If I ignore this long enough, maybe it will just go away. It’ll be October and he’ll be out there and everything will be right with the world. I don’t care if you hate Sid and the Pens or rainbows and cupcakes and money. You cannot want to see a premiere player out of the […]
The NHL TV schedules are out [link], and I’m going to have to get the NHL Network this season. They have too many games I can’t miss. NBC will air (potentially) seven Bruins games, six Penguins games, five Capitals and five Blachawks games, none before US Thanksgiving. That’s not going to cut it for anyone without […]
The Hockey News has predicted the Washington Capitals will win the 2011-12 Stanley Cup. We feel Dawn’s hand in this. I admit this wouldn’t make me as sad as it used to. Once clear of whatever round involves the Penguins, I would cheer for the Caps. Dawn would visit, and make signs. Gator and I would cut […]
So Sean Avery is a moron. In other news, water is wet. Avery was arrested early this morning for shoving a Hollywood, CA police office who was responding to a noise complaint about a loud party at Avery’s house [link, and yes I picked the TMZ one on purpose]. He must have had The Hangover […]
I’m leaving him for YOU. Cue Adele. Well. I heard a rumor that DDTBG was holding out for more dough, ah, I mean signing with the Kings because he was waiting to see what Shea Weber was going to do during his arbitration. Why you ask? Well the mill said he felt he was on […]
… move to Chicago. Because this guy is sticking around. Former Foxy Friday honoree Patrick Sharp signed a 5-year deal with the Blackhawks today (dollar amount not released). I’d sign him to a 5-year contract with my fantasy hockey team for how many points he scored me last year. He played 74 games, had 71 points […]
I have lost Chuck a midst the mess of this office. She’s probably buried under a pile of old Jets jerseys and cannot reach her keyboard, which is the only reason she hasn’t posted this. Teen Wolf had his day with the Cup in Ontario last week. You can watch the video [link]. I really wish I’d ridden […]
Raise your hand if you asked Brian Rolston to your high school prom. Really, just me? There are a lot of hockey-related things I could fire my HS BFF for, but this is not one of them. This was a solid decision back in the day. Of course I knew he would say no, what […]
Zach Parise is 27 today, which incidentally is my favorite number ever on a Devils sweater (Niedermayer!). I was about to abbreviate Zach’s name to ZP, but I think I’ll just call him Zippy from now on. Zippy wants a contract for his birthday. He and the Devils are scheduled for arbitration on Wednesday. Zach […]
Okay, so the spelling isn’t the same. Who cares? Our life plan remains intact with Steven Stamkos signing a 5-year, $37.5 million contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning yesterday. We always knew it would happen. So did Stammer: “I never even thought of looking anywhere else.” [link] But we like to have everything signed & sealed […]
Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are UFA’s in 13/14 and 14/15 respectively? I was shocked by this – seeing that the golden goose and face of the NHL would be free to wander and check out other goods sooner rather than later. Ovi is locked and fully loaded with the Washington Capitals for 13 years […]
With the Free Agency thingy all done and gone, DDTBG didn’t quite get what he was hoping for. A restricted free agent, the cone of silence must have been deafening. “Can you hear me now?” is what Dean Lombardi’s morse code tapped out from LA to Canada in frosty covered sparkles. http://video.thescore.com/embed/the-peoples-reporter-1-on-1-with-drew-doughty Drew snapped back […]
Pens re-sign Kennedy for 2 years! [NHL.com] Right now I just wanna… and maybe… for about $2 million dollars. Tyler Kennedy Appreciation Life continues.
I don’t want to freak anyone (Gator) out, but… The clock is ticking for the Tampa Bay Lightning to sign star center Steven Stamkos before he becomes a real option for the 29 other clubs. General Manager Steve Yzerman has until 12 p.m. ET on Friday to sign Stamkos or else he will become a restricted free agent and, therefore, be […]
Chuck and I may have had a class with Chris Drury at BU our freshman year. No one remembers for sure. We obviously learned a lot in “Rocks for Jocks” or whatever we were studying, and that knowledge comes in handy today when identifying the sediment strata of the landscape in pictures of Jonathan Toews […]
It is a day of rejoicing around the WUYS offices! 1) Ray Shero, you are a beast. The Pens have signed Pascal Dupuis for 2 more years at $3 million. Now he and Sid can stay up talking all night about Sid’s one fight again. 2) Six more years of Brooks Laich! GMGM and the […]
NHL.com reports that Kevin Bieksa is getting a new 5-year, $23 million contract from Vancouver [link]. All together now… DUH. Despite our general dislike of the Canucks, we’ve got a soft spot for Juice. He’s a total ham. We bet he cracks himself up the way we do, when no one else is around, about […]
Apparently the Capitals need more incentive to give Brooksy a contract. So we’re going for the heart-strings, breaking out Mike’s scrapbook and saying PLEASE DON’T TAKE HIM AWAY. The Hockey Junkies have a great Date Night feature that once included Mike. Even they pointed it out: Mike picks you up in this ridiculous white Lamborghini and […]
YAY! LOBSTER! File this one under “No One Cares But Pants” if you must, but Calgary has signed Alex Tanguay to a 5-year contract. Tanguay and the Flames have agreed to a five-year extension that will pay the offensively-gifted forward $17.5 million. [Article at NHL.com] Alex and I go way back to when Crosby and […]
The NHL 2011-12 schedules have been released. Lives have been rearranged. And the most epic birthday party of all time has been planned: MINE. It’s one day early (two days if you’re Mike Green), but I will be celebrating my birthday by holding Gator’s beer as she climbs to glass to get to Steven. [Complete […]
