Your Friday Moment of Zen
And because I’m not a complete crabapple: Pants’ new license Plate – AKA – the Shaggin’ Wagon! BANG BANG LETANG – let’s hope he get’s better soon because he’s getting Mike Green-syndrome.
An Open Letter To Ted Leonsis
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 […]
TGIF
When I get an email from my co-worker Shades with the subject line “Weird Things Happen in Vancouver Friday,” it’s safe to assume he’s been watching hockey clips. These are from Deadspin.com and almost make us like the Canucks. Blergh. Jonathan Toews, hug us! The best thing about this video? Bieksa and Kesler do […]
Uphill Battle
The emotional roller coaster that is the Washington Capitals delivered another Ovechkin overtime winner last night. They should give out blood pressure medication with programs. As I said after the Islanders games, we’ll take the point(s). But the 60 minutes of sloppy, uneven play and constant turnovers it took to get there are infuriating. When […]
Mail Bag
There are 857 million things I love about doing this blog, but the stuff you send us definitely earns the #1 spot. Happy Tuesday! Michelle deployed her daughter into enemy territory on Sunday in DC to take a few photos of… who else? I bet her daughter was sitting right next to me (and a […]
Two Days
TWO DAYS, people! James is ready. Are you?
Five Days
Coming to your TV, more of this face. Less of this mustache.
Well, s&*%.
Were you saying something? Like Viktor Stalberg hurt his shoulder last night, went to the locker room, then came back? That he’s not on the ice at practice this morning? Sorry, I no longer listen to injury reports. And I can’t hear you over the… Larger version of this photo, probably NSFW (unless you work […]
Seven Days
Your daily dose of James Neal, courtesy of Louise (@loulipops)! James Neal & Jared Boll – Roommates [video]. These two were rommates back with the Plymouth Whalers (OHL) and clearly still lurrrrve each other. There’s a moment in this video where Nealmobile scores in Dallas and hugs Sean Avery – NO GOD, GROSS! – but […]
Ten Days
Melissa (@melfior829) had a lovely idea – Countdown to James Neal’s NHL36. Maybe one picture a day? I think we can do that. As of right now… Can I actually wear this and get away with it? I’m serious.
Intern Jeff Skinner gets graphic.
You likes? I loves. I took some creative liberties but I really hope that Intern Jeff Skinner love it too.
You jump, I jump. Right?
The Detroit Red Wings set the NHL consecutive home game win record last night with 21 straight, edging out two teams (1929-30 Bruins and1975-76 Fyers) to claim the crown. Detroit also holds the record for consecutive road wins (12) [link]. Well la dee freakin’ dah. The Wings have only 3 home losses this season, the […]
Mikey Monday: Casino Royale
Caps Care Casino Night was Friday, and Mike was there. We were not. Damn. During the auction part of the evening, guests could bid on various high-risk scenarios with their favorite hockey players. Like a Segway Tour with Ovi, Brooks, Knuble and Sasha Fierce, or bowling with Carlzner, Ward and Hendricks. There is a bowling […]
Free parking at our office!
I like to think that if your car breaks down in Canada, you take it to a place like this. Stamkos, Eberle, Phaneuf and Spezza in the new commercial Nike “Clutch” truck commercial. Oh, Eberle. Checking himself out in the hubcap.
This is Your Captain Speaking
Yesterday, Kitkat wanted evidence of Mike Green driving his VW Bus. In his glasses, no less. Safety first! It’s like a week worth of Mikey Mondays so far. When I see a VW bus, I think of Little Miss Sunshine and start yelling “No one gets left behind!” and chasing after it’s running start. I […]
It's Alright, It's Okay.
Sid and the Pens held a press conference yesterday to prove that he still looks this good in a suit. Also to clarify the neck injury he was diagnosed with by an LA doctor – it’s a “soft tissue” injury, not broken vertebrae. He was treated in LA with injections to relieve the swelling and […]
On the Road Again
The Blackhawks kick off a nine game road trip in Vancouver tonight and guess who’s back? No big deal. Jonathan Toews suffered an injury to his left wrist on Jan. 21 vs. Nashville, then missed one game and the All-Star Weekend festivities. Maybe he was just worried about getting picked so late again. Patrick Sharp, […]
When they show a hockey player…DRINK!
All-Star Weekend is our 2nd favorite time of the year here at WUYS (behind the awkberg assemblage that is the NHL Awards) and since Pants is off on her honeymoon getting all tan, hanging with monkeys, drinking umbrella drinks and being all in lurve, it’s going to be really lonely around here this weekend. So to […]
Bruins in the Beltway
This afternoon, the Boston Bruins were honored by President Obama at the White House for winning the 2011 Stanley Cup. The President spoke for a bit, chided the city of Boston for having too many championship teams, called out Brad Marchand (“Little Ball of Hate? What’s up with that nickname?”), and posed with the team […]
We love Cabbie
How have I never seen this before? My favorite is Getzlaf – he cannot get a single word out. Even Crosby’s getting sassy.
