Not to worry, friends. I’m okay. No really, I am. I have to admit it was pretty rough for me there for a while. Last Saturday, there I was – curled up in the fetal position, buried under a mound of covers, empty box of coconut milk ice cream sandwiches by my bed. My beloved […]
I can’t make an alliterative joke about Tuesday without wanting tacos! The Pens won 3-2 last night on a sweet baby barbecue sauce goal from Tyler Kennedy. [video] If you’ve never watched a Pens game with me, TK gets some of the loudest cheering. He is my Who from Whoville, wha-hoo-na. LePretty had 2 assists […]
Don’t you give me that look, Jonathan Toews. Because I’m giving you one right back. You’re close. You’re so close you’re RIGHT THERE. I know it’s not saying much you only have 4 games to work with. The last two games have been heartbreakers and the thought of tomorrow being the end for the Hawks […]
The Caps lost a tough one yesterday to Brandon Dubinsky’s mustache, but I don’t think that hideous accessory has another game in it. Mike has 3 assists in 3 playoff games. He’s also averaging 22 minutes of ice time. Not bad for missing all those games, eh? The Caps took twice as many penalties as […]
This week’s beard update. Here’s where it stands. The Sedin’s are disqualified because they always have one and it’s always groomed. Shea Weber started too early but I’ll include him solely because of its sheer awesomeness but he’s out of the running and same goes for George Parros. And believe it or not, there is actually an attractive […]
Just when I said I couldn’t love him more? *sigh*
Unfortunately Robot Chicken won’t let you upload the clip so you have to follow the (link) but it was Drew Doughty ALL NIGHT LONG! Chang- Ching! I couldn’t stand it last night! If the puck was anywhere near Drew it went in! He was the second star in the NHL behind Pavel Datsyuk; he tied the franchise record with an […]
Kaner’s Stanley Cup Pants-Off Dance Off: Captain Serious – aka Jonathan Toews does an interview SHIRTLESS: Out and about in LA with Drew, Jarret and Matt from the LA Kings … YEOW! Drew looks Smokin’ HOT! And Scooter MaGoo …
One of THE best analysis of Timmy Thomas and his unorthodox style. Totally spot on. From NHL.com (Goalie matchup: Canadiens-Bruins) Justin Goldman chooses Tim Thomas, Boston Bruins:Tim Thomas is a true goaltending enigma. Everything he does is the complete opposite of what today’s elite butterfly goalie is taught to do. He is the world’s finest “read-and-react” goaltender and […]
I’m not getting too excited over the Game 1 victory in Pittsburgh, because Kenny Rogers says you never count your money while you’re sitting at the table. But there was definitely some screaming last night (aside from cries of anguish over the Blackhawks) because I do get excited over strong starts and shutouts. James […]
I can’t bare to look. The last thing I remember was Ovi stabbing at the puck like a fat girl trying to the grab the last cupcake at happy hour at Cupcake Royale and believe me, I KNOW because that is usually ME! And trust me, you don’t want your fingers anywhere between me and the last […]
And if both Drew Doughty and Kris Letang weren’t both in the play-offs, I’d suggest that either of them – oh hell they could take turns! – were the ones tickling me and I was the kitten! All my boys are in!
40 years is a loooong time to wait for a shiny silver cup called Stanley. But apparently, my beloved Bruins won’t have to wait much longer thanks to the interweb…and apparently the SkyNet computers. Or SkateNet, as I like to call it. According to sports simulation website Whatifsports.com, the Killer B’s will win the cup […]
Time to skip school, call in sick to work, cancel your friendships and stock up on canned goods. It’s playoff time. I’m wearing my Crosby jersey to work in DC and the Red Wings fan in my office can’t look at me. And there’s this: We know you’re ready for tonight – for yelling at […]
Chuck and I are kicking it Miss Cleo-style and find we’re really on the same page about Round 1 of the Playoffs. EASTERN CONFERENCE No.1 Washington Capitals vs No.8 New York Rangers Chuck: Capitals. Because I like way more guys on the Capitals than I do on the Rangers. Pants: Capitals. I have always hated […]
Mike Green is ready to go. He was in, then out, in, out for Saturday’s game against Florida – and as much as we love to see him play, there was no reason. Wait till Wednesday because it is on now. In past years, Mike has rocked the mohawk. We hear through the grapevine that […]
Every year when the playoffs arrive, I feel like the dad in A Christmas Story opening his Major Award. Stress, joy, surprise, fear and jealousy all in a big wooden crate. We encourage you to take today and tomorrow to relax. Deep condition your hair, take a yoga class, hug a tree. Because Wednesday is […]
Right now I feel like this: With a little bit of this: all for meeeeeeeeeeeeee Resulting in quite a lot of this: Thank you, Minnesota Wild for giving me (hopefully) three more rounds of Blackhawks cheering before I have to root against them in the Pens vs. Hawks Cup Final of my dreams.
This is me, right now, over the Blackhawks loss to the Red Wings. I’d tell you what I think of the Red Wings but I’m pretty sure I’d be sequestered for their safety. So please, pleasepleaseplease let everything go my way because I’m a bad loser. I mean worse than Crosby. And the only other […]
Back in October, everyone here at WUYS placed their play-off predictions and I just have to say the only one who is 100% correct so far is, ah … drum roll, please … ME. (link) Capitals won the Eastern Conference and the Vancouver Canucks ran away with the Western Conference. Am I proud of that last prediction? […]
