Valentines Day Moment of Zen
Hey Chuck…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Tazer Cats!!!
If you’ve been reading this blog with any regularity, you’ve probably realized that we are mental. Totally mental…but in a good way. I give you this example… Pants and I were GChatting yesterday about the Towes post that she was writing for the day. Chatting about how our Tazer Foxy Friday post gets crazy hits, […]
Boston Garden aka The House of Pain
I’m exhausted. Last night’s Canadiens/Bruins game was epic. The craziest 60 minutes of hockey I’ve ever seen. Seriously. Ever. Every game between these long time rivals is emotional charged but this was ridiculous. Ridiculously AWESOME. I started to write this post last night, but was too emotionally exhausted so I went to sleep to collect […]
The Beanpot – aka the BU Invitational
For the first and second Mondays of February, the four Boston* college hockey teams – Harvard, Northeastern, Boston College, and Boston University – take part in the Beanpot Tournament. This special hockey tournament has grown to be one of the most unique and anticipated college sporting events in the country. Winning the silver pot of Boston baked beans is a […]
Foxy Friday: Rick Nash
It is a well documented fact that I love lumberjacks. Okay, so not actual lumberjacks (considering I’ve never met one) but guys who look like lumberjacks. Tall. Scruffy. Woodsy. Unabashedly manly. For this week’s Foxy Friday, I’ve decided to honor Columbus Blue Jackets right winger, Rick Nash – the original NHL Lumberjack. In all honesty, […]
Mock All-Star Draft: WUYS Style
Now what kind of hockey bloggers would we be if we didn’t do our own Mock Draft for NHL All-Star Game? Terrible ones, that’s what kind. Just to preface, this draft was conducted via Gmail chat and remained mostly civil and professional, with the exception of when Pants drafted Sharp and when Chuck drafted Letang. […]
"Red Sox all summer but the Winter is…Black and Yellow"
This song = tioght. *gets gangsta* Also awesome is the fight at the 2:08 mark, featuring former Bruin PJ Stock. He straight messes that guy up! (Thanks to Chocolate Iced, for sending it to me. He is a true friend.)
Sad Panda Bear
Today is failing at life. First off, it snowed this morning just in time for my morning commute to work. (Me + slippery snow – no morning caffeine = grumpy) We are supposed to get 8-12″ more tomorrow night and the Bruins got shut out by the LA Kings last night. Then I get to […]
Hockey Memories of Section 8
As a hockey fan living in New England, it is virtually impossible not to be a fan of or follow college hockey. After all, Hockey East is arguably THE most competitive conference in Division I college hockey. Since 1993, Hockey East teams have won 7 National Championships (and the last 3 in a row!) Can […]
Foxy Friday: Colin Wilson
Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Foxy Friday and even longer since it featured a Boston University Terrier. So, folks, for my 1st FF post of 2011, I introduce you to… Colin Wilson Aside from the obvious physical attributes (6’1″, 214 lbs) and hockey pedigree (Dad was an NHLer for 12 season), Colin […]
The Professor Gets an A++ and the Killer B's Attack
Last night, the Bruins faced off against the struggling Ottawa Senators and WUYS fave (and Foxy Friday honoree) Patrice Bergeron notched is first career hat-trick in the Bs 6-nil win over the Sens. The Garden crowd thought that Bergy got the hat trick at 14:07 of the 2nd and launched their caps on to the […]
Epic fail, eh.
Dear Canada, What’s up with your World Junior Team? Last year, you lose to the US in overtime of the Gold Medal game, when John Carlson goes all Snoop Dogg and drops it like it’s hot, totes faking out your goalie. And then last night, you collapse like the Metrodome in a snow storm. You […]
Home Ice, Open Ice
There are a lot of things that I really love about New England. Fall foliage, apple picking, and cider donuts. Springtime strolls through the Public Gardens and late summer games at Fenway Park. But perhaps my favorite thing about New England is backyard hockey rinks. My favorite college professor (and former hockey writer for Sports […]
Nothing says "Hockey" like a nice glass of Merlot
I love wine. I also love hockey. Now normally one does not associate the refinement and elegance of sipping a fine Napa Cabernet Sauvignon or a crisp Pinot Gris with the rough and gritty sport of hockey. Hockey is more a beer sport, fueled by the grease of chicken wings, hard-boiled eggs behind the bar […]
He's baaaaaaaaaack…well soon maybe…
Today is a happy day for me. Not only is in Thursday and that means free sandwiches in the office (SCORE!), but today is also the day that Marc Savard returned to the ice today for the Boston Bruins. Like Balki Bartokimous, I do a dance of joy! Savvy has been sidelined since the end of playoffs last […]
Foxy Friday – Tim Thomas
Subtitle: Old dudes need love too! I love my friend Pants dearly. She’s made me Ramen noodles more than a few times when I was drunk and for this I am forever grateful. But I’m starting to worry about her and her unhealthy obsession with underage and/or barely of age hockey players. It was starting to make me feel sort of like a dirty […]
Milan Lucic – The Love Doctor
One day after scoring a hat trick vs. the Florida Panthers, Boston Bruin Milan Lucic took to answering love letters on www.boston.com. He doled out advice to a girl whose man has been cheating on her and I have to say, he did an amiable job. Who knew this brawler/goal scorer could be such an […]
Best Picture Nominee: GOON
If I was still working in the feature film industry, I would have TOTALLY greenlit this movie. No hesitation. No second guessing. GOON “Seann William Scott stars as Doug, a small town bouncer who, after physically defending his best friend (Jay Baruchel) at a hockey game, is recruited to play the enforcer for a minor […]
Just when I think things are looking good…
Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk up and breaks his forearm. Or should I say, more specifically that Brandon Dubinsky of the New York Rangers breaks Johnny’s forearm. Anyone knows that hockey players are notorious for taking a puck to the face, maybe losing a few teeth, getting stitched up and getting back on the ice without missing […]
