We’re getting close to the end, and the biggest, baddest beards of this year’s playoffs are vying for their chance to reach the ultimate goal: full growth. In this week’s BeardWatch, we give praise to the best of what’s still around in the Conference Championships, your current frontrunners for 2013 Playoff Beard of the Year, Jaromir […]
“We need a hero. We’re holding out for a hero to the end of the night. He’s gotta have a beard and he’s gotta have fuzz. And he’s gotta be fresh from the ice.” ~ Chuck & Pants It’s Conference Final time, and every hockey fan knows it’s often a new guy, a third-liner or […]
Never in considering playoff beards or writing this informative and newsworthy weekly feature did we expect to find that so many people share our affinity for ginger beards. You’re all into hockey, that’s enough to make us friends. This common captivation with facial hair takes our relationship to the next level. Since we’ve made ginger […]
Once again, we’ll be writing about playoff beards for the one, the only Puck Daddy. Check out our articles each Thursday! Love, C & P Stanley Cup Beard Watch: Exposing the NHL’s playoff scruff cheaters The old adage says that “cheaters never win. ” Maybe. But when it comes to hockey players with beards, […]
At the beginning of this lockout-shortened season, we made predictions for how the NHL standings would shake out come April 29th. Some of them were spot on. Others, not so much. (Thanks for nothing, Flyers!) Eastern Conference #1 – Chuck said Rangers, Pants said Penguins. Actual: Penguins Hands out of pockets – Sid is excited! AND […]
Well folks, it’s the final Friday of April, which means the final entry for the Foxy Friday Fan Challenge. This week, Brenda (@wishinonehand) wins again. We swear it isn’t nepotism, but when you submit good stuff, we have to share it. And this one is most defintely a keeper. Sadly, we don’t get to watch […]
Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Jared Staal will make his NHL debut tonight with the Hurricanes. That means Eric, Jordan and Jared will all be on the ice! Marc, who’s still recovering from an eye injury and the subsequent “I told you so!” of Mama Staal, made the trip with the Rangers. Trust he’ll be looking […]
Five days left left? NHL ’13, we hardly knew ye! Let’s be honest, though. The 2013 season has not been kind to all those we love. Some teams, after these grueling months, could use a break, a tan and another go at it next year. I’m not saying quit, of course. Feel free to ruin […]
The NHL wants to make up for the lockout, draw casual fans back into hockey and perhaps attract some new ones in a less turbulent year, because we’re still really mad at them. Right? Not now, girls. Er, we may be feeling warmer and fuzzier and playoff-ier… Seriously! Hold it together. Then someone says: from […]
We’ve been razzing a lot of “part-time models” around here lately. Maybe I could be a Part Time Reporter? For my real job, I do entertainment PR and was lucky enough to work with Joel Ward and the Caps on a special screening of the new movie 42. Joel wears number 42 in honor of […]
Week #2 of the Foxy Friday Fan Challenges come to us from one of the 1st WUYS fans, Jessica (@jfrancesw). We know it was hard for her to admit her love of David Backes, but we’re pretty glad she did it. GIVE US ALL THE PUPPEHS! I tried. I tried to resist. I tried to […]
Gabe Landeskog is featured in McDonald’s presents Time Out in Sports Illustrated, the same one that featured Intern Jeff Skinner a while back. We sent Jeff out of the office before watching this because he gets a little jealous. Jealous of Gabe, I mean. Not our reactions to Gabe, which are mostly me giggling […]
Dear NHL, If you do not use this song for any and all Stanley Cup Playoffs montages, then you’re just doing it wrong. It’s perfection. You know what? Just hire us and we’ll take care of it for you. Sincerely, Chuck & Pants
Remember that time in late January/early February 2012 we went a little crazy and named a bunch of New York Rangers at Foxy Fridays? Yea, well this guy wasn’t one of them. We’re idiots. Thank goodness, WUYS fan Brenda (@wishinonehand) is on top of it. She is this week’s Foxy Friday Fan Challenge winner! Check […]
Last night, my hockey/lumberjack boyfriend scored his 300th NHL goal. Rick Nash was all… And I was all… Then Rick Nash scored his 301st career goal. He was all… And I was all… Flyers did managed to score two goals – including one that one off of Jake Voracek’s face – but alas […]
The last couple of days have been crazy. Slammed at work. Prepping huge event. Plus 6-day work trip to Seattle. Just when I think that it is all too much, I see this photo and feel instantly better. photo courtesy of boston.com & Jessica Deitsch Thanks, Tyler Seguin, for just being you. We appreciate you […]
“Suite & Tie” has not grown on me the way “SexyBack” did, where I decided it was the best song since “Bye Bye Bye” and played it ten thousand times. That’s about to change. While I’m bringing back 2006 dance jams, can I resurrect SWAG for a second? (Then kill it again immediately?) What I really need […]
How can a hockey game be better than a hockey game? When there’s tailgating. Us on a nicer day (next time). The fantastic folks of @Section328 invited me and my friends to their pre-game party on our Raleigh Road Trip. Rainy, cold weather could not stop them from setting up the tent and busting out the Chicken […]
This really isn’t funny. When we hire interns, we expect them to work. When I drive all the way to Raleigh for the Bolts vs. Canes game on Saturday, 2/23, I expect Intern Jeff Skinner to play. Jeff is out of the Canes lineup with an undisclosed “upper body injury.” Don’t look at us like […]
Last Valentine’s Day, we brought you a crash course in finding the perfect date. This year, Chuck is rewriting her Match.com profile and under “What You’re Looking For,” she’s including this: Hey, they said be specific. So for another round of the Hallmark Holiday, we’re talking about What a Girl Wants – NHL Edition. Get […]
