How to know WUYS is the blog for you: You’d gladly trade a summertime pool boy for the Stamkos Pants-Optional Shovel Service doing squats in your wintry yard. Once again: Gary Roberts, will you adopt us? Pssst, we were only kidding. Steven’s well qualified for summer work too. Clearly what we need is a blizzard. […]
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): […]
A brief spark of lockout-ending hope arced across the sky this week. Just as appears to be plummeting back to Earth like a flaming piece of space debris… Mike Green holds a baby. My faith in the world is restored. He must know we’re out here on the raggedy edge. Short of showing up at […]
I thought the apocalypse was truly nigh when Tumblr failed to produce a single photo from last night’s Front Page Arlington Sandy charity drinking fest. Alas, Russian Machine Never Breaks saves the day! The event featured a bar crawl poker tournament (cool idea, read about it here) and Mike Green. What more does a girl need? THIS HAIR. […]
Who cares what day it is when there’s nothing to look forward to?! Listen, Bettman. I need hockey. Not just for the skating, shooting, scoring and screaming. I need a pre-game skate at the Verizon Center bumping “I Get a Good Feeling” and this man with no helmet on while I cling to a Dunkin’ […]
Let’s talk about this photo James Neal posted on Twitter the other day, after a backyard hockey game at Gary Roberts’ house. First of all, Gary Roberts, why aren’t you my father? Also, if you have any daughters I presume you’ve locked them up before inviting your padawans over. Secondly, this would never work on […]
Our love for Movember comes in many forms. On one hand it’s gives us warm & fuzzies to see hockey players doing something fun to raise money and awareness for a good cause. Also, we like to see people looking silly. We’ve even gone so far as to suggest some people should take donations not […]
As if the lockout wasn’t bad enough, Steven Stamkos hates me. He seems to think that in this terrible time, I should suffer even more. I’m not even talking about those pants. A beard?! Stopityouarekillingme! How dare you look this charming and reference the playoffs when the only hockey I can get is reruns of […]
Well someone’s playing hockey – and having a lot of fun doing it. If you think that I saw this link on Twitter last night, got out of bed and went to my computer to watch it with better video quality, you guessed right! Emilio Estevez – Post-Game [link] In which he calls a teammate […]
Yesterday, Mike asked: So are we, my friend. While we’re sure Mike would look be great at lifting heavy things around the WUYS office, some actual work must be done here. We can’t just be watching the help all day long, asking them to get things off high shelves and turning the heat up full […]
Long before this happened, Berlin was one of my favorite cities I’ve ever visited. Now… Gingeroux and Legolas have arrived in Berlin play for the Ice Bears (that’s Eisbaren for those of you translating at home). They’ve begun practicing with the team. I’ve begun wondering when Coca-Cola is going to sue someone for making their […]
The girls are all in a tizz on the Twitter over this Crosby video, and now I can finally see why. DAMN COLORADO, what is in your water? Is that why Gabe is so Gabe all the time? We thought it was Sweden. Sid has never looked better… he even seems fit to burst out […]
So it’s Monday morning and I’ve already torn my jeans and gotten the wrong ice tea from Dunkin Donuts. Everyone in DC is off work except for me, because the movie industry does not care about the alleged discovery of the New World. Sorry Columbus. There’s only one way to save this Monday: New Mike […]
The phrase “Fantasy Hockey” is especially cruel these days, when hockey itself is the fantasy. But we held the WUYS Fantasy Hockey League draft last night, and despite the lockout I still made my picks count. If we never get our game back, maybe we could just play some beach volleyball. With an eye toward […]
It’s Monday, and the first of October. I expected to be writing about pre-season games and the fact that in 10 days, the regular season would start on my birthday. Followed by the Caps home opener on October 12, Mike’s birthday. Instead, we’re still on golf. I’ll admit it: I saw this picture several times […]
You knew it would happen. No one can be this hilarious and adorable (and talented) without landing in the Foxy Friday history books. Also, as a Pens fan, I know that life without Geno is a cold, sad place in which James Neal scores no goals. I could (and might) look at pictures of Evengi […]
Max Talbot will be the hero of this lockout. Flyer or not, we cannot live with him in this terrible time. Hold on, I can’t stop laughing. Max is one commercial away from being the Old Spice guy at this point. Sexy as all get out, no shame and knows that women love a guy […]
Lockout, Day 9 – Philosophical Questions If jeans are really good in this life, do they get to come back as Sidney Crosby’s jeans in the next life? (How about people named Pants, do they qualify?)
If I had a TARDIS, where would I go right now? If our office has security cameras, it would be worth it to get the footage of my reaction to this picture. It resembled being electrocuted. Somewhere, Mike Green is depressed. He hates it when Nicky goes out with better looking guys. Deb (@DLF1021), I […]
Yesterday was pretty great. What more could you want out of a vacation day spent shoveling mulch and mixing concrete? Me, some guy, Josie, some other guys and Rhea You should all come to the Kaboom Caps playground build next year, but only if you’re prepared to work your butts off. We had a great […]
