Last night, Bruins fans from near and far gathered at The Harp Boston to celebrate the return of the greatest sport on Planet Earth. The event, dubbed “Hockey Resurrection Party” was hosted by our local sports radio station, couple of hockey blogs, including our friends at Days of Y’Orr and Boston sports apparel juggernaut, Boston […]
If there’s one thing I like more than hockey, it’s food. Last night the Capitals Fan Appreciation Night had free hockey AND free food. So of course we were in the front row. Rockin’ the Red with Rae and Pam For this… BAM! No beard. Hallelujah and also merci. I’ll give you the hair, Greener, […]
I’m swamped today, but there’s always time for this! Claude Giroux named Captain of the Flyers Of course, you know that already [Press Release]. Personally I would have gone with Briere (shocking). Can our Flyer fan friends weigh on Claude’s locker room leadership type? It’s certainly good marketing sense to make your highest profile player […]
At the 1:28 mark of this post-practice interview from yesterday, watch how James Neal responds to being reunited on-ice with Malkin. It’s like his first day back at school, seeing that girl he had a crush on last year. In actual hockey news (sigh of relief), it looks like James is going to play the […]
Speaking of Foxy Friday… PIGLET IS BACK! More than anything so far, this makes me happy. Happy to the point of: After visiting a specialist in Michigan earlier this week, Backstrom says there is no concussion and he’s 100%. We say, “Oh yes, you are.” Watch the whole video, because you’ve missed Nicky so: Backstrom addresses […]
Since we couldn’t attend Canada on Saturday evening, welcome Alison (@alisonsykora) with a guest post! I told myself I didn’t care anymore. The lockout was dragging and NHL hockey was no longer a part of my life. I had accepted it and moved on. Then the RBC Charity Challenge happened. “Mwhahahaha,” said Stamkos. The NHLPA […]
SANTA, YOU LISTENED! Dear sweet Mother of I Don’t Know What I Did to Deserve This but your girl here was apparently on the REALLY REALLY NICE list this year, and Christmas is a little early. I screamed when I saw these. My boss came running and found me face down on my desk pointing […]
Chuck has lost her mojo. She’s using words like “uninspired” and “can’t muster the enthusiasm” to describe her current state of hockey-related ennui. Well, it’s Ebs’s first-ever pro hat trick to the rescue! In my our his ongoing effort to make the whole world #TeamEbs, Jordan scored 4 goals and 1 assist on Saturday night. […]
Esbee (@Esbee92) might have the greatest Twitter self-description ever: “I like boys. And hockey. And boys. Did I mention hockey?” She was lovely enough to scan the current issue of The Hockey News for us, after I searched the entire east coast of the United States for a copy. No dice. I know that reading […]
The number of NHL-player charity hockey games that I could not attend increased on Saturday night, with “Rock the Lockout” in Windsor, Ontario. Coached by the Windsor Spitfire’s staff and captained by Steve Ott and Dan Clearly, a total of 28 goals were scored in the contest. The event drew 4,500 fans, including WUYS pal […]
I’m not sure if I’m talking about Sid or what Sid is saying, because frankly both are doing me in right now. By tylerbug.tumblr.com For all the times he’s said nothing in post-game and interviews, when even I called him a robot… sorry, Crosby. I was only kidding. His diplomacy at this point is astounding, seconded […]
I was going to simply Tweet that “Ebs had his jersey retired by the Regina Pats on Wednesday” with a link to the only news story that had an photo [link]. Then I found proof that he can be adorable even when he sounds like the teacher from Charlie Brown (everyone does in this video): […]
If you got 21 seconds with Jonathan Toews, is this how you would spend it? I used to be a ski racer. I can have someone out of that much gear with time left over for hot chocolate. Bauer hired Toews, Kane, all the Staals (sorry Jared) AND Giroux to star in their new […]
Guest post from our college friend (and Islanders Fan), Comando. Yes, his name really is Comando. We kid you not. After 10 years of failed attempts to build a new arena on Long Island, the New York Islanders finally have a new home – in Brooklyn. Wait, what? How could a team called “Islanders” play […]
Here’s Chocolate Iced, with an update on the bane of our existence, the NHL Lockout. The NHL has made a new offer to the NHLPA in an attempt to re-start negotiations and put an end to a lockout that threatens the entire 2012-2013. With many NHL players already active in other professional leagues around the world, […]
There are two men who work in the WUYS offices… Or rather one man and one very adorable intern. Chocolate Iced is the sole voice of reason in this estrogen-filled den of hockey immorality. While he might not post often, when he does, he brings a certain wisdom and insight that we appreciate and value. […]
Oh wait… He was born in Sweden. Since that won’t work, I guess we’ll just have to settle for “Captain.” This is my Captain face. Today, the Avalanche made history by making the 19-year-old the youngest captain in NHL history. Take that, Sidney Crosby. Landeskog is 19 year, 286 days old – 11 days younger […]
Another day. Another video from Camp BioSteel. Nealmobile! FINALLY! We were beginning to wonder about him…. He looks like he just woke up and hasn’t had his Paul Martin omelet yet. Get that boy a bagel, stat. BTW – Love that guy’s stank face on the right. It’s as if he realizes he’ll never be […]
Intern Jeff Skinner here. Jeez, I thought it was tough to get a word in during the regular season. If Landeskog could keep his shirt on, maybe we’d have some bandwidth left! Ahem, as I was trying to say… I signed a $34.35 million, 6-year contract. Not that anybody cares, because Crosby is doing something […]
Last year was tough for the Carolina Hurricanes. EStaal was minus-257 (ish) on the season. Intern Jeff Skinner had a concussion and was limited to 20 goals. Cam Ward’s save percentage was 36th among goalies (down from 17th the year before). They picked up a little after getting a new coach in Kirk Muller, but […]
