Foxy Friday: Claude Giroux

Lindsay once told me that if she were stranded on an icy mountain and her options were to cuddle with Claude Giroux or die, she would cuddle.  But only after searching the wreckage for a paper bag to put over his head.  In her defense, I never thought I would disagree. Chuck must secretly wonder […]

Foxy Friday: Jonathan Ericsson

We’ll be the first to admit that our coverage of the players in the Western Conference is limited. Our Foxy Fridays tend to have a more…shall we say, biased skew.  But you can’t really fault us when our favorite teams are in the East Coast, that tends to happen. You can imagine our delight when […]

Foxy Friday: Joe Vitale

Didn’t I *just* say this shouldn’t be all Pens and whatnot?  Well sometimes Foxy Friday writes itself. 26-year old Joe Vitale is from the Lou, and we assume he’s proud.  (That’s St. Louis for anyone who didn’t have kitchen dance parties with me and Chuck in 1999.)  He went to Northeastern University (hi Boston!) where he […]

Foxy Friday: A User's Guide

A few weeks ago, there was Twitter outrage about a Calgary Herald feature on “Counting down 30 hottest hockey players of 2011” [link].  Turns out the writer is actually from the Vancouver Sun, which seemed to explain a lot to you guys. We thought the start of 2012 should have a look back at WUYS […]

Foxy Friday: Brian Boyle

Damn you, HBO. Damn you to the 7th level of hell with your evil ways and your trickery. Damn you for making me fall in love with NHL players that I should hate. Take Brian Boyle, for example. I should hate Brian Boyle.  And by hate, I mean HAAAAAAATE.  Like fire of a thousands suns […]

Foxy Friday: Ryan Callahan

I’m way behind and just watched the first two episodes of 24/7.  I very nearly had to Foxy Friday every ten seconds of this show.  The Universe and tigers and kids in sleds and every word Tortorella says… But we went with Ryan Callahan. Last year I stayed a whole month with NYRFan Stephanie.  She […]

Foxy Friday: Bobby Ryan

New Jersey’s own Bobby “Silver” Ryan is a gem.  He could be Foxy Friday based solely on his Tweets or on this photo alone.  But no, Bobby has both. We never stood a chance. There were 1.2 billion trade rumors about Bobby earlier this season, but he is staying put in Anaheim.  This team has a […]

Foxy Friday: Joffrey Lupul

Today I turned to the Twitterverse for my Foxy Friday inspiration. Our lovely followers came up with some fantastic choices, but there was one who stood out amongst the rest… Joffrey Douglas Sheldon Lupul We just don’t hand these out willy-nilly, you know, so why is Joffrey so deserving of the Foxy Friday honor? He’s […]

Foxy Friday: Intern Takeover

Intern Jeff Skinner here – as in the ONLY ONE here.  Where is everyone today?  Jeeeeeez.  One Caps vs. Pens game and the whole place needs a day off to recover.  Since it’s Friday and we all know what that means… well, I’m just keeping this place open by nominating myself for Foxy Friday.  The […]

Foxy Friday: Thanksgiving

Hurkey durkey, Turkey!  We know you’re all thankful for hockey, and this week’s Foxy Friday is just a reminder of all the things in the world there are to celebrate. Dawn & Chuck are out shopping and Intern Jeff Skinner is making sweet potatoes with marshmallows (you should see his apron), so I’m going to […]

Foxy Friday: 11.11.11

That is, Happy Jordan Staal Day everyone! You may insert your own favorite #11, from this list of all active players wearing today’s lucky number: There’s a legitimate campaign around WUYS to make it Zach Boychuck day, but we told Intern Jeff Skinner he can’t vote for his own roommate .  Especially when said roommate gives […]

Foxy Friday: Viktor Stålberg

Chuck here… You know what time it is… Foxy Swedish Hockey Player Time. Two weeks in a row with the Swedish guys.  Totally un-intentional but hey, we work with what we got. There are oh so many reasons why #25 deserves this honor (the use of the letter Å definitely being one of them) but here are […]

Foxy Friday: Gabriel Landeskog

hey all!  Chuck here with this week’s edition of Foxy Friday! — Here at WUYS, we do not discriminate.  We love all hockey players equally.  Young. Old. Canadian. American. European.  It don’t matter.  They’re all cool in our book. Today, we’re feeling a little cougar-ish..okay a LOT cougar-ish…but not in a South Florida-divorcee-white-jeans-wearing-white-wine-drinking-sorta-way.  We’re totes classier […]

Foxy Friday: Mike Richards

… the WHAT?  First Patrick Kane, now Mike Richards? In case you missed it, the Rapture has been rescheduled for today.  It was more convenient for everyone.  So we figured we might as well start confessing our deepest secrets, like Mike Richards is pretty foxy.  Just not (never never ever) as a Flyer. Richards was […]

Foxy Friday: Patrick Kane

… Did the sky fall? I know what you’re thinking – there’s some kind of Upstate NY voodoo hypnosis going on or Kaner figured out how to roofie via Twitter.  But I’m going to go ahead and say it: Damn, Patrick.  Best use of off-season. Kaner had wrist surgery in July and is back on […]

Foxy Friday: Modano Retires

The Dallas Stars signed Mike Modano to a one day contract so he could retire as a member of the team he played with for 20 seasons.  CLASS ACT. Modano will officially announce at 2 PM ET today and you can watch it live on NHL.com.  NHL Network will premiere “Mike Modano: American Icon,” a […]

Foxy Friday: Peter Puck!

You can’t play hockey with out him! And you gotta admit, he’s a wanted man and ice-ice baby! What’s not sexy about that! Peter Puck is a hockey puck-shaped cartoon character. The puck, whose animated adventures appeared on both NBC’s Hockey Game of the Week and CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada during the 1970s, explained […]

Foxy Friday: BioSteel Sports Camp

Okay, they earned it. Videos and photos and… thank heaven for this week.  And for Alyonka Larionov (person I am most jealous of in the world!)’s Twitter photos.  Who said something about Seguin wearing the heck out of a suit? Did you ask for a t-shirt? And Stamkos showing off (approved): I obliged Intern Jeff […]

Foxy Friday: Derek Roy

It’s tough to be a tall girl. Chuck and I were discussing earlier that when a tall girl needs a date, there are only a plethora of short men around.  It’s like ten thousand spoons, you know? Maybe it’s even tougher to be a short guy.  But it helps to have a professional-athlete level talent… […]

Foxy Friday….ermmm…not so much

So any of our loyal readers out there know that this blog – and this feature, in particular – tend to focus on the more beautiful aspects of the game of hockey. Namely, the oily bo-hunks that play this game we love so much. Patrick Sharp.   Sidney Crosby. Jonathan Toews. Patrice Bergeron. Patrick Sharp. Oh […]
