I’m sorry this happened against Chuck’s Bruins, but there is nothing better than a joyous hockey hug. Bonus Neal’s face. Sid looks the same. I also looked that way, silently freaking out in a hotel lobby. Update (thanks Alison): Action hug gif. I love that Crosby is this happy for his guys – especially a […]
The Penguins have won 5 games straight. In that span: They won four 1-goal games, including 1 OT and 1 shootout. Chris Kunitz has 8 goals… three of them on Pittsburgh Penguins Sock Monkey Night, creating officially the most adorable hat trick in NHL history. Asked how he felt about seeing sock monkeys on […]
Sweetie, your prom date is here. You’re dad’s thinking, “Whew. My daughter’s safe with this dork.” Sorry to be late – the Penguins annual Skates & Plates benefit was a few days ago. You know, the one where they get dressed up and try not to drop food on themselves, people, the floor give us […]
Knowing that Stamkos, Neal and Tavares are friends off the ice, the imaginary chirping that goes on in my head over the NHL goal scoring leaderboard is tremendous. For anyone who’s ever enjoyed NFL QBs Talkin’ on Facebook, I bring you this. Stammer – I’ve got 17 goals in 23 games. How you guys doing […]
Is everyone up in Edmonton drunk? Or do they come up with (and execute) ideas like this while sober? Either way, I think Edmonton is my heart’s true home. “Oilers Got Talent” has the boys demonstrating some questionable skills that, to be honest, are about what we’d have to offer any pageant that wasn’t an […]
Flyers vs. Penguins tonight! And that is why Wednesday is called Hump Day. I’ve got work(ing out) to do. Enjoy the game!
It’s not my fault I’ve seen this commercial a hundred times. It’s on during the break in every Canadian telecast! Canada, I love you. Also, today is Max Talbot’s birthday. I forget about Max for stretches of time (blinded by the orange), but he deserves some birthday attention. Why are John Tavares and Matt Duchene […]
During last night’s Capitals vs. Penguins game, the role of the Caps was played by Honey Boo Boo: Or maybe she was playing me, and those pumpkins are my fumbled, oddly-shaped emotions. The Capitals can juggle two things. Or two periods of hockey. It’s the third thing, usually the middle period, that falls apart and […]
Steven, how are you going to spend your 23rd birthday? Staring down opponents? Scoring 60? Making sure your name is on the Rocket Richard trophy… twice? Admiring goalies even as your ruin their GAAs? Relaxing? Pants-optional shoveling? Jumping ridiculously high? Reading WUYS? Yeah, that’s the one. Happy birthday, Stammer! The Lightning have more goals than […]
Time for my daily existential Danny Briere-related crisis. The Caps are so frustratingly bad right now that I swore I would not go tonight’s game. Despite taking 8 penalties in the first 34 minutes of last night’s match vs. Toronto, they managed to drag a one goal lead into the third period… and still blew […]
When it comes to the Blackhawks, it’s not easy to be the prettiest anything. You’re well-dressed… till Patrick Sharp walks by. Feeling reliably heroic… then you see Jonathan Toews. Rugged? Try Viktor Stalberg. Good hair day? Ruined by Brent Seabrook. You can’t even walk a dog without being upstaged by Duncan Keith and forget being […]
The bad news is the Caps lost their season opener vs. Tampa Bay. The worse news is they lost 6-3 and got dominated by some old(er) guys (Brewer, Lecavalier, St. Louis) and a kid fresh off the AHL bus (Conacher). But the worst news is this: Mike Green used to style his hair with a […]
If Taylor Hall wants people to be #TeamHall, he should really just be more awesome. And wear this button down shirt. Jordan’s face is the same one we make when we see Canucks jerseys: Look how happy he makes this little girl! She doesn’t even have teeth! Someone should tell her this is it, […]
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, […]
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 […]
Just in case tomorrow really is the end of the world, it’s been fun. The lockout can’t ruin hockey for me. I decide what I love about it, like the Penguins and Capitals at the same time. Throw in a Flyer while you’re at it. Expansion teams, underage boyfriends, never remembering if the Blackhawks are […]
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 […]
In an alternate universe, today is Monday, December 17. The Panthers are playing the Capitals tonight. I’ll be there, meeting Rae and Josie in our usual seats before the pre-game skate with a beer and chicken tenders. It’s a great game: Mike has a hat trick, Nicky has four points, iCarly is under the hood […]
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 […]
People are talking about Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers on 12.12.12, but we here at WUYS know how to party. Happy Eric Staal Day! One of the worst things about this lockout is the delay of seeing Eric and Jordan on the same team. This was going to be their year! (Jordan got 11.11.11 […]
