait in the offing for their opponent to be named. It’s a long, hard fight to be among the last teams standing. Every one inch is earned. This week, we salute the […]
The letter “A” is awarded only to the best. Students with the highest scores. Products with the best quality. Restaurants with the cleanest kitchens. We all know Alvin didn’t lead The Chimpmunks just because he had the best dance moves. The very presence of an “A” denotes greatness. We love (OK, worship) our NHL team […]
In case you missed it yesterday, check out our post from Puck Daddy! In this year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs, the fates select which beards will have a chance to realize their true potential. Five teams remain. Five beards (OK, six) have emerged as top contenders for Beard of the Year. None of these teams made it […]
Right now, things aren’t going so good for Alex Pietrangelo and his St. Louis Blues. They are down 3-0 to the Los Angeles Kings and are on the verge of being eliminated, their hopes to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup almost gone. We know what can cheer him up. Being named a Foxy Friday! Foxy Friday: […]
Back when we listed the most common playoff beard types, you may recall we included the “Maybe Don’t” category. This is the circular file where well-intentioned and enthusiastic efforts are stored until perfect attendance awards are handed out. ‘A’ for effort and all that. Since then we have admired the burgeoning beauty of many beards. […]
So here we go. 7:30pm tonight. Washington Capitals vs. Boston Bruins. Battle of the Blog: Pants vs. Chuck – The Final Showdown. Remember back to your history class when they talked about the gun battle at the OK Corral? Tonight’s Bruins vs Caps game is going to be just like that. Only with hockey sticks […]
Check us out every Thursday through out the NHL Playoffs on Puck Daddy! April 19, 2012 –This early in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, beards are like second-round berths and regulation wins – shiny hopes and dreams. It’s barely Week 2 and, at best, most players are sporting only peach fuzz or the beard equivalent of […]
There are lots of things that I love about playoff hockey. And although I’m a little disappointed with all the nasty play and dirty hits and the lack of respect that some players *coughraffitorres* have shown for their fellow players, there is something about this time of year that makes my heart just fill up […]
Loyalty is defined as “a faithfulness or a devotion to a person, country, group, or cause.” One might also define loyalty as “Patrick Marleau.” Marleau has spent his entire professional hockey career with the San Jose Sharks, who drafted him 2nd overall at the 1997 Entry Draft (behind current teammate Joe Thornton). 1997 to 2012. […]
EXCITING NEWS EVERYONE! Pants and I are proud to announce that during the playoffs, WUYS will be writing a weekly post on Puck Daddy!! It’ll be about the best (and worst) playoff beards, which is one of the things we simply adore about hockey players. I heart beards so much that I have been know […]
Last night was yet another Battle of the Blog: Pants vs. Chuck. Pants won. You know who didn’t win? (I mean besides me and the Bruins, of course.) Johnny Boychuk and Joe Vitale At 6:45 of the 3rd period, Boychuk collided awkwardly with Arron Asham and crumpled to the ice. I screamed “Boychuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkk Nooooooooooooooooo.” Immediate *facepalm* […]
Did you really think we’d forget? Okay, so for a minute there, we might have. Here has just been so much work and life and commotion going on in the WUYS offices right now, that you can’t blame us. But fear not! Your Foxy Friday is here! A bit late, but as they say “Better late […]
As some of you maybe aware, I am in my final semester of grad school (yay!). It’s been three lo000000000ng years of working full-time, while taking classes, and trying to manage somewhat of a normal social life. The joy I will feel come graduation day in May….you have no idea…. One of my classes this […]
Do yourself a favor. Click on the image below. Watch the video. Totes brilliant, right? LOVE IT!! Screen capping GOLD!
So. Much. Happy. Hurrah for Gabe Landeskog on one hell of a game. After missing the pre-game skate with flu-like symptoms, he somehow managed to tough it out and score the game-winning goal (his 4th GWG of the season) versus the Kings in OT last night. When I have the flu, all I want to do […]
MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Help! The Bruins are teetering precariously on the edge of the abyss…and they are threathening to take me with them. Saturday, they lost to the Capitals. Yesterday, they got violated by the Penguins. Patrice Bergeron and Adam McQuaid both got injured. With Nathan Horton, Rich Peverley, Beniot Pouliot, and Tuukka Rask already out, […]
This week, we’re going to the bench and giving the 4th line some playing time. We thought it was time to give some love to the muckers and the grinders, the gritty players who claw and fight and forcheck their ways into our hearts. While they might not show up on stat sheets or make […]
If you haven’t realized it yet, Pants and I are sort of nerds (in a sexy, classy way of course). So it it is only natural that we have a soft spot for nerdy guys. They are the ying to our yang. The milk to our cereal. The chips to our salsa. Now, when they […]
You likes? I loves. I took some creative liberties but I really hope that Intern Jeff Skinner love it too.
