My brain is like the All-Crosby Channel. Check out this video of Sid practicing his hand-eye coordination and stick handling. Reebok, you bring us all the best b-roll. You might think “wow” or “impressive” or even “oo-er.” I’m thinking, “Why can’t he do this while wearing a tank top? Come on!” You may have seen […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs fans are so upset with their team they’re throwing things. Waffles, to be exact. Read more. I can totally explain this. One year my mom got a new waffle iron and went nuts. Waffles are a breakfast delight, but she was not so contained. We had waffles with soup, waffles topped […]
I’m going to 2 Sharks games in the next 4 days, so I’m picking a hometown hottie for Foxy Friday. Also, you have to give it to Ryane Clowe. Unless putting an unnecessarily girly-looking “e” on the end of everything is a time-honored Newfoundland tradition, it could be a big overcome for a kid. Ryane […]
I write something serious and no one cares! Oh well, I care. Way out West, where hockey cities are few and far between, I look forward to 4 PM every day because I can get a game on the radio at work. Not so bad after all, eh? – 12 Point Spread – Look again. […]
The Penguins winning streak is at 11 games (14 unbeaten counting 1 shootout loss) and Sidney has 200 goals in 3 games. Or something like that. All signs point to awesome… except for this. All these guys are pranksters, right? Love a good practical joke? Well this is one. How many gross superstitions can I […]
Let’s talk about something serious for a minute. The 2010-11 NHL season is officially 2 months old today. With 60 days of hockey under your skates, what surprises you so far? What is going exactly as you expected? – NJ Devils: Even without beating the dead horse that is Kovalchuk (minus 17!), the Red Cross […]
With friends like these, who needs enemies? Sid and Ovi will be featured in the January issue of Vanity Fair. They may be dressed like waiters but it doesn’t take much to get us all riled up. NHL.com posted this behind-the-scenes video of the photoshoot. There’s also this teaser blog from Vanity Fair and this […]
Christmas has come early for Dawn. Not only have I found her Christmas card image, but also her new job. Caps365 posted this behind-the-scenes video of Ovi’s Winter Classic commercial shoot. I hate to admit that he looks kinda pimp in that sweatshirt. Not to fear – he takes his shirt off in the video. […]
I’m trying to think of something witty to say but I can’t stop giggling. I have a lot of trouble with shows like The Office and movies like Meet the Parents – I get really uncomfortable. Typically I run out of the room. But this… it’s awkwardly adorable. I’ve been saving this for a while […]
The NHL debuted the first Winter Classic ’11 commercial during Sunday Night Football [Video]. To quote the greatest movie of all time: “I know you can be overwhelmed, and I know you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?” “I think you can in Europe.” – 10 Things I Hate About You […]
Somebody scored himself a hattie last night, taking the League lead in points and tying Stamkos for the lead in goals. And he did it all with a pervy pseudo-mustache. Oh Sidney… please shave. Even I can’t get past it. No one is attractive enough to pull this off. Crosby has points in 14 straight […]
During November, I saw the Penguins play in Anaheim, Atlanta, Buffalo and New York. Clearly this is the reason Crosby has 26 points in a 13-game streak and was named NHL November Star of the Month. Such is my power. To thank me (mostly for the 15 hour roundtrip drive to Buffalo), Crosby happily made […]
Fidget missed a game this week with that “undisclosed upper body injury,” then came back Sunday vs. Carolina only to be helped off the ice after blocking a shot with his knee. I bet Mikey fell down a lot as a kid. @wyshynski – Boudreau on Green: “Have you ever blocked a shot? They friggin […]
Happy Thanksgiving! On this American holiday, we here at WUYS would like to say thank you, Canada. Our underrated neighbor to the north doesn’t get enough love from anyone but hockey fans. And last night, as I drove past the Canada exit on I-90 and turned toward the Penguins game in Buffalo, I actually yelled […]
Pack your mittens and get excited – HBO ran a 12 minute preview for 24/7 Road to the Winter Classic. It’s Pants vs. Dawn in the freezing cold at an hour when no one should be awake on January 1. As MAX TALBOT says, “Bring it on.” (I think Max would be flattered to see […]
I have been on a plane ALL day and I nearly paid $12.99 for in-flight wireless just so I could get this Mikey Monday update done! Alas, it’s a good thing I didn’t post before the Capitals vs. Devils game. Also a good thing I didn’t fly into Jersey early to see said game, or […]
I’ve been giving out faux Foxy Fridays all week, but it’s time for the real deal. Today’s Foxy Friday is none other than Paul Bissonnette himself. If you follow Biz on Twitter (@biznasty2point0) then you don’t need us, you’re already in love with him. Biz is a character (to say the least), but he is […]
This is the best day of my your life! Two commercials featuring the comedy duo Toews & Kane have been located by our crack detective team. Between these and all the Ron/Hermione love in the midnight show of Harry Potter, I am spaz-happy. First, a HUGE thanks to reader Jackie (now officially WUYS BFF) for […]
Okay, it’s Foxy Friday every day this week. And it’s raining hat tricks! Eric Staal and Jonathan Toews both lit the lamp 3 times each last night… whew! I am spent. EStaaaaaaaaal, bless your almost-ginger heart. 3 goals (2 on the PP, 1 game winner), 2 assists, +4, 6 shots and a block. You know […]
Let’s talk about someone we never talk about here: Steven Stamkos. As if leading the league in goals and points was not enough reason, I want to point out that Stamkos in 20. That’s fine in Canada but Tampa Bay? They have a Yuengling brewery for eff’s sake! This poor guy. No wonder he practices […]
