Where have you been all my life season?! The Blackhawks blew the doors off the Madhouse last night with a 7-2 win over Vancouver to keep from being swept, devastated and sent to the back nine with nothing but their ’10 Cup rings for company. Dave Bolland had 1G + 2A. Patrick Sharp had 2G, […]
I can’t make an alliterative joke about Tuesday without wanting tacos! The Pens won 3-2 last night on a sweet baby barbecue sauce goal from Tyler Kennedy. [video] If you’ve never watched a Pens game with me, TK gets some of the loudest cheering. He is my Who from Whoville, wha-hoo-na. LePretty had 2 assists […]
Don’t you give me that look, Jonathan Toews. Because I’m giving you one right back. You’re close. You’re so close you’re RIGHT THERE. I know it’s not saying much you only have 4 games to work with. The last two games have been heartbreakers and the thought of tomorrow being the end for the Hawks […]
I’m not getting too excited over the Game 1 victory in Pittsburgh, because Kenny Rogers says you never count your money while you’re sitting at the table. But there was definitely some screaming last night (aside from cries of anguish over the Blackhawks) because I do get excited over strong starts and shutouts. James […]
Time to skip school, call in sick to work, cancel your friendships and stock up on canned goods. It’s playoff time. I’m wearing my Crosby jersey to work in DC and the Red Wings fan in my office can’t look at me. And there’s this: We know you’re ready for tonight – for yelling at […]
Every year when the playoffs arrive, I feel like the dad in A Christmas Story opening his Major Award. Stress, joy, surprise, fear and jealousy all in a big wooden crate. We encourage you to take today and tomorrow to relax. Deep condition your hair, take a yoga class, hug a tree. Because Wednesday is […]
Right now I feel like this: With a little bit of this: all for meeeeeeeeeeeeee Resulting in quite a lot of this: Thank you, Minnesota Wild for giving me (hopefully) three more rounds of Blackhawks cheering before I have to root against them in the Pens vs. Hawks Cup Final of my dreams.
This is me, right now, over the Blackhawks loss to the Red Wings. I’d tell you what I think of the Red Wings but I’m pretty sure I’d be sequestered for their safety. So please, pleasepleaseplease let everything go my way because I’m a bad loser. I mean worse than Crosby. And the only other […]
By the Power of Gray Skull! Evidently God decided to touch not only Drew (“It might be a huge one”), she decided to touch a couple of LA Kings last night (oh please – I would so like to switch places for one day!) and put them into the plaaaaaay ooooooffffsss! Let me hear a […]
When they say a picture is worth a thousand words, they mean one like this: Jonathan Toews, bless you. I can barely keep my lunch down for all the stress I feel over the Blackhawks. The OT loss in Montreal, with JT in the box, felt like a kick in the gut (PK Subban, never […]
Ovi played Babe Ruth tonight as he pointed towards the goal with his magic stick and blasted his 300th goal past Toronto net-minder Reimer! This puts Ovechkin into some super sweet company making him the 6th youngest NHL player EVER to make the milestone – with Gretzky, Lemieux, Hawerchuk, Bossy, Yzerman and now Ovechkin. A face […]
We’ve done it again! Or should we say, Foxy Friday as done it again! April 1st – Shawn Thornton named WUYS’s Foxy Friday. April 5th – He is named the 2011 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy nominee. I’m sure that his great player and all around awesomeness contributed greatly to his nomination but you can’t discount […]
You should all read this NHL.com article that runs down every single team and where they stand with 2-4 games left in the regular season. I held my breath the entire time. Oh the East. I really want Carolina to make this one… Intern Jeff Skinner playoff reports, people! If the Pens can please stay […]
Magic numerical numbers for the Caps this weekend as number 28 tallies number 28 – that’s Sasha Fierce for those not counting. And number 22 for number 22 and that would be Knuble and non-Ruble. We also have career number 400 for number 44 – Sexy Jason Arnott. And last but not least – Ovi caps the magically numerical night off […]
Intern Jeff Skinner here, with a bone to pick. I went all the way to DC this week and Pants didn’t even come to my game. I know she’s busy and stuff, but if I can go to her office and move furniture, buy her lunch and spend an hour at the whiteboard outlining the […]
Last night’s hockey was uglier than Chris Pronger in a vintage Ducks sweater, so this morning I need something to pick me up: I don’t have to tell you how happy this makes me. Not just the shooting and the stickhandling, but Sid is skating pretty hard. Please please please… okay, I can’t say it. Just keep […]
The only team hotter than the Pens (won 4) right now is the Predators (won 6). And take a look at this: I get so nervous! There are a ton of games on the slate tonight that could change the look of this by morning: Chicago vs. Boston, Dallas vs. Phoenix, Vancouver vs. Nashville, Los Angeles […]
Old men getting it done! Teemu Selanne pulls a hat trick out of his ass to put the Ducks past Colorado tonight. There must be something about that number. I secretly have a crush on the old man and it’s not because he wears #8 too like TBG and Ovi. OK, maybe because he does. No, not really. He […]
Marco scores as a Cap this weekend against Montreal who spoiled their play-off dreams last year. It wasn’t the best game ever – in fact, it was quite a grinder. Seems to be happening everywhere as teams who have clinched a play-off position rest their A-team. But a win’s a win and a goal’s […]
Hockey season is long. So long, in fact, that you sometimes forget things. When is the last time you saw this face? Zach Parise went out October 30 with a knee injury that was projected to take 3 months. We’re closing in on the 5 month mark and there’s talk that Parise may return to […]
