Normally we don’t tend to feature the same player twice in our Foxy Friday feature, but after what Gregory Campbell did on Wednesday night, how could we not? from bosstownsports.tumblr.com In case you’ve been living under a rock since Wednesday, just take a moment to review what transpired to bring about this Foxy Friday Sequel. […]
By popular demand, this week’s Foxy Friday is Wednesday’s playoff hero: Brent Seabrook Brent Seabrook, bastion of blueline presence for the Chicago Blackhawks, had some unprecedented struggles at the start of the Hawks’ Western Conference semifinal vs. Detroit. He was not the only one. But when Seabs could hardly be there for himself, when he […]
We love you guys. Seriously. I sent the word out last night that I was looking for Foxy Friday nominees and our twitter feed blew up with a ton of suggestions. As I started to google them to ascertain their Foxy Friday potential, there was one that clearly stood out amongst the rest. Detroit Red Wings’ Brendan […]
The power of Foxy Friday is surprising. Players have an eerie tendency to over-perform immediately after being featured – and it’s not always a good thing for us. When NYI’s Matt Martin pretty much ruined my life in Game 2 vs. the Penguins, I promised not to foxify anyone from an opposing team for the […]
Boston Bruins center David Krejci is a Clark Kent. During the regular season, he is just this mild-mannered guy, playing good hockey. He’s not particularly flashy. In fact, some times you don’t even realize he is there. Then playoffs come around. And he becomes this. In just four games this post season, Krejci has […]
Our Foxy Friday selections have a habit of playing really well immediately after being crowned. I hope that trick does not work today (or this series) for purely selfish reasons, but I would never let that stand in the way of a Friday. Foxy Friday: Matt Martin When considering this Foxy Friday, I had the […]
Well folks, it’s the final Friday of April, which means the final entry for the Foxy Friday Fan Challenge. This week, Brenda (@wishinonehand) wins again. We swear it isn’t nepotism, but when you submit good stuff, we have to share it. And this one is most defintely a keeper. Sadly, we don’t get to watch […]
Week # 3 of the Foxy Friday Fan Challenge brings us to a place we never expected to be – except for that time I admitted this during the Cosmo’s 30 Hottest Hockey Players debacle. Damn the internet, it never forgets! This week’s winner is Cheryl (@c_S_C_D) in Oregon. We feel better knowing she struggled with it too. […]
Week #2 of the Foxy Friday Fan Challenges come to us from one of the 1st WUYS fans, Jessica (@jfrancesw). We know it was hard for her to admit her love of David Backes, but we’re pretty glad she did it. GIVE US ALL THE PUPPEHS! I tried. I tried to resist. I tried to […]
Remember that time in late January/early February 2012 we went a little crazy and named a bunch of New York Rangers at Foxy Fridays? Yea, well this guy wasn’t one of them. We’re idiots. Thank goodness, WUYS fan Brenda (@wishinonehand) is on top of it. She is this week’s Foxy Friday Fan Challenge winner! Check […]
Last time we put Foxy Friday up for popular vote, Sam Gagner stuffed the ballot box from ten Twitter accounts. Or maybe you guys get jealous that we’re all #TeamEbs when we could be sharing the love. The Oilers beat the Blue Jackets 6-4 last night. Sam had 1 G/2A and his 250th NHL point, […]
As desperately as we might have tried, we cannot ignore Chris Higgins. I mean, he’s a Canuck, for pete’s sake. AND a Montreal Canadien. These alone make our skin crawl. It fills us with the fire of a thousands suns. It makes us rage like a Desperate Housewife who has drank up all her chardonnay and […]
This Foxy Friday is presented by democracy. First I asked Twitter to nominate candidates. Then I picked a guy who only got one vote and declared him the winner anyway, because he’s from my home state and he plays for my team. Is it Nepotism? No. It’s America. Brandon Sutter had a good week. He […]
Everyone says do-overs don’t count, but that’s only when you’re calling your ex-boyfriend for a date to the wedding of a girl you hate. Here at #TeamEbs Campaign Headquarters, it’s Friday and this is Foxy, so enjoy our new recruiting video. Don’t be shy, just bask in it. This is the same gym Mike […]
Mullets. Eyebrows. Fights. Three things we love and post about probably more often than is normal. But we can’t help it. And when you have all three AT THE SAME TIME – well, we’re just smitten. We must honor you with our most prestigious award. This week’s Foxy Friday is Adam McQuaid of the Boston Bruins This […]
It appears to be Friday again, or as it’s becoming known around this office: “Underage Boyfriend Day.” Foxy Friday: Erik Gudbranson My, how big your hands are… Erik is a 21-year old defenseman for the Floria Panthers. (I accidentally typed 12-year old defenseman. My brain loves Damn You, Autocorrect!) I think he should also be […]
This week, we honor Viktor Fasth, goaltender for the Anaheim Ducks. Fasth has burst onto the NHL scene in this shortened as the back-up to Jonas Hiller in Anaheim. Initially, Fasth wasn’t expected to play much but instead has dominated in a most unexpected way. The Ducks are on a winning streak and the rookie […]
We are only two weeks into the hockey season and I’m already exhausted. I’ve also made at least two jokes about not knowing the Ottawa Senators. Both true. So this week, we bring you learning. Foxy Friday: Peter Regin Peter is a 26-year old center from Herning, Denmark. He’s got an old-school Zack Morris thing […]
Things I never said before the lockout: “I was watching the Sabres game last night….” But it was on the other day and I was enjoying some Upstate NY (represent!) vs. Toronto rivalry. Didn’t take me long to tell the otherwise empty room we’d found our next Foxy Friday: Marcus Foligno. I’d like to officially announce […]
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 […]
