I love end of the year fan appreciation stuff like a love I good montage at the Oscars. It was Penguins “Shirts Off Our Backs” night last night. Down Dawn, they were wearing shirts underneath. Kris took his skates off, but still tucked his jersey into the back of his pants. Just to make sure […]
Today’s top search term? Jonathan Toews with a baby. Okay, here you go: And because no one can resist the power of Joey the Junior Reporter…
You should all read this NHL.com article that runs down every single team and where they stand with 2-4 games left in the regular season. I held my breath the entire time. Oh the East. I really want Carolina to make this one… Intern Jeff Skinner playoff reports, people! If the Pens can please stay […]
I see this everywhere. My boss just brought it in to make sure I didn’t miss it. Ah, the face only Dawn could love. (Sara T says hi from DC!) This definitely made me laugh, which was the Washingtonian’s aim [link]. And now I’m over it. Is it May yet?
Here at Mike Green Campaign HQ, there is much to be happy about today. Mike said Friday that he is concussion symptom-free and ready to play. He may even get a game or two in before the playoffs start. [link] Mike was also prescribed glasses and contacts, which is not unusual for people in post-concussion […]
Somebody is starting early. The Nashville Predators defensemen have a challenge going to see whose playoff beard will turn out best. Is that premature when you haven’t clinched a playoff spot? Or is it simply pointless because Shea Weber already looks like this? This photo is a few days old, so it’s even bushier now. […]
If Dawn watched this whole video and you asked her afterward about the Green Men, she won’t have even seen them. I don’t really get it with TBG Drew Doughty, but I know some of the ladies love him. And he’s clearly been watching some Kris Letang footage because this is like a Pantene commercial. […]
Intern Jeff Skinner here, with a bone to pick. I went all the way to DC this week and Pants didn’t even come to my game. I know she’s busy and stuff, but if I can go to her office and move furniture, buy her lunch and spend an hour at the whiteboard outlining the […]
Oh HELL YES. Sidney Crosby was cleared Wednesday by doctors to practice with his teammates and will join the Pittsburgh Penguins for their trip to Florida, according to reports. Crosby has not received clearance to play, but it’s a sign he could be close to being fully recovered from his concussion symptoms. The Penguins will visit […]
Last night’s hockey was uglier than Chris Pronger in a vintage Ducks sweater, so this morning I need something to pick me up: I don’t have to tell you how happy this makes me. Not just the shooting and the stickhandling, but Sid is skating pretty hard. Please please please… okay, I can’t say it. Just keep […]
The only team hotter than the Pens (won 4) right now is the Predators (won 6). And take a look at this: I get so nervous! There are a ton of games on the slate tonight that could change the look of this by morning: Chicago vs. Boston, Dallas vs. Phoenix, Vancouver vs. Nashville, Los Angeles […]
Mikey is still experiencing concussion symptoms and has no timetable for his return. He’s skated a few times in full pads, but no contact and no full practices. It’s going to be a while. [link] So sate yourselves with this. It’s not only backwards (WTH?) but gloriously showcases those hideous old Caps sweaters. If I […]
We survived! Pittsburgh was freaking awesome. There will be full disclosure and lots of photos, but the highlights included: – Pens Open Practice 1+ hours of puckhandling drills to the tune of twenty little kids chanting “We want a puck!” Letang tossed a puck to us – but it went to the adoring 9 year […]
Once Chuck and I went on a road trip that involved five or six Hanson concerts. Then there was the time we skipped broomball for a Westlife road trip that resulted in us being fined a dozen Dunkin’ Donuts. And the time we saw *N Sync. Well, boy bands are so 2001. Pants & Chuck […]
Hockey season is long. So long, in fact, that you sometimes forget things. When is the last time you saw this face? Zach Parise went out October 30 with a knee injury that was projected to take 3 months. We’re closing in on the 5 month mark and there’s talk that Parise may return to […]
Can I get a moment of appreciation for Jordan Staal? I think we need one. He has really stepped up his game in the absence of 98% of the Penguins squad and well, he’s Gronk. Bad luck (lacerated foot, infection, broken hand) kept Jordan out until the Winter Classic. He managed to steal plenty of […]
Mike comes off long-term IR tomorrow and is eligible to return to the lineup vs. Philly tomorrow night. Obviously we want Mike to wait till he’s really ready. And to be careful. We suggest some protective measures, but we’re not quite sure if it’s time to bring this back: This is from an old Caps’ […]
We at WUYS love St. Patrick’s Day for many reasons: beer, Irish accents, beer, Westlife, corned beef & cabbage, Boston, beer, kilts, Westlife. We don’t really understand why the NHL loves St. Patrick’s Day so much, but we like it. Today you can save 17% at the NHL Shop, and you can save it on […]
Dental works always makes me think of hockey players, and I am having a root canal this afternoon. BOOOO. But it’s a good excuse to post this adorable video of Duncan Keith’s dog. And if they can fix Dunc’s teeth, mine should be no problem right? That has got to be the worst playoff hair/beard/teeth […]
I like to imagine how this man-date came about: King Henrik and his Jedi padawan, Biebs. KH is teaching JB all the ways to be your coolest, smoothest self in NY while maintaining that foreign mystique. – Skype video call to determine exact shade of black to wear. – Meet early for hairstyling. – Courtside […]
