Last night was a heart breaker when the Caps lost in OT to Boston – I’m sure Ovi had this Nightmare: And Seidenberg tried to take Ovi out with this hit but he found that weebles wobble but they don’t fall down! If Ovi can knock Jagr into next year at the Olympics, you’ll have to try harder Siddy-bergy than […]
There is no accounting for taste in our household. Traitors abound. Mr. Cherrie is a hard-core Buffalo fan. But when I went to consult my bookie, I mean my oracle- the great swami Osiris Jones, man about town and counselor at law, when he’s not picking NHL play-off games for cat treats, much to my horror this is what […]
Welcome to the NHL Playoffs. Where all friendships are suspended and The Battle of the Blog really begins. The Bruins and Capitals begin their playoff series tonight. Chuck and I have called a time out on fifteen years of watching “So I Married an Axe Murderer” and 3 AM pizza deliveries. All those *N Sync concerts […]
I thought an all-consuming work event on the first night of the NHL Playoffs was a terrible thing. Instead it saved me from having to watch the Penguins blow a 3-goal lead and lose in OT to the Flyers. Even my phone and Blackberry died when it was 3-0 – I should have seen the […]
So when this campaign started the feedback was terrible so they adjusted it STAT because it was like the MasterCard ad, the Hockey Discover Card and “I Just Want My Pants Back” had a drunken three way, someone got pregnant and no one wanted to take responsibility for the monster that came of it. Hockey fans will […]
Hey Jumbo Joe … at least pick on someone your own size… Giving the West Coast some love and Mr. Cherrie too … for our anniversary – what better way to celebrate than seeing my beloved DDTBG in person! And on one of our favorite day of the year – FRIDAY THE 13th! Look out Vancouver – […]
EXCITING NEWS EVERYONE! Pants and I are proud to announce that during the playoffs, WUYS will be writing a weekly post on Puck Daddy!! It’ll be about the best (and worst) playoff beards, which is one of the things we simply adore about hockey players. I heart beards so much that I have been know […]
For some teams, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are about building on a season’s worth of experience. For others, the post-season is about forgetting how you got there and starting over. Before we get to ahead of ourselves, let’s take a moment to appreciate the NHL teams whose seasons will end tomorrow. Buffalo has been giving […]
Oh my God, they made it. The Washington Capitals are in the playoffs. Gator and I were extremely underdressed last night by wearing our 74 and 19 shirts in a swanky bar, but we still cheered and screamed. You can’t take us anywhere. Just when you want to be relieved for a minute, there’s still […]
If you weren’t watching the Penguins/Flyers game yesterday afternoon, you probably wondered what that noise was. It was the rest of us screaming. I could (and will) watch this all day. The amount of awesome cannot be expressed. Even Pierre is speechless. I wish they’d kept his mic live so we could hear Laviolette screaming. […]
Last night was not good for anyone. Sidney took a puck to the face. I’ve said “not the face!” many times, but never at such volume. Sid bled everywhere and then did what hockey players do best, let it stop and kept playing. Well, it didn’t totally stop. He will play tonight against Buffalo, a […]
I spent a portion of Saturday night fighting off a panic attack that the Caps had dropped to 9th place in the East. That was after Gator, Deb (@DLF1021) and I watched them blow a three goal lead to lose in OT on Friday night. Hockey is why I don’t keep snacks in the house, I’d […]
I simply have to vent this and get it off my, ah, proverbial chest ladies. As the resident Ovi fan and Captials fan, I know this will come as shock, but I AM SO MAD AT HIM, at them, at the WORLD and have been for some time and I just have to say and get it […]
It’s about that time – 20-24 games left to play and the pressure is on. Sure the Rangers lead the East by 7 points and have won 7 of 10 games this month. Detroit’s inevitable juggernaut hasn’t lost at home since the Clinton Administration. But if Chicago’s 9 game slide and subsequent 4-game wining streak […]
It’s time to predict the eventual winners for the 2011-2012 season, so we can look smart and important when spring rolls around. Or not. Last year we all picked some combo of the Caps, Blackhawks, Canucks and Penguins [link]. That 25% result is less than the chance that Intern Jeff Skinner’s going to take you […]
The October 3rd ESPN Magazine comes with this cover: The feature “Why Boston is Better than You” notes that the Bruins (and most NHL teams in general) do not use advanced metrics as a statistical model for designing teams. My favorite part: “The Stanley Cup they won last year, while a lovely capstone for Boston […]
Congratulations to the Boston Bruins and to Chuck!
I can be open-minded and empathetic – while I am rooting for Vancouver, I’m not blind that for Chuck and Cassy and some of our other loyal readers, this is a, uh, how shall a put this, more passionate endeavor. For me, I love the Stanley Cup Play-Offs right now because we are getting to see a […]
So I couldn't resist. It's the man of the hour with the game winning goal – the only goal for that matter – in game five of the Stanley Cup Finals for Vancouver! Maxim Lapierre! and Ooh lalalala Sisters! He’s not shy about taking his shirt off – thank god and he’s quite the tasty treat. It’s […]
Obviously my mind works like a Jackson Pollack painting. Throw shit on a canvas and see what sticks or I’ll tell you what you should be seeing. Sometimes it really just is the proverbial polar bear in a snow storm. Actually, one of these scary stares I thought figured how to make his way into […]
