It’s official. We’ve done lost our minds. Commit us to the looney bin. Get us some stylish straight jackets and lock us in that padded room with Justin Timberlake and his weird blond curly ‘fro. Why you ask? Well, first of all, three of the last six Foxy Friday have been New York Rangers. Three! […]
Dear Tyler, I hope you will accept my sincerest apologies for the lateness of these birthday wishes but I swear I didn’t forget about you. That’s just not possible. You’re my lobstah. Especially when you dress up nice… And when you sing so pretty… And when you crack up laughing… And when you get […]
All-Star Weekend is our 2nd favorite time of the year here at WUYS (behind the awkberg assemblage that is the NHL Awards) and since Pants is off on her honeymoon getting all tan, hanging with monkeys, drinking umbrella drinks and being all in lurve, it’s going to be really lonely around here this weekend. So to […]
Tonight, we’ll find out who’ll be the Phil Kessel of the 2012 All Star game. (Perhaps it’ll be Phil Kessel. That would be amazing.) At 8pm tonight, fifty of the best hockey players in the world (38 NHL All-Stars and 12 top rookies) will be up for selection in the Player Fantasy Draft. All-stars and […]
This afternoon, the Boston Bruins were honored by President Obama at the White House for winning the 2011 Stanley Cup. The President spoke for a bit, chided the city of Boston for having too many championship teams, called out Brad Marchand (“Little Ball of Hate? What’s up with that nickname?”), and posed with the team […]
If you aren’t watching “Up All Night’ on NBC, you should be. First off, it is hilarious. Secondly, Christina Applegate & Maya Rudolph. I love them. Thirdly (and most importantly), Will Arnett plays a retired hockey player turned lawyer turned stay at home DILF. And honestly how you can you not like a show that […]
Attention hockey players, Behold reason 2,369,067 to wear a helmet. Warning! Warning! This may make you queasy. You are begging….nay – PLEADING with you all. Please, for the love of Dear Lord Baby Jesus and Tim Tebow – wear your freakin’ helmets! We don’t care that it is just warm-up. We don’t care that […]
Last night, Patrice Bergeron gave a lesson on how to play like a boss. Granted, he’s always exceptional in my opinion, but last night vs. the Panthers, #37 really was the #1 star of the game. He scored both goals during regulation for the Bruins – this wrister on a sicky no-look pass from Pouliot […]
We’ll be the first to admit that our coverage of the players in the Western Conference is limited. Our Foxy Fridays tend to have a more…shall we say, biased skew. But you can’t really fault us when our favorite teams are in the East Coast, that tends to happen. You can imagine our delight when […]
Not of the US or Canada. But for the United Nations of Bad Ass Mutha F—— Last night, Boston Bruin (and Foxy Friday honoree) Shawn Thornton had one hell of a game vs. the Winnipeg Jets. Not only did he beat up on the Jets’ Mark Stuart like he stole his lunch money, but he […]
Let’s face it people. This was bound to happen. Twas only a matter of time until the “Lil’ Ball of Hate” aka “Squirrel” aka “Marshamont” did a bad, bad thing and got himself Shanabanned. Marchand has been suspended for five games and will forfeit $152,439.02 for clipping Vancouver Canucks defenseman Sami Salo during Saturday’s game. Marchand will miss games vs. […]
Scott Arniel is the latest NHL coach to catch a case of the shpilkis. He’s out at Blue Jackets head coach. Todd Richards is in. This morning the Blue Jackets announced that assistant coach Todd Richards will be taking over coaching duties of the struggling team (on an interim basis) for the rest of the […]
Last night, I went to the Boston University/Merrimack hockey game. There I was, just minding my own business, on my way to get a beer. And this happened…. I never did get that beer… P.S. We have excellent taste in hats. P.P.S. That jacket is fierce. P.P.P.S. BU won! Office dance party!
And I’m not talking about the Universe…. I’m talking about the Philadelphia Flyers and goaltending. For years now, the Flyers organization have had issues finding just the right goalie to lead them to the Stanley Cup. They came close in 2010 behind the tandem of Brian “Bobby” Boucher and Michael Leighton, but it just wasn’t […]
Damn you, HBO. Damn you to the 7th level of hell with your evil ways and your trickery. Damn you for making me fall in love with NHL players that I should hate. Take Brian Boyle, for example. I should hate Brian Boyle. And by hate, I mean HAAAAAAATE. Like fire of a thousands suns […]
I think the Bruins are the best team in hockey. Yea. I said it. The Boston Bruins are the best team in the NHL. Now before you start heckling me and throwing rotten tomatoes and heads of iceberg lettuce, just hear me out for second. I know that I may be slightly biased here when […]
Here on Injury Island, we have a whole mess of NHLers suffering from concussions. Intern Jeff Skinner, Sidney Crosby, Claude Giroux, Chris Pronger, Mike Richards, Milan Michalek, Marc Staal, Joni Pitkanen, just to name a few. (We’re really upset about Jeffy thought. Our office is a mess and we just ran out of Mexicola.) With […]
Patrick Sharp has pretty much been having the BEST. WEEK. EVER. First, he and his wife Abby welcomed a baby girl, Madelyn Grace, on Friday. Early Sunday, the proud papa brought her daughter and wife home. Sunday night, he scored his 2nd straight overtime game winner in a row to beat the Sharks 3-2. [Watch […]
Today I turned to the Twitterverse for my Foxy Friday inspiration. Our lovely followers came up with some fantastic choices, but there was one who stood out amongst the rest… Joffrey Douglas Sheldon Lupul We just don’t hand these out willy-nilly, you know, so why is Joffrey so deserving of the Foxy Friday honor? He’s […]
Late last night, the NHL’s Board of Governors approved a radical realignment plan that will completely reshape the busted up, crooked nose, missing teeth face of the NHL. Normally, things like this don’t confuse us. We consider ourselves pretty sharp ladies with excellent hockey acumen (uh, we DID go to BU after all), especially when […]
