Happy Thanksgiving! On this American holiday, we here at WUYS would like to say thank you, Canada. Our underrated neighbor to the north doesn’t get enough love from anyone but hockey fans. And last night, as I drove past the Canada exit on I-90 and turned toward the Penguins game in Buffalo, I actually yelled […]
Pack your mittens and get excited – HBO ran a 12 minute preview for 24/7 Road to the Winter Classic. It’s Pants vs. Dawn in the freezing cold at an hour when no one should be awake on January 1. As MAX TALBOT says, “Bring it on.” (I think Max would be flattered to see […]
This is the best day of my your life! Two commercials featuring the comedy duo Toews & Kane have been located by our crack detective team. Between these and all the Ron/Hermione love in the midnight show of Harry Potter, I am spaz-happy. First, a HUGE thanks to reader Jackie (now officially WUYS BFF) for […]
Okay, it’s Foxy Friday every day this week. And it’s raining hat tricks! Eric Staal and Jonathan Toews both lit the lamp 3 times each last night… whew! I am spent. EStaaaaaaaaal, bless your almost-ginger heart. 3 goals (2 on the PP, 1 game winner), 2 assists, +4, 6 shots and a block. You know […]
Excuse me as my onomatopoeia gets a little out of control: It’s the Mikey Monday Mustache & Moped edition. As Dawn pointed out a few weeks ago, it’s Movember. And I don’t think most of these guys need an excuse to grow a ridiculous mustache. While we applaud Mike for participating to raise awareness about […]
The Mondays cannot come fast enough for Mike Green. He absolutely killed it this week! The season is one month old and the Capitals are atop their division standings today. Last night, Mike dusted off his other nickname (we prefer Fidget) and scored the game-winning, overtime power play goal to give the Capitals a 3-2 […]
Sidney Crosby had a fight last night. Sidney Crosby won a fight last night. I am still recovering from the heart palpitations. The game between Pittsburgh and Dallas got out of reach pretty quickly, with the Stars up 4-1 in the 2nd. Things took a turn for the ugly when Brendan Morrow picked a fight […]
This week’s edition of Mikey Monday practically wrote itself! Like a Post-It Note on the bathroom mirror, the Caps dumped the Flames on Saturday night. Hard. Iginla will be eating Krispy Kremes and cutting Ovi out of photos for at least a week. Washington scored 6 goals in the 2nd period and won 7-2. Mike […]
I don’t want to steal anyone’s thunder on Foxy Friday, but Jonathan Toews does. We asked him to give someone else a minute, but Jon just smiled and did another set of squats. How are we supposed to compete with that? Squats are JT’s secret fangirl-destruction device, so we’re creating a category for them here. […]
The Calgary Flames visited the Edmonton Oilers last night. Of course they hate each other, so it’s like putting your ex-boyfriend in a room with your older brother and letting them duke it out. The game was both a total mess and really fun to watch. Highlight of the Game: Alex Tanguay’s game-winning shootout goal! […]
Remember when I got all worked up about Jonathan Toews doing squats for the new NHL ad campaign? Well it gets better. JT sleeping on the bus. This is so cute it makes my ovaries hurt. Thank you to snowsoldier99 who actually videotaped her TV while it was playing this. That’s the kind of dedication […]
For this installment of Mikey Monday, I’m going to give making fun of Mike Green’s spending habits a rest. Instead, I bring you a recap of the text conversation between myself and Dawn on Saturday during the Capitals/Thrashers game (video). There were about 75 texts over 3 hours. Mike was back after missing 3 games […]
This post was alternately called “I am a Jerk,” because I am. You may recall in September I posted a little prayer for Alex Tanguay to succeed in Calgary, because he is my lobster. Well, someone was listening. Alex got 2 goals and an assist on Sunday night vs Edmonton. I was at Jimmy Buffett, […]
First, let’s all wish Mike Green well. He didn’t play Saturday night and according to Dawn’s text: “They need Fidget, badly.” Don’t we all? Hopefully he’ll be back for tomorrow night’s game vs. Boston, which Chuck hopes he loses. Mike Green Paid for This – Episode 4: The Fireplace I was tempted to call this […]
Every single one of you is fired as my friend because you did not tell me about this! Thank God for NHL Center Ice and the Calgary/Edmonton game I’m watching in reruns, or I might have missed the single greatest thing ever created – Score: A Hockey Musical. I’m like David After Dentist right now, […]
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, […]
We interrupt your regularly scheduled episode of Mike Greek Paid for This for a special occasion – Happy Birthday to Everyone! Okay, not everyone – Happy Birthday Pants (today) and Mike Green (tomorrow). For my birthday, Mike decided to roll up his sleeves and fight Ilya Kovalchuk on Saturday night. It wasn’t a great fight […]
This is your Captain speaking. We’re ringing in the start of the new season with one of the best things about last season: Jonathan Toews. HELLO NURSE. Jon’s about 15 years old (okay 22), Canadian of course, and enjoys eating all his vegetables, playing country music on his guitar and taking long walks […]
It’s our favorite time of year – time for wild predictions that will make you a chump in April. We have consulted the shine of Barry Melrose’s hair and cast leaves in a bowl of Jeremy Roenick’s tears. And now WUYS brings you… Conference and Stanley Cup Champ predictions, 2010-2011 Chocolate Iced predicts: Eastern Conf. […]
OMG it’s Monday. Fidget Fan Club presidential failure underway! All (3) of you will read this Tuesday, but I’m milking the PST time zone for all it’s worth. Working is totally overrated when you could be Googling Mike Green. Since we’ve had plenty to say on WUYS today, I will keep this one short: Mike […]
