Please tell me you know this song: That’s Brad Richards’ song. Depending on the street – is Henrik on the street? And he is, in fact, a part-time model. ESPN Magazine announced this year’s “Body Issue” athletes, and Brad will get starkers for some lucky, probably unappreciative cameraperson. Last year it was Kesler, whom Jess […]
Any way it shakes out, this is the last Friday of the 2011-2012 NHL season. We’re almost afraid to choose a Foxy Friday because they keep doing things like scoring OT game-winning goals. (Adam Henrique.) Not that we’re changing the course of the Stanley Cup Final or anything. So, who’s left? We’ve Foxy Friday-ed the […]
Intern Jeff Skinner is pissed. Last year, zero Calder Trophy finalists were featured as Foxy Fridays. Not even Rookie of My Life Logan Couture, and not counting the time Jeff posted a picture of himself holding a baby. Zero legitimate Foxy Fridays. This year, we’re giving them out like candy. First Landeshirtless over there in […]
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 […]
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 […]
I forgot it’s Friday! One night with zero hockey and I lose my mind, people. Good thing I had already selected this week’s Foxy Friday: Shane Doan. Things that are foxy: – Birthdays the day, but not the year, before mine (Libras FTW!) – Smiling even more than Intern Jeff Skinner – Wilderness activities – Eligible […]
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: […]
It’s astonishing that we’ve never Foxy Friday-ed Zach Parise before. He is the epitome of what your mother hopes you bring home someday – handsome, talented, and he can read. Seriously, he does charity work for the NJ library system. To dislike Zach Parise is to hate reading, and your mother would be very disappointed. […]
Everyone knows I LOVE GOALIES! And one who gets kisses from Drew Doughty on a regular basis would be high on my list! But this ain’t the only reason he’s FOXY! Jonathan Quick is a baby-face bad-ass! He’s a strong contender for this year’s Vezina Trophy, was a member of the USA’s Olympic Team who won a silver […]
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. […]
Listen people, we need to win. The Caps are down two goalies after Michael Neuvirth injured his leg and left last night’s game in the second period. Their PR guy dressed as backup goalie for practice this morning! Have I mentioned the playoffs start next week? Cue Braden Holtby. Holtby has been the backup-backup goaltender […]
Did you really think we’d forget? Okay, so for a minute there, we might have. Here has just been so much work and life and commotion going on in the WUYS offices right now, that you can’t blame us. But fear not! Your Foxy Friday is here! A bit late, but as they say “Better late […]
Allow me to set a scene, one I bet happened in each of your very early histories: Doctor: “Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Parents of Future WUYS Reader. You’re having a beautiful baby girl.” Mom and Dad: “Yes!” Dad quickly adds: “We will never live in Thunder Bay, Ontario.” Taylor and Tom Pyatt, brothers and fellow […]
I was thinking on Tuesday of all the NHL teams and who had never gotten a Foxy Friday (yes, this is what I think about). Your suggestions are spot on – we’ve never featured a Senator, Star, anyone from the Blues or the Wild. Or… drum roll… the Red Wings. (I’m not counting Mike Modano.) […]
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 […]
True story: My first-ever NHL game was a NY Islanders game. In 1990. The year John Tavares was born. We love an over-achiever here at WUYS, so we’re naturally fond of John Tavares. He was just 5 days too young to qualify for the 2008 Entry Draft (at 17), and the NHL would not […]
If you haven’t realized it yet, Pants and I are sort of nerds (in a sexy, classy way of course). So it it is only natural that we have a soft spot for nerdy guys. They are the ying to our yang. The milk to our cereal. The chips to our salsa. Now, when they […]
Jordan Eberle really wants to be our intern. He applies twice a week – and those are just the resumes we see. Imagine how many Intern Jeff Skinner has intercepted! As “Job Experience,” Jordan humbly mentioned that he’s s a spectacular hockey player. He has 25 G/30 A this season, another in the Oilers rebuilding campaign. Edmonton […]
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! […]
In the middle of the ASG Skills Competition I looked up and said, “Who the hell is that?” I knew Ryan Gosling was Canadian, but…. It was Carl Hagelin, of course. The 23-year old Swede has 8 goals/10 assists in 31 games for the Rangers this season. He was a late addition to the ASG Rookie […]
