In other news…

So the Sharks are up 3-0 on the Red Wings.  And Stephanie Tanner is pissed!  That’s the same face Gator is making right now in her office, partially because she’s from the D and partially because Stamkos is not coming back to DC for her. Last night was the 2nd OT game of this round […]

Guy Boucher and the Apprentices.

Fast forward to 6 minutes and 28 seconds to get the actual point when the brooms multiply if you’re not familiar with this classic. Or watch the whole damn thing. It actually includes lightning which is quite fitting. And then the Capitals Meet Tampa Bay: And then the saddest death: In memoriam – the Washington Capitals […]

Have You Seen…

The Tampa Bay bus?  Yeah, it went this way.

Ok Caps … Let's Get This Party Started.

I’d even take one for the team too: And then there’s Ovi staring deeply into, into well, not my eyes unfortunately …

How to Feel Better

There’s a proverb that says night is always darkest before the dawn.  So the darkness is Mike Green’s undisclosed lower body injury that kept him on the bench toward the end of the 3rd last night.  Apparently he’s walking with a “severe limp” (gleaned from Twitter).  I know that he’ll cowboy up and play tonight […]

Waiting for Tonight

I have to back Dawn up on this one.  What the actual hell is going on, Caps?  Is it asking too much from you (Mike Green) to, um, I don’t know… PLAY at all during the 3rd period?  I know BB put you in time out.  He probably sent you to bed hungry.  And I’m […]

Wha' Happened?

It’s good to be Tampa Bay! Evidently this 1-3-1 defense is flummoxing everyone and I don’t really understand why the Penguins or the Caps are having a problem with it NOW. Hasn’t Tampa had it ALL SEASON? Is it a surprise NOW? Do they need a special decoder ring because I’m pretty sure Pierre Maguire […]

Mikey Monday: Had a Bad Day

Whenever someone messes up in a Caps game I think, “Thank God it wasn’t Mike.”  But last night, it was. I hung around Verizon for about 30 min yesterday after the Nationals game, deciding if I should spend way too much money on a hockey ticket or save it for Game 5.  If there is […]

Caps vs. Bolts – Game 1

In which I totally miss my chance to meet Steven Stamkos. Friday morning I hatch a master plan.  Gator is going to marry Steven Stamkos, move back to Florida and live near the Yuengling brewery in TB.  WUYS Remote HQ.  She takes one look at his presh face and agrees. “Gator, I am not kidding!” […]

We're Going to the Game!

EEEEEEEEEEEE!  Gator and I are going to Caps game tonight!  We just bought tickets on StubHub for $62 each.  WHAT?!  Good thing we were at work really early before everyone in DC wakes up and realizes Round 2 starts today. I only slept 4 hours last night and we’re both wearing blue.  Commence emergency maneuvers! […]

My Only Hope

Rest up.  You’re the only thing I have left to live for in the playoffs. PS: Internet FTW.

Adopt-A-Cause.

I really do. I was there last year. My caps went out in the first round. This was me last year. But I lived through it. And you will too. You are better than this and your men need you. Maybe not your team but there are others out there in the trenches fighting, that […]

Penguins, Take a Bow

I woke up this morning to find that yesterday did indeed happen.  The worst 24 hours of my sports life have left me pretty devastated, but my coworker and fellow hockey fan Gator left this on my desk: Fortified on sugar and sympathy, I feel strong enough to write something. It’s been quite a year […]

Look On The Bright Side.

If there is one. Last year, Kris Letang took the opportunity to take a long vacation and recharge his batteries. And given the ice time he had this year and the current situation with standing, he deserves one. And what does Kris Letang do on long vacations? He goes to hot, tropical locations. Get where I’m going […]

No answer.

Pants is not home today.  Maybe tomorrow.

If You're Going To Go There, GO THERE!

This is what you can buy on shop NHL.COM. This is what you SHOULD be able to buy at shop NHL.COM if I ran the circus. Just sayin.

We're Coming for You

It’s confirmed that Sidney Crosby will not ride the white zamboni onto the ice tonight for Game 7.  I needed to see this in writing before I gave up the hope.  That said, the Penguins are going to rock.  I am getting really excited to speed home from yet another work event in time for […]

Sorry Guys But …Too Much Gloom and Doom!

I was on a road trip with some girlfriends this weekend so I wasn’t able to get this post in right away but here it is: my happy dance at the Capitals winning – winning – ALL WINNING! It’s good to be a Capitals fan right now. So I am going to revel in that […]

Worry Warts Invade WUYS HQ. Solution: Your Magical Mojo.

Habs beat the Bruins last night to force a game 7…tonight. Pens face-off against the Lightning in game 7…tonight. Needless to say this is a very stressful day in the WUYS office.  Not even a breakfast of warm toasty bagels and whipped cream cheese courtesy of Intern Jeff Skinner could make us feel better. We’re […]

Almost Heroes

The Blackhawks’ game seven, 2-1 OT loss to the Canucks last night was absolutely heartbreaking.  It was also an incredible hockey game. Alex Burrows scored just 2:43 in, and that goal would stand for almost the entire night.  Every Canuck player seemed 10 feet tall at times – the Hawks couldn’t go through or around […]
