Not the epic movie musical, just the stories that I felt like sharing today… Jonathan Toews took a puck to the face last night. I yelled “NOT THE FACE!” so loud the neighbors thought I was watching Top Model. I’d prefer he not get hit anywhere, but let’s leave the facial sacrificing to Duncan Keith. […]
This post was alternately called “I am a Jerk,” because I am. You may recall in September I posted a little prayer for Alex Tanguay to succeed in Calgary, because he is my lobster. Well, someone was listening. Alex got 2 goals and an assist on Sunday night vs Edmonton. I was at Jimmy Buffett, […]
First, let’s all wish Mike Green well. He didn’t play Saturday night and according to Dawn’s text: “They need Fidget, badly.” Don’t we all? Hopefully he’ll be back for tomorrow night’s game vs. Boston, which Chuck hopes he loses. Mike Green Paid for This – Episode 4: The Fireplace I was tempted to call this […]
Every single one of you is fired as my friend because you did not tell me about this! Thank God for NHL Center Ice and the Calgary/Edmonton game I’m watching in reruns, or I might have missed the single greatest thing ever created – Score: A Hockey Musical. I’m like David After Dentist right now, […]
Listen, bitch. My email is TeamTanger so I’m all over you if you give Kris a hard time. Like a 5 minute major and automatic game misconduct for a totally clean, shoulder-to-shoulder, yard sale hit on Blake Comeau that prevented a dangerous scoring opportunity Friday night. Thank God the Pens hung on and won this […]
What’s the consensus on wearing gear for a player you love on a team you hate? I have zero problems we’re at Toews shirt, since they’re not even in the Penguins conference. And if I were famous, I think Taser would wear a shirt with my name on it. But what about Washington? When Dawn […]
Mike! I told you the fight was plenty, and the sweaty Ovi workout shirt you stole for Dawn. Please stop lavishing me with gifts for our joint birthday celebration. Good thing it’s over, I’m not sure what else you might do. Caps TV did a totally boring Mike Green birthday segment in which Mike showed […]
One week into the ’10-’11 season and suspensions have already become a major issue for the NHL. First, Mike Cammalleri got himself suspended for the Habs home opener for losing his shizz with Isles rookie Nino Niederreiter. And this week… Islanders’ James Wiseniewski was suspended 2 games for this gem. While I do not condone […]
Before giving me the password to anything, you should have considered that inside my brain, it usually looks like this: I get *really* excited *really* easily. So last night while Chilean miners were being pulled from the center of the Earth, I was screaming at the Avs/Wings shootout. Not because I don’t care, […]
We interrupt your regularly scheduled episode of Mike Greek Paid for This for a special occasion – Happy Birthday to Everyone! Okay, not everyone – Happy Birthday Pants (today) and Mike Green (tomorrow). For my birthday, Mike decided to roll up his sleeves and fight Ilya Kovalchuk on Saturday night. It wasn’t a great fight […]
This is your Captain speaking. We’re ringing in the start of the new season with one of the best things about last season: Jonathan Toews. HELLO NURSE. Jon’s about 15 years old (okay 22), Canadian of course, and enjoys eating all his vegetables, playing country music on his guitar and taking long walks […]
It’s our favorite time of year – time for wild predictions that will make you a chump in April. We have consulted the shine of Barry Melrose’s hair and cast leaves in a bowl of Jeremy Roenick’s tears. And now WUYS brings you… Conference and Stanley Cup Champ predictions, 2010-2011 Chocolate Iced predicts: Eastern Conf. […]
The NHL released this video outlining the rule changes for 2010-2011. Brush up, so you’re not yelling at the refs for a bad call that’s actually a good call and everyone around you knows it. No one wants to be that guy. Thank God for some of these stricter rules – the slo-mo shots of […]
OMG it’s Monday. Fidget Fan Club presidential failure underway! All (3) of you will read this Tuesday, but I’m milking the PST time zone for all it’s worth. Working is totally overrated when you could be Googling Mike Green. Since we’ve had plenty to say on WUYS today, I will keep this one short: Mike […]
Well, most of us anyway. The NHL debuted their new ad campaign over the weekend: Questions Will Become Answers. I thought this slogan was kinda lame until I saw the videos. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? (Sorry CI, but a girl needs a moment here.) Did I make an entire ad campaign and completely forget?! Because […]
I am so cranky! First I couldn’t wait for pre-season and now I’m already tired of it. Split-squad games, pretending I care who is reassigned… boring. The sound of skates on ice is lovely, but I’m ready for stuff to count. In anticipation of that, today’s news items are things I think will actually matter […]
Look who did his hair and put on a tie! Mike Green is trying to impress us. Unnecessary, I say, but it’s so cute of him to always bring us presents. I have my own little present for Mike, to put him in the ranks of WUYS favorites like Martin St. Louis. A nickname: Fidget. […]
Pants’ Turn! It’s 6:30 AM and I am doing Foxy Friday. Before I take a nap under my desk. Since Dawn Cherrie was so mean to Maxime Talbot last week, this week WUYS is giving him some love. So what if he called Ovi a “douche”? We were all thinking it! (Okay, okay, I’ll stop.) […]
Merry Christmas to us! I have to get HBO and a bigger text messaging plan for this. Maybe I could just get a red phone that rings every time Dawn wants to squeal about Ovi’s man/bear-ness or send me photos of her “Sidney Crosby Sucks” t-shirt. NHL, HBO announce 24/7 series featuring Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh […]
Happy pre-season! Nine games were played last night, many featuring younger and 3rd/4th line guys who hope to make the teams and become household names in two weeks. A few highlights: – Alex Tanguay notched 2 assists and was named first star against Vancouver in mini-game, split-squad action. Woot! – Ducks players who weren’t on […]
