To say that Chuck and I are busy is like saying that Tyler Seguin is attractive: both true and a laughably inadequate description of real life. Today is Tyler’s 22nd birthday. It’s also Friday. Despite emails arriving in my inbox so frequently that the little “ping” now sounds like a goal horn, I thought […]
Hello, Foxy Friday. We’ve missed you. We’ve often spent your time doing actual work (that we didn’t do all week), when we should’ve spent the day more enjoyably. Like this. Foxy Friday: Ben Bishop You probably heard the Tampa Bay goalie’s name a lot right after you didn’t hear it at all – Ben was […]
Happy New Year! Happy Foxy Friday! It’s our First Foxy Friday of the Year and we’re starting it off right. It all actually started in 2013 when there I was, just minding my own business, drinking a glass of delicious scotch, talking on the twitter, when WUYS reader @sarahconnors drops this Foxy Friday bomb on […]
This time last year we were in rough shape. We’d run out of things to talk about, the lockout lingered and winter was just the cold, terrible place it always is for people who don’t watch hockey. But with a few (hundred thousand) holiday wishes, things got right in a hurry and 2013 turned out […]
For those of you who may not know, Pants and I are proud alumnae of Boston University, Class of We’ll-Never-Tell-For-Fear-Of-Revealing-Our-True-Ages. BU is a college hockey powerhouse and consistently produces NHL players. Right now there are a plethora of former Terriers representing in the big show – Nick Bonino, Alex Chiasson, Kevin Shattenkirk, Colin Wilson, and […]
I don’t remember how this guy came to my attention, but when I almost Foxy Friday’d him a few weeks ago, he was injured (like everyone else). Now he’s back and refreshed my memory in the best possible way – by scoring last night against the Rangers. So here you have it, friend. Foxy Friday: […]
Sometimes being a Foxy Friday isn’t about being the #1 star or scoring all the goals. Sometimes it is about being funny and charming and adorable. And totally crush-worthy. This week’s honoree has got it in spades. So let’s look at the reasons why Barty gets this week’s honor (besides his obvious awesomeness) In the […]
Last Friday, I struggled to choose a Foxy Friday who was healthy and playing. One man heard my plea, and so returned to the lineup that very night. A real American hero. Foxy Friday: Paul Martin Paul missed two games to injury, getting back in the lineup on 11/15 with an assist in the Pens […]
By popular demand, repeated Tweets and just an overall campaign of “WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!”, today’s selection is the NHL’s Most Likely to Be Suggested. Foxy Friday: Brandon Bollig Why does Brandon get so many nominations? Could it be: – The perfect beard? – Stylish outfits? – His excellent taste in music? – Putting […]
Who the hell is Alexander Steen? That’s what we said. We’re used to seeing names like Crosby, Ovechkin, and Sedin atop the NHL stats page but then we see this… And we’re all… St. Louis Blues forward Alexander Steen has been tearing…it…up this season. He’s got 14 goals & 20 points so far. Blues are […]
I’m tempted to boycott Foxy Friday until someone produces a photo of Crosby and Sutter as Maverick and Goose. Like a hunger strike, or a tantrum in the candy aisle at Target. Yet I can’t do that when on of our favorite faces has returned to a) it’s former adorableness and b) the game of […]
This week, we’re featuring yet ANOTHER Swede. Hey, not our fault that this lovely nation keeps producing the foxiest of men folk. Foxy Friday: Patrik Berglund The boring stuff – Born 1988 (aged 25). 6’3″, 220 lb C/LW drafted 25th overall by the Blues in 2006. In his very young NHL career, he has a […]
Today, we’re heading out west for our Foxy Friday Honoree. Ryan O’Reilly The basics – Born in 1991. 6′ ft, 200 lbs centerman. Drafted by the Avalanche 33rd overall in 2009. Career stats – 269 games played, 47 goals, 83 assists. Now those are all well and good but let’s get down to the real […]
It’s time to bring back to our favorite day, and with feeeeeeeeeling. Foxy Friday: Andrew Cogliano From way out west (and arguably the League’s coldest arena), we bring you a guy who knows his way around hockey. Since coming into the NHL in 2007, Andrew has played 459 games. Yes, that’s every single game – 459 […]
I”ve never particularly enjoyed the gym. Or running. Or sweating of any kind, really. My preferred method of working out is swimming, 1) because I don’t feel myself sweating and 2) because sometimes I pretend that I’m a mermaid. But as some of you may be aware, Pants and I are in “training” for the […]
Some weeks are rough. Chuck has worked 60 hours already and it’s not even noon. I’ve had a few days that I could have done without. We’re all mildly panicking because it’s August and we need to wear every dress and pair of open-toed heels before the weather turns. We are not tan enough, haven’t […]
With a name like @letsgofriday, she should know how to pick a Foxy Friday. And boy did she ever. Foxy Friday: David Rundblad I have never (ever, not once) heard of this guy. That’s pretty rare. So I Googled him and this popped up: First thought: Where has he been all our Fridays?! Second thought: […]
Last week, it was glasses. This week, we are continuing with our salute to inanimate foxiness by honoring one of our favorite apps, Instagram. In case you’re not hip to the Instagram, it is an online photo/video-sharing & social networking services that lets users take photos, apply a digital filter, upload them, and share […]
It started with this: from Geno’s Instagram Well no, our obsession with boys in glasses began long ago. Maybe it was when Chuck and I got our own glasses, or when we realized that we a) are nerds and b) like nerds. Glasses may be more cool than Coke bottle these days, but the allure […]
The last Friday of the 2013 NHL season is upon us. Proving that they are foxy to the end, we have featured so many Hawks and Bruins over the last few years that almost none are left! Off-season, bring us reinforcements. Foxy Fridays have a way of coming true on the ice. More than once […]
