January 31, 2013. The day we’ve all been waiting patiently for. The day we’ll all feel slightly less creepy staring at photos of men 10+ years younger than us. Today is Tyler Seguin’s birthday. And not just any birthday, but his 21st birthday. Shots of Patron for everybody! Oh lord, help us all. People of […]
Last night, the Bruins squared off against the Rangers for the 2nd time this young season. Unfortunately, the Bruins lost (or fortunately, the Rangers won, depending on how you look at it) in OT. This game had it all. A hat trick. Saves. Blocked shots. A geek fight. And a boy named Dougie. Thing #1 […]
Last night, Bruins beat the Jets in a shoot-out. Awesome. Top line of Tyler Seguin, Patrice Bergeron, and Brad Marchand looks great, especially the Squirrel, who was all over the ice, collecting up all those acorns. That’s cool. Tuukka Rask played well and looked sharp in the shoot out. Word. But, people, not all was […]
Last night, Bruins fans from near and far gathered at The Harp Boston to celebrate the return of the greatest sport on Planet Earth. The event, dubbed “Hockey Resurrection Party” was hosted by our local sports radio station, couple of hockey blogs, including our friends at Days of Y’Orr and Boston sports apparel juggernaut, Boston […]
It’s been all Tampa Bay up in here this week so I thought of no better way to round out the week that with a Tampa Bay Lightning Foxy Friday! This week’s honoree – Ryan Malone Here are the stats on Mr. Malone – Born in Pittsburgh on December 1, 1979. Not only is he […]
Is it January 19th yet? Soon. Two words:
…if a Mack truck wore a NY Rangers sweater. Here I was, just minding my own, thinking I was doing all well with the return of hockey. I was just going to ease right back into it and get my bearings…then BAM…Rick Nash. Damn you, Rick Nash. Damn you and your LLBean-boyfriend good looks and […]
I, like I expect many of you are, am a hockey fan conflicted. I had been desperately wishin’ and hopin’ for an end to the lockout and now that it’s here, that is part of me that feels…weird. Like my friend Karen said “It’s like when your teenager runs away from home, and you find […]
It’s no big secret that we here at WUYS are big fans of Tyler Seguin. Pants only recently jumped onboard the Ty-Ty Train and I’m delighted to see that she, like so many, has become wise to the power of this tattooed man-child. I probably shouldn’t like this photo. But I can’t help it. It […]
3,821 miles. That is what separates me from Rick Nash. While I am left here to wallow in my ever increasing depression over the state of the NHL, Rick is over in Switzerland just having a grand ole time. He’s climbing the Alps and making snowmen with Joe Thornton. He’s looking impossibly adorable in a ridiculous uniform. […]
This year, Boston University has a corps of nine freshman looking to make their mark on the Terriers and Hockey East. The five forwards, two defensemen and two goaltenders come to Comm Ave. with very high expectations. No doubt the story of the season will be the two freshman goaltenders – Matt O’Connor and Sean […]
For weeks now, I’ve been wishing and hoping and praying (and sticking pins in my Gary Bettman voodoo doll) that this ridiculous lockout would come to an end. With no foreseeable resolution in sight, I have to focus my hockey attention elsewhere…for the sake of my own mental health and for those around me. Luckily, Sunday was […]
Oh wait… He was born in Sweden. Since that won’t work, I guess we’ll just have to settle for “Captain.” This is my Captain face. Today, the Avalanche made history by making the 19-year-old the youngest captain in NHL history. Take that, Sidney Crosby. Landeskog is 19 year, 286 days old – 11 days younger […]
With a NHL lockout looming, we have a feeling that we’re going to be watching a lot more college hockey this season. I’ve been a BU season ticket holder for years now, so I’ve always been a big fan of the college game. There are so many great reasons to watch college hockey (especially BU), […]
For this week’s edition of Foxy Friday, I decided to jump in the WUYS TARDIS and go back in time to honor one of the foxiest (and talented) NHLers of all time… Steve Yzerman The former Detroit Red Wing and current GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning is a legend. Plain and simple. And if […]
While the NHL Awards are far from and probably never will be perfect, there are a few things that they get right. Take last night for instance. Last night, Patrice Bergeron FINALLY won the Frank J. Selke Trophy. All is right in the hockey universe. If you read this blog, or follow our twitter, or […]
Today, WUYS has a very special guest post from my friend and über Kings fan extraordinaire, Aaron Vaccaro. As you may remember, I wrote a dedication post to Aaron and my cousin Tom right before the Kings started the Stanley Cup Finals. Now that they’ve actually won it, we wanted to bring Aaron into the […]
Remember yesterday when I said that the Kings needed to play like a hockey Borg to win the Stanley Cup… Well, folks. They did just that. New Jersey Devils resistance was utterly futile. Last night, the Kings went into full-on beast mode and beat the New Jersey Devils 6-1 to clinch the first Stanley Cup […]
So Game 5 didn’t exactly turn out as we hoped, but tonight, the Kings have the chance to close out the series (again) and win their first ever Stanley Cup. While we don’t like the Devils, we have to give them props for not laying down in front of the purple and black freight train […]
In case you missed it, I had the privilege of joining Jeff Marek (@JeffMarek) and Greg Wyshynski (@wyshynski) on their podcast Thursday afternoon. Go to the 51min mark to hear us chat about hockey, Adam Henrique’s creeper moustache, DPenner’s amazing beard, and boobs. Hopefully this turns in a regular thing for WUYS. We love sharing our […]
