Oh Max. I cannot stay mad at you. I needed a day to cool off and now I just want to hug you and say everything will be okay, except for that hideous sweater you’ll have to wear. But your Christmas sweater was a good warm-up. If anyone could pull off nuclear orange, it’s you. […]
Sometimes you guys need to see our Search Engine terms. This is priceless. (Dawn says, “Only six?!” I say it’s only 2 PM.)
The biggest question of the 2011 Free Agent market has been answered. And the winner is… NYR Fan Steph. The Rangers have given Brad Richards a 9 year deal worth $58.5 million. [NHL.com] Other teams that may have asked Brad to dance were Toronto, Calgary, LA, Tampa Bay and Philly. How the Flyers have any […]
Max Talbot signs with the Flyers, 5 years at 1.8 million/year. JUST KILL ME. Max got a raise ($1.05 mill with Pens). And I know that when the shock wears off I will still love him but… do you have to aim right for my heart? Do you have to stand so close and shoot […]
Pens re-sign Kennedy for 2 years! [NHL.com] Right now I just wanna… and maybe… for about $2 million dollars. Tyler Kennedy Appreciation Life continues.
May you get Tim Horton’s and a huge free agent contract. Ggo out this weekend and celebrate. If you’re American enjoying July 4th, we suggest you blast some Bryan Adams, then find a Canadian and hug him.
I don’t want to freak anyone (Gator) out, but… The clock is ticking for the Tampa Bay Lightning to sign star center Steven Stamkos before he becomes a real option for the 29 other clubs. General Manager Steve Yzerman has until 12 p.m. ET on Friday to sign Stamkos or else he will become a restricted free agent and, therefore, be […]
Chuck and I may have had a class with Chris Drury at BU our freshman year. No one remembers for sure. We obviously learned a lot in “Rocks for Jocks” or whatever we were studying, and that knowledge comes in handy today when identifying the sediment strata of the landscape in pictures of Jonathan Toews […]
It is a day of rejoicing around the WUYS offices! 1) Ray Shero, you are a beast. The Pens have signed Pascal Dupuis for 2 more years at $3 million. Now he and Sid can stay up talking all night about Sid’s one fight again. 2) Six more years of Brooks Laich! GMGM and the […]
NHL.com reports that Kevin Bieksa is getting a new 5-year, $23 million contract from Vancouver [link]. All together now… DUH. Despite our general dislike of the Canucks, we’ve got a soft spot for Juice. He’s a total ham. We bet he cracks himself up the way we do, when no one else is around, about […]
Apparently the Capitals need more incentive to give Brooksy a contract. So we’re going for the heart-strings, breaking out Mike’s scrapbook and saying PLEASE DON’T TAKE HIM AWAY. The Hockey Junkies have a great Date Night feature that once included Mike. Even they pointed it out: Mike picks you up in this ridiculous white Lamborghini and […]
Things I Love: America. Twitter. Hockey. And whoever made this .gif on Tumblr:
YAY! LOBSTER! File this one under “No One Cares But Pants” if you must, but Calgary has signed Alex Tanguay to a 5-year contract. Tanguay and the Flames have agreed to a five-year extension that will pay the offensively-gifted forward $17.5 million. [Article at NHL.com] Alex and I go way back to when Crosby and […]
This place is falling apart! Friday’s almost over and we’re asleep at our keyboard. Luckily, we had one saved. Did we mention that Jon Hamm presented at the NHL Awards? Chuck lurves him (a Boston accent in The Town, that’s all she needs). Perhaps Jon’s growing a beard until his team (St. Louis) gets back […]
This is almost enough to make me see Mr. Popper’s Penguins. After I sat through The Dilemma just in case the in-game footage showed Toews (it doesn’t, don’t rent it).
The NHL 2011-12 schedules have been released. Lives have been rearranged. And the most epic birthday party of all time has been planned: MINE. It’s one day early (two days if you’re Mike Green), but I will be celebrating my birthday by holding Gator’s beer as she climbs to glass to get to Steven. [Complete […]
Happy 28th Birthday, Brooks! So nice of you to tell us exactly what gift you want. But you should be getting a new contract. Of all the Caps, you’re the one I feel the least bad about liking. Well, you and Nicky B (because not liking Nicky is the same as not liking ice cream […]
Loyal WUYS correspondents @jfrancesw and @chialo managed not to get arrested last night at the NHL Awards party. And they took a photo just for me! I fangirlled right out of my socks. What could top that, you ask? @jfrancesw and the man himself. I should definitely be at an open bar party with Jeff Skinner. Can you […]
I alternate between muting and leaving the room when I’m uncomfortable with what’s on TV. So I watched the NHL Awards in fits and starts and really tried to only listen when a player was talking. The show was fairly agonizing, featuring some of the flattest jokes possible. I generally think Jay Mohr’s pretty funny […]
I went to work early this morning and put the Calder Trophy on Pants’ desk. It’s really shiny. Then I drew a (second) mustache on her Logan Couture poster and now I’m buying myself a huge breakfast on the corporate card. I’m not bragging, but I did win. And Vegas was really fun, even if […]
