The last – and only – time I gave a rat’s ass about NCAA March Madness basketball was a) when Sidney Crosby was at the next table and b) I was lying. But this important bracket challenge had me excited: BarDown: Pretty Hockey Player Madness 2016 Until I tried it. And the problems began. Josi […]
To commemorate the week so far (and so I don’t have to go scrolling through Twitter in two years when I want to reference this), a post about two really important things. Jonathan Toews joined Twitter. I spent my drive to work trying to come up with a joke about how now, we all […]
Once upon a time there was an All-Star Weekend that reminded me how much I love hockey. Well, that happens every year. But this weekend, like so much of this season, I didn’t actually get to watch anything. GAH! What follows is the best I was able to mash up from Twitter and my imagination… […]
Who knew Winnipeg was such a helpful city? In addition to being the hometown of Jonathan Toews (and others), they held an actual vote to determine the best looking member of their NHL team. Canada: Using Democracy for Real Things! The result probably surprised no one except Evander Kane, who retaliated with a sweatpants-based protest, […]
47 feet of snow on the ground. People jumping off their roofs into snow banks. Wind chills of -20F. While I suffer through this historic Boston winter, I got a little something to warm me (and you) up. (full disclosure: I am writing this post after a copious amount of sake. I am not responsible for my actions. […]
I can’t resist hockey players and kids, and no one can resist Girl Scout cookies. Not the Blackhawks, not Andrew Shaw and not Jonathan Toews. Video: #WhatsYourGoal: Alexis wants to sell cookies to Jonathan Toews In the video, Captain CharmingPants is back, and this time, he irons. Which is the only thing on Earth he isn’t […]
If you keep losing to the Capitals and making me look like a chump in front of important people (like my boss, @raedanda, Mike Green, etc.), the second best way to my heart is through tiny skates and giggling. Yeah, I’m a sucker. Check out video of Crosby & friends surprising the Little Penguins […]
In his latest and greatest Valentine’s Day video, Cabbie gets Tyler and Jamie to prank their mothers by announcing they will propose to their respective girlfriends on Valentine’s Day. Girlfriends their mothers have never met, because they aren’t real. We here at WUYS hold a few truths to be self-evident: 1) Cabbie for President – of […]
I don’t know if this break in our server problems will last, so I will post this quickly! Thanks to everyone who sent it to us – it was worth waiting for. Tyler Seguin and Jordie Benn made a Super Bowl bet: if Seattle lost, Tyler would have Jordie’s megabeard. If New England lost, Jordie […]
I wrote 90% of this before the the All-Star Game started last night, and changed very little afterward. My opinion was the same: Best ASG weekend ever. Sure the setup is wonky, the events kind of hokey. Who cares? It’s supposed to be fun, and dammit, it was really fun! Thanks to the players […]
Halloween has arrived a little early for a few of our favorite teams. In the world of the 24 hour Tumblr news cycle, these guys came to party. Letang is always going for it on Halloween, though we must point out the Mad Hatter is not a prince. Disney, yes (so close!), but next year, let […]
John Tavares wants to control his emotions: That is, assuming he has any. I certainly can’t control mine – this ad campaign gives me the stupid giggles, defeating the obvious intention to hypnotize me with John’s voice. I half-heard it while dozing off, but I’m suddenly inspired to buy a lot of shaving cream […]
I need to ask a serious question, and the appearance of this twice in a row in our Twitter timeline suggests the time is right. If you’re new to this blog, I understand it’s not where you might look in defense of the female sports fan. I hope you all understand that we’re here to […]
What is life with all these PUPPIES?! Bless the Blackhawks, every one. 2014 Calendar Shoot Teaser – Chicago Loves Pits Warning: Video guaranteed to ruin your productivity and any current search for a real-life boyfriend. 100% increase in likelihood of pet adoption. They really know how to dole it out in increments, these guys. *sigh*
I hate everything lately, but Jonathan Toews is making a real effort to turn the blog around. First he hugs a puppy, then he and Kaner do one of the best interviews I’ve ever read: Kane and Toews Face Off – ESPN Magazine What is this? Is this dancing? The story about Kane waking Toews […]
You guys are relentless. GIVE US PUPPIES! I think this wins for the most emails, comments, pings, forwards and IMs I’ve ever gotten saying POST THIS NOW. Okay, okay! We don’t just sit around the house and blog, you know? (Yesterday I totally did.) Just when we need someone who can be counted on to […]
You may recall a while back when I got really excited about this. Like whooping, twirling and scaring Intern Jeff Skinner excited. (We don’t let him work the Halloween Party.) Then yesterday, more screams were heard ’round the world as Lindsay and Alison whipped these around the internet. Alison found this teaser: And she […]
Thanks to everyone who sent this to me while I was at the county fair last night. My reaction noise definitely startled some livestock. James Neal appears to have extended his tattoo to a full sleeve. All together now… “UGH.” Okay, that was just me. And what I really said was, “CoughMikeGreencough.” I don’t hate it […]
Remind a girl – how did we have fun before Twitter? While this picture is funny (and by funny I mean ALARMING and BACK UP, HONEY), the best part comes from our friends at @Section328: Now, now. I like TSwizzle and have been known to bust into a sing-along at the top of my lungs. […]
Sneaker Ball, the annual charity event that encourages sports to enhance the lives of children, was held last night in DC. Guess who won an award? The JB (James Brown) Impact Award goes to an athlete who “has demonstrated outstanding involvement in the community and has used sport to positively impact the area…. Through actions […]
