Let’s be honest. I got the internship here at WUYS because I was the only person qualified. I mean, what kind of Craigslist ad asks if you’ve ever competed in figure skating and hockey? How many people can say that? The TV stations like to show my figure skating highlights a lot. It’s kind of […]
Six goals in one period is a lot. And it’s exciting. Unless you’re the Sharks and it’s your opponents scoring five times. The Blackhawks had won 8 in a row before losing three, including a SO and an OT. Sharp had 4 assists (yes fantasy team!), Kane had his 100th career goal and Toews scored […]
Sidney Crosby skated today. Did you hear that? CROSBY SKATED! (You should see me dancing.) To celebrate, NHL.com made two entries into the Most Underwhelming Content of All Time contest. First, the video of Crosby skating [video]: And this headline graphic. Somehow I don’t think this covers it: This return to the ice may have […]
The Caps are disproving Dawn’s theory that they can’t win without Mike Green (8 in a row!), but she doesn’t mind. Mike, however, is bored. What to do if you can’t come of long-term injured reserve until March 22? Get a new job in the Caps PR department. Mike participated in Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” […]
The Blackhawks visited the White House this afternoon – it’s right down the road from here, but I was not invited. How rude. Luckily Kaner brought his ever-present FlipCam and doubtless got all kinds of state secrets on that thing. See the whole ceremony: Video. Honestly, does he have a contract with them? Malkin did […]
Okay, we’ve gotta talk about it: Zdeno Chara’s hit on Max Pacioretty. Pacioretty gave this interview with TSN saying flat out he thinks Chara intended to injure him. And now there may be a police investigation, as the ministry of Public Security has asked the Montreal Police to look into the incident. The NHL has […]
At the Caps game last night, we sat 10 or so rows back along the zamboni entrance. During the first intermission, guess who did a little interview right below our seats? Mike Green. Srsly. The best part of this story: I missed the whole thing! I was in the bathroom. Mr. Pants took this video – […]
I’m about as superstitious as Crosby when it comes to sports, so I’m only going to say two things: 1. Blackhawks 2. bbtazerawwwwww Between the stress of moving and this damned playoff race, now I’m crying. Thanks NHL.
Shut the front door. Even Charlie Sheen isn’t winning like the Blackhawks – 6 in a row with 25 goals scored in that stretch. I can’t not post these! For some reason, it makes me want to sing this: Also the Sharks are on a crazy tear, and that’ll get a post this weekend. They’ve […]
I wanted you all to know that 3 people reached WUYS today by searching: short bus photo. I have no idea how that worked, but so as not to disappoint our three loyal readers, I give you this.
Who do I have to know to go to this? I will be in Maryland! I hope Kris Versteeg will be there with a special Presidential edition rap. From NHL.com: President Barack Obama will honor the 2010 Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks during a ceremony at The White House on Friday, March 11, at 3:00 […]
I have no time for my life this week. The Blackhawks moving up and down the West so fast I’m getting whiplash and it’s all I can do to keep up. So I bring you the first thing I saw that made me laugh (and isn’t Hawks-related). Happy Wednesday!
So busy… can’t stop working… WAIT. Jonathan Toews was named the NHL’s February Player of the month. Huzzah! FIRST STAR — JONATHAN TOEWS Toews led all scorers in February with 21 points (six goals, 15 assists) and posted a +13 rating as the Blackhawks (34-23-6) collected points in 10 of 13 games (8-3-2) and climbed […]
Three of our top searches yesterday? Mike Green, Capitals bromance, Washington Capitals bromance. I think this means you want Mikey Monday: Bromance Edition. We exhibited yesterday why Mikey needs a hug these days and who better to deliver than his ENTIRE team? It must take hours to amass so many exhibits for our bromance case […]
One year ago today, everyone I know was on Twitter or Facebook talking about how great hockey is as the US and Canada faced off in the Olympic gold medal game. We could hear them cheering in our apartment complex, and it wasn’t the two Russian guys down the hall. My response: I have been […]
It turns out The Force is not strong in this one. It only works on Jonathan Toews. For all my attempted mind control, the Blackhawks won yesterday but so did all the teams I wanted to lose. Alas, two points are two points and it makes the win even more important. It certainly didn’t come […]
I love the playoff race. I love teams making a last, desperate stretch, like diving headfirst into home plate for that go-ahead run (to mix my sports metaphors). Most years, the defending Cup champ makes the playoffs (last 10 years = 1 miss: Carolina ’07). In ’08 and ’09, it was the same two teams […]
When it rains it pours. First Mike Green took that slapshot to the head and sat out with inner ear trauma. Then he got the flu. He was back into the lineup a game early (vs NYR) on Friday, only to get a hit up high from Derek Stepan just 6 minutes in. He did […]
Give us your caption for this little gem of a GIF: That awkward moment when Mike Green asks Kris Letang to sign his jersey. You’ll have to beat Dawn’s entry: Kris: Wait, I have to move my sexy hair out of the way. Mike: Oh, what do you use in your hair? Mine’s totally OOC. […]
As you well know, I bring Logan Couture good luck and he scores a goal every time I see the Sharks. Even when I’m rooting against them. Turns out it might not be me turning the cosmic tables in Logan’s favor: it’s The Bieber. He means London, Ontario. Because we all know the Biebs is […]
