Welcome to the Land of Nothing Left to Talk About, where I dredge the internet for blog topics. Today, I got a kick out of these: From GongshowGear.com First of all, who researches these pants? Do they go around measuring hockey players? Or better yet, is there a back room and one of those tailor […]
Whatever you’re doing right now, just stop. It’s ruined. Along with everything else in your life that isn’t this picture or a chocolate-freaking-milkshake into which you drown your feelings about this picture.

Who cares what day it is when there’s nothing to look forward to?! Listen, Bettman. I need hockey. Not just for the skating, shooting, scoring and screaming. I need a pre-game skate at the Verizon Center bumping “I Get a Good Feeling” and this man with no helmet on while I cling to a Dunkin’ […]
This week’s Foxy Friday is a bit of an unconventional choice but just hear us out. Back in the 1970s and the time of the Big Bad Bruins, Derek Sanderson was the definition of “Like a Boss.” He drove a Rolls Royce, wore mink coats, and flashed diamonds. He won the Calder Trophy in 1968 and two […]
Remember hockey? That’s it. No man candy this week, just saves and goals and hits and shots and the new all-time low I hit every single day while we wait for this to end. How bad is it? I’ll even take highlights set to Nickelback. I’d take Nickelback themselves right now, provided they brought […]
Tracy P (@T_A_Pthat) is not the first to suggest this Foxy Friday, but her DM yesterday reminded me of something. Lots of teams visiting the Caps stay at the hotel next to my office. It’s prime territory for an awkward lunch-break encounter with hockey players that no one else recognizes. One day last year, Gator […]
This lockout has got us all discombobulated. Our minds just aren’t functioning the way they should in October. We should be spending our evenings watching ridiculous amounts of hockey [courtesy of NHL Center Ice] and blogging incessantly. Instead, we are forced to do things like laundry. Cleaning the bathroom. Reorganizing our closets. Macrame. Baking cakes. Okay […]
I can’t do a Foxy Friday when I’m this upset. Furious Friday, maybe. You can read all about the depressing turndowns of the NHL and NHPLA competing offers at yesterday’s meetings in Toronto. I have seen enough. The NHL took a swing at the PR tide by announcing a 50/50 offer to the NHLPA. It’s […]
You might be our only hope. Today is Mario Lemieux’s 47th birthday. While I’m not in the habit of liking any owners during a lockout, I have to do something to celebrate Le Magnifque’s existence and the fact that pushing 50, he’s still super foxy. If you’re old like we are, Mario Lemieux has been […]
You knew it would happen. No one can be this hilarious and adorable (and talented) without landing in the Foxy Friday history books. Also, as a Pens fan, I know that life without Geno is a cold, sad place in which James Neal scores no goals. I could (and might) look at pictures of Evengi […]
Guest post time! Meet the lovely ladies of This Is Our Jam – Caps fans all and hilarious to boot. Enjoy their musical stylings and wish Krista a HAPPY BIRTHDAY at @thisisourjamdc! Hello, readers of What’s Up Ya Sieve!! We are Krista, Kristen, and Stacey from This Is Our Jam, fellow lovers of the great sport […]
With the NHL lockout looming over us like that creepy guy at work always looking over your shoulder at your computer, we’re starting to worry. A large part of our anxiety is that if the NHL does lockout, we will be denied a new shiny batch of Foxy Fridays to choose from. And that is […]
Suddenly there is a deluge of proof that hockey players believe this season will happen. Every time a bell rings, Intern Jeff Skinner does a squat. Oh wait, everyone does squats. It’s a Foxy Friday party in the gym. Video: Intern Jeff Skinner has great legs (bonus: James Neal) This is my serious face. There’s […]
Be honest. At least once a week you look in the mirror and think about washing your hair. It kind of needs it. Like 60%. You waver for a moment, then say forget it. Because if James Neal doesn’t do it, you can go one more day. Today is that day. Someone pointed out last […]
We all know that hockey players are foxy. I mean, why else would we devote an entire blog day to them? Also foxy – the same hockey players with puppies. Seriously. I double dog dare you to find anything foxier. (Don’t even try. Because you won’t.) This week’s Foxy Friday is dedicated to those furry […]
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 […]
ACK! Chuck and I have been so busy at our real jobs that we’re late in posting some of the very best stuff I’ve ever seen from a hockey summer. Let’s start with the most important thing. I posted a photo of this, but that is not even close to the proper pedestal on which […]
How have we never not done him? Well, I mean a Foxy Friday at least? Cause I’ve .. well. Anywho. Hot mess of hockey hair goo-goo-goodness is EVERYTHING a Foxy Friday should be and more. If a picture speaks a 1000 words then it’s a wonder the internet hasn’t exploded when a picture of this man is […]
We should be ashamed of ourselves. How is it that in the almost two years that we’ve been doing this feature, that we haven’t yet honored one of the foxiest hockey players of all time? Shame on us! Well, we redeem ourselves today by honoring the one…the only…the future NHL Hall of Famer….the Finnish Flash […]
To say that Ryan Suter is having a good week would be an understatement. Wednesday was America’s birthday. Ryan being a member of Team USA and proud American, we’re pretty sure he threw a pretty raging bbq. Sparklers. Potato Salad. Inflatable Pool Beer Pong. The whole nine yards. Then on the same day, he signed […]
