One week into the ’10-’11 season and suspensions have already become a major issue for the NHL. First, Mike Cammalleri got himself suspended for the Habs home opener for losing his shizz with Isles rookie Nino Niederreiter. And this week… Islanders’ James Wiseniewski was suspended 2 games for this gem. While I do not condone […]
Before giving me the password to anything, you should have considered that inside my brain, it usually looks like this: I get *really* excited *really* easily. So last night while Chilean miners were being pulled from the center of the Earth, I was screaming at the Avs/Wings shootout. Not because I don’t care, […]
The NHL released this video outlining the rule changes for 2010-2011. Brush up, so you’re not yelling at the refs for a bad call that’s actually a good call and everyone around you knows it. No one wants to be that guy. Thank God for some of these stricter rules – the slo-mo shots of […]
Well, most of us anyway. The NHL debuted their new ad campaign over the weekend: Questions Will Become Answers. I thought this slogan was kinda lame until I saw the videos. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? (Sorry CI, but a girl needs a moment here.) Did I make an entire ad campaign and completely forget?! Because […]
Edmonton Oiler’s goalie Nikolai Khabibulin or as I guess he is being called now “KHABI-BLEW-AN – .164 blood alcohol” this past summer … was sentence to 30 days in jail for “extreme DUI” which is twice the legal limit in most states. A fan decided to create his own jersey to commemorate the event at […]
I am so cranky! First I couldn’t wait for pre-season and now I’m already tired of it. Split-squad games, pretending I care who is reassigned… boring. The sound of skates on ice is lovely, but I’m ready for stuff to count. In anticipation of that, today’s news items are things I think will actually matter […]
Merry Christmas to us! I have to get HBO and a bigger text messaging plan for this. Maybe I could just get a red phone that rings every time Dawn wants to squeal about Ovi’s man/bear-ness or send me photos of her “Sidney Crosby Sucks” t-shirt. NHL, HBO announce 24/7 series featuring Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh […]
Happy pre-season! Nine games were played last night, many featuring younger and 3rd/4th line guys who hope to make the teams and become household names in two weeks. A few highlights: – Alex Tanguay notched 2 assists and was named first star against Vancouver in mini-game, split-squad action. Woot! – Ducks players who weren’t on […]
Training camps opened Friday and over the weekend a lot of people (who weren’t me) got to see some pre-season hockey. It looks like the Blackhawks had the most fun, as the Champs should, by hosting their annual Training Camp Festival including… wait for it… a rollerblading race! Mr. Pants is very jealous because he […]
Here at WUYS, we delight in carrying the banner for you. While wearing short pants and jaunty caps, perhaps with a choreographed dance routine (remixed to Lady Gaga?) From the Morning News Desk: T-minus 3 weeks until the season starts! 1) Penguin’s forward Jordan Staal will miss the start of the regular season after another […]
