Last night’s game against the Kings wasn’t exciting for me since they lost and looked lost on the ice especially when Captain DT. Brown went out for a bit with a sore ouchie. (not minimizing his pain, just borrowing BB’s explanation for hockey player’s injuries) The only bright spot was an interview with Kopitar from the sidelines with Heidi […]
pew pew pew for good luck?!? The Blackhawks really need to make it to the playoffs. Like for realz. If they don’t, Pants will seriously cry.
I haven’t done a Foxy Friday is forever. The regular season is thisclose to being over and it’s about time we talked Ryan Kesler. Kesler is getting a lot of support for NHL MVP this season (not the least of which is from former Foxy Friday @buccigross). He scored a hat trick last night to […]
By the Power of Gray Skull! Evidently God decided to touch not only Drew (“It might be a huge one”), she decided to touch a couple of LA Kings last night (oh please – I would so like to switch places for one day!) and put them into the plaaaaaay ooooooffffsss! Let me hear a […]
When they say a picture is worth a thousand words, they mean one like this: Jonathan Toews, bless you. I can barely keep my lunch down for all the stress I feel over the Blackhawks. The OT loss in Montreal, with JT in the box, felt like a kick in the gut (PK Subban, never […]
You should all read this NHL.com article that runs down every single team and where they stand with 2-4 games left in the regular season. I held my breath the entire time. Oh the East. I really want Carolina to make this one… Intern Jeff Skinner playoff reports, people! If the Pens can please stay […]
Somebody is starting early. The Nashville Predators defensemen have a challenge going to see whose playoff beard will turn out best. Is that premature when you haven’t clinched a playoff spot? Or is it simply pointless because Shea Weber already looks like this? This photo is a few days old, so it’s even bushier now. […]
Intern Jeff Skinner here, with a bone to pick. I went all the way to DC this week and Pants didn’t even come to my game. I know she’s busy and stuff, but if I can go to her office and move furniture, buy her lunch and spend an hour at the whiteboard outlining the […]
Last night’s hockey was uglier than Chris Pronger in a vintage Ducks sweater, so this morning I need something to pick me up: I don’t have to tell you how happy this makes me. Not just the shooting and the stickhandling, but Sid is skating pretty hard. Please please please… okay, I can’t say it. Just keep […]
The only team hotter than the Pens (won 4) right now is the Predators (won 6). And take a look at this: I get so nervous! There are a ton of games on the slate tonight that could change the look of this by morning: Chicago vs. Boston, Dallas vs. Phoenix, Vancouver vs. Nashville, Los Angeles […]
Looks like Matt Cooke definitely WON’T be getting the Lady Byng Trophy this year… Cooke has been suspended for the remainder of the regular season and for the 1st round of the playoffs for elbowing NYR defenseman Ryan McDonagh in the head in yesterday’s game. Not only does he let down his team, he’ll also […]
Ovi to ‘rest’ so he is sitting out against Philly? wha…? He’s had an ‘ailment’ for the last couple of months and they figure now is a good time for him to heal and be ready for the play offs? OK. SRSLY? Every one who reads this blog knows I love Ovi. And I wouldn’t […]
Let’s be honest. I got the internship here at WUYS because I was the only person qualified. I mean, what kind of Craigslist ad asks if you’ve ever competed in figure skating and hockey? How many people can say that? The TV stations like to show my figure skating highlights a lot. It’s kind of […]
I love the playoff race. I love teams making a last, desperate stretch, like diving headfirst into home plate for that go-ahead run (to mix my sports metaphors). Most years, the defending Cup champ makes the playoffs (last 10 years = 1 miss: Carolina ’07). In ’08 and ’09, it was the same two teams […]
