So your team didn’t get Parise, Suter, Nash, Weber or any of the other u/r free agents rolling around in their money this summer. It’s not over yet. Bobby Ryan still needs a home. from thisyearisouryear.tumblr.com If you haven’t heard a rumor about B-Ry being traded to your team, then you’re the only one. Red […]
Lord. The Flyers signed Shea Weber to a $110 million, 14-year offer sheet. I’ve only been awake for four hours and I’m already sick of this. In non-140 character speak, he has accepted their offer to be paid like this: The Predators have seven days to match the offer. If they don’t, they’ll get 4 […]
As you may have heard amid all the screaming yesterday, Mike Green has re-signed with the Capitals. Of course it happened on a Monday! He got a three year deal worth $18.25 million. The deal pays him $6 million for the next two seasons and $6.25 million in 2014-15. That is not a typo. You’re […]
You want fireworks? The Minnesota Wild celebrated the 4th of July in true American fashion: endeavoring to increase their attractiveness by 100%. Maybe they want to win some games too. Their holiday shopping spree picked up Zach Parise and Ryan Suter in matching (how appropriate) 13-year, $98 million contracts. Well done, America. Twitter was at […]
While the NHL Awards are far from and probably never will be perfect, there are a few things that they get right. Take last night for instance. Last night, Patrice Bergeron FINALLY won the Frank J. Selke Trophy. All is right in the hockey universe. If you read this blog, or follow our twitter, or […]
Tonight’s the night. NHL Awards in Las Vegas! Bring on the attractive hockey players in impeccably fitted suits. Bring on the awkward (and hilarious) red carpet interviews. Bring on the D-list celebrities who can’t pronounce the winner’s name (Martin St. Lewis!). Here’s who we think is going to bring on the hardware… Hart (Lundqvist/Malkin/Stamkos) Should: Chuck […]
Today, WUYS has a very special guest post from my friend and über Kings fan extraordinaire, Aaron Vaccaro. As you may remember, I wrote a dedication post to Aaron and my cousin Tom right before the Kings started the Stanley Cup Finals. Now that they’ve actually won it, we wanted to bring Aaron into the […]
Once, a cat named Lucifer messed with Cinderella. She chased him off with a broom. See what I’m saying? Chuck and I are Red Sox fans, which means leading a playoff series 3-0 is not enough for us. We know miracles can happen. (In case you don’t, in ’04 the Yankees were up 3-0 in […]
Last night was bonkers. The Devils scored three goals while I was making mac & cheese, then the Rangers got them all back. The Rangers were bad, then great. Brodeur had one of those moments, like in the back of a cab when you know you’re going to throw up and you have to decide: […]
Tonight the Kings will try again to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals. They’ve lost just two games in three rounds. The @LAKings Twitter feed is spectacular, full of things only Judge Judy could get away with saying in a courtroom. I’d just like to remind the Washington Capitals that I’m available for snarky and potentially trouble-making […]
Last night’s Caps/Rangers Game 6 was officially the most fun I’ve ever had at a hockey game. Maybe it was the Jeff Schultz Fan Club in front of us at warm-ups – hey, there really is someone for everyone. Maybe it was the “Let’s Let Karl’s Dogs Out” sign or the Flo Rida dance party. […]
The fates came out of their hole, looked for their shadows and decreed we shall see more of this: And no more of this: Okay, maybe one more: We extend sympathies to our Flyers fans. Yes really, even though I hate them. Losing sucks no matter if you’re my team or a great looking guy […]
For those of you keeping count, last night the Jawas sent Chewie and the Ewoks packing. I think there was a grand disturbance in the force when Chewie tapped into the dark side and smashed Hans Solo’s head into the boards in an earlier series and sometimes karmic galactic payback is a bitch. Chewie will now be able […]
Most girls will tell you there are few situations in life that cannot be explained by a scene from The Princess Bride. After the Caps’ loss to the Rangers last night, I feel Mostly Dead. Tortured. Gutted. But if you lean close enough, you might hear me whisper: In case you missed it (what on […]
The great oracle Orisis Jones was right as far as part of the West Coast goes: Not since 1993 have the LA Kings been to a conference final and that was when the Great One played for them – as in Wayne Gretzky. The Kings have swept the #1 and #2 seed and yet the […]
The only reasons to be awake at 7 AM on a Saturday are you’re 1) still up from the night before or 2) buying playoff hockey tickets. I woke Gator up with a text and we debated (read: I peer pressured her). Something was telling me to go. The Force was communicating. So we went. […]
Claude Giroux needed to count to ten (in French) before throwing this hit in last night’s loss to New Jersey: What do you think – Shanabanned? I would not be surprised. Zubris has long since passed the puck and G seems to wait until after the shoulder hit is available, then go straight for his […]
The Kings have lost only ONE play-off game to date. And after listening to the announcers last night, could they have made anymore snide/ weight remarks? Let me count them down for you: Doughty certainly is a well-rounded player Doughty just skated down the Blues bench and told them they’d have to be quicker than […]
Lindsay tried to warn Chuck about this last night – I’m surprised Chuck didn’t lock me out of here today! It’s not that serious, but I’ve got a recurring problem: every time I hear the Rascal Flatts song “Banjo,” I get really excited and start rocking out in my car. It’s a good 30 seconds […]
It wasn’t quite 3 AM, but close… When John Carlson scores a goal, I get irrationally happy. When that goal is assisted by Karl Alzner, I yell, “Apples to Apples!” and jump around the room. Can we get this guy a clear mouth guard? Sadly iCarly’s goal was not enough as the Caps lost an epic triple-overtime […]
