If any of you have watched NBC’s Post Game wrap-up, then you know Other-Brother-Darryl needs to take that sh*t on the road! Because having handled talent and sat through countless hours of interviews and seen press chewed up and spat out by the best, Other-Brother-Darryl ranks right up there only he is god damn funny […]
At 8pm EST tonight, the puck will drop on THE greatest sports champion series in the world. Obviously, we’re slightly biased because we pretty much eat, sleep, and breathe hockey since we’ve started this blog. I mean, not like we didn’t follow hockey closely before WUYS but we’ve progressed to a Beautiful-Mind-writing-on-the-window level of crazy. But […]
Foxiness can come in many ways, shapes, and forms. Sometimes it can come in the way of physical beauty. Other times from athletic prowess. Still other times from humanistic endeavors like building houses for the poor. In the case of Dustin Penner, it comes in two ways. The Facial Hair and The Funny. When combined, this […]
The stage is nearly set for the ultimate NHL showdown. The Devils and Rangers battle it out at center stage while the Kings wait in the offing for their opponent to be named. It’s a long, hard fight to be among the last teams standing. Every one inch is earned. This week, we salute the […]
We’re trying to keep Foxy Fridays to players still in the playoffs, since summer is long and cruel. The pickings are getting a little slim. But imagine if, say, the Wild had made it this far? Blank pages, people. Chuck is busy at her real job today (borrrrring!), so I’m honoring her turn by choosing […]
Right now, things aren’t going so good for Alex Pietrangelo and his St. Louis Blues. They are down 3-0 to the Los Angeles Kings and are on the verge of being eliminated, their hopes to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup almost gone. We know what can cheer him up. Being named a Foxy Friday! Foxy Friday: […]
So here we go. 7:30pm tonight. Washington Capitals vs. Boston Bruins. Battle of the Blog: Pants vs. Chuck – The Final Showdown. Remember back to your history class when they talked about the gun battle at the OK Corral? Tonight’s Bruins vs Caps game is going to be just like that. Only with hockey sticks […]
There are lots of things that I love about playoff hockey. And although I’m a little disappointed with all the nasty play and dirty hits and the lack of respect that some players *coughraffitorres* have shown for their fellow players, there is something about this time of year that makes my heart just fill up […]
Loyalty is defined as “a faithfulness or a devotion to a person, country, group, or cause.” One might also define loyalty as “Patrick Marleau.” Marleau has spent his entire professional hockey career with the San Jose Sharks, who drafted him 2nd overall at the 1997 Entry Draft (behind current teammate Joe Thornton). 1997 to 2012. […]
Do yourself a favor. Click on the image below. Watch the video. Totes brilliant, right? LOVE IT!! Screen capping GOLD!
So. Much. Happy. Hurrah for Gabe Landeskog on one hell of a game. After missing the pre-game skate with flu-like symptoms, he somehow managed to tough it out and score the game-winning goal (his 4th GWG of the season) versus the Kings in OT last night. When I have the flu, all I want to do […]
This week, we’re going to the bench and giving the 4th line some playing time. We thought it was time to give some love to the muckers and the grinders, the gritty players who claw and fight and forcheck their ways into our hearts. While they might not show up on stat sheets or make […]
It’s official. We’ve done lost our minds. Commit us to the looney bin. Get us some stylish straight jackets and lock us in that padded room with Justin Timberlake and his weird blond curly ‘fro. Why you ask? Well, first of all, three of the last six Foxy Friday have been New York Rangers. Three! […]
Dear Tyler, I hope you will accept my sincerest apologies for the lateness of these birthday wishes but I swear I didn’t forget about you. That’s just not possible. You’re my lobstah. Especially when you dress up nice… And when you sing so pretty… And when you crack up laughing… And when you get […]
All-Star Weekend is our 2nd favorite time of the year here at WUYS (behind the awkberg assemblage that is the NHL Awards) and since Pants is off on her honeymoon getting all tan, hanging with monkeys, drinking umbrella drinks and being all in lurve, it’s going to be really lonely around here this weekend. So to […]
Tonight, we’ll find out who’ll be the Phil Kessel of the 2012 All Star game. (Perhaps it’ll be Phil Kessel. That would be amazing.) At 8pm tonight, fifty of the best hockey players in the world (38 NHL All-Stars and 12 top rookies) will be up for selection in the Player Fantasy Draft. All-stars and […]
If you aren’t watching “Up All Night’ on NBC, you should be. First off, it is hilarious. Secondly, Christina Applegate & Maya Rudolph. I love them. Thirdly (and most importantly), Will Arnett plays a retired hockey player turned lawyer turned stay at home DILF. And honestly how you can you not like a show that […]
Last night, Patrice Bergeron gave a lesson on how to play like a boss. Granted, he’s always exceptional in my opinion, but last night vs. the Panthers, #37 really was the #1 star of the game. He scored both goals during regulation for the Bruins – this wrister on a sicky no-look pass from Pouliot […]
We’ll be the first to admit that our coverage of the players in the Western Conference is limited. Our Foxy Fridays tend to have a more…shall we say, biased skew. But you can’t really fault us when our favorite teams are in the East Coast, that tends to happen. You can imagine our delight when […]
Not of the US or Canada. But for the United Nations of Bad Ass Mutha F—— Last night, Boston Bruin (and Foxy Friday honoree) Shawn Thornton had one hell of a game vs. the Winnipeg Jets. Not only did he beat up on the Jets’ Mark Stuart like he stole his lunch money, but he […]
