I should be going to the Caps first pre-season game tonight. I should be rocking the red and bouncing around the office like a shaken can of soda. Instead I am despondent, miserably face-down on a couch wearing an ugly Christmas sweater while “All By Myself” plays on a loop. When what I really want […]
With the NHL lockout looming over us like that creepy guy at work always looking over your shoulder at your computer, we’re starting to worry. A large part of our anxiety is that if the NHL does lockout, we will be denied a new shiny batch of Foxy Fridays to choose from. And that is […]
Oh wait… He was born in Sweden. Since that won’t work, I guess we’ll just have to settle for “Captain.” This is my Captain face. Today, the Avalanche made history by making the 19-year-old the youngest captain in NHL history. Take that, Sidney Crosby. Landeskog is 19 year, 286 days old – 11 days younger […]
Suddenly there is a deluge of proof that hockey players believe this season will happen. Every time a bell rings, Intern Jeff Skinner does a squat. Oh wait, everyone does squats. It’s a Foxy Friday party in the gym. Video: Intern Jeff Skinner has great legs (bonus: James Neal) This is my serious face. There’s […]
Another day. Another video from Camp BioSteel. Nealmobile! FINALLY! We were beginning to wonder about him…. He looks like he just woke up and hasn’t had his Paul Martin omelet yet. Get that boy a bagel, stat. BTW – Love that guy’s stank face on the right. It’s as if he realizes he’ll never be […]
Maybe I got a little too excited about Stamkos yesterday, because Camp Biosteel’s Day 2 video is the Tyler Seguin Show. For the record, I’m not complaining. But where is Marshall? I was promised a puppy. Oh jeez. Okay. Fair trade. Stop. I surrender. Sorry to Segs, but he’s not the true highlight of this […]
I’ve been sitting here for 15 minutes trying to think a safe-for-work way to describe this. The best I could do is a photo play-by-play of me, earlier today. Enjoy. Someone posts that a Camp Biosteel video is up: The video opens with Steven Stamkos doing something so extraordinary that it can only be described […]
We all know that hockey players are foxy. I mean, why else would we devote an entire blog day to them? Also foxy – the same hockey players with puppies. Seriously. I double dog dare you to find anything foxier. (Don’t even try. Because you won’t.) This week’s Foxy Friday is dedicated to those furry […]
With summertime and real-life work responsibilities and vacations, things have been a little slow around the WUYS office lately. We’re running at like 50%, not able to post as much as we want and Intern Jeff Skinner is totally being a slacker. He thinks he’s all hotshot with his new fancy contract. We don’t care, […]
For this week’s edition of Foxy Friday, I decided to jump in the WUYS TARDIS and go back in time to honor one of the foxiest (and talented) NHLers of all time… Steve Yzerman The former Detroit Red Wing and current GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning is a legend. Plain and simple. And if […]
Intern Jeff Skinner here. Jeez, I thought it was tough to get a word in during the regular season. If Landeskog could keep his shirt on, maybe we’d have some bandwidth left! Ahem, as I was trying to say… I signed a $34.35 million, 6-year contract. Not that anybody cares, because Crosby is doing something […]
So your team didn’t get Parise, Suter, Nash, Weber or any of the other u/r free agents rolling around in their money this summer. It’s not over yet. Bobby Ryan still needs a home. from thisyearisouryear.tumblr.com If you haven’t heard a rumor about B-Ry being traded to your team, then you’re the only one. Red […]
ACK! Chuck and I have been so busy at our real jobs that we’re late in posting some of the very best stuff I’ve ever seen from a hockey summer. Let’s start with the most important thing. I posted a photo of this, but that is not even close to the proper pedestal on which […]
Marc-Andre Fleury was handsomely married to his longtime girlfriend Veronique on Saturday. We bring you highlights from the Red Carpet Show, with your host Sidney Crosby. Sid: This is Captain Tiny Pockets, reporting live from… wait, what is that? Neal, Tanger, are you seeing what I see? James: Uhhhhhhhuh. Kris: Busy checking out #18 there, […]
We should be ashamed of ourselves. How is it that in the almost two years that we’ve been doing this feature, that we haven’t yet honored one of the foxiest hockey players of all time? Shame on us! Well, we redeem ourselves today by honoring the one…the only…the future NHL Hall of Famer….the Finnish Flash […]
Somewhere in the world, Jonathan Toews is playing golf [link]. It’s July. Work with us on the “news” here. It’s for a good charitable cause too – not just an excuse to dust of the old “Toews Does Squats” category. Okay, it’s arguably not a squat. But who says Captain Wonder Bread is not fun? […]
To say that Ryan Suter is having a good week would be an understatement. Wednesday was America’s birthday. Ryan being a member of Team USA and proud American, we’re pretty sure he threw a pretty raging bbq. Sparklers. Potato Salad. Inflatable Pool Beer Pong. The whole nine yards. Then on the same day, he signed […]
We just had to give a big shout out to WUYS guest blogger, Aaron, and his lovely bride Dana on their wedding this past weekend. Not only did they commit their lives to each other, but they also celebrated with this cake. They are true and loyal hockey/Kings fans. (Also, this cake looks really yummy. […]
While the NHL Awards are far from and probably never will be perfect, there are a few things that they get right. Take last night for instance. Last night, Patrice Bergeron FINALLY won the Frank J. Selke Trophy. All is right in the hockey universe. If you read this blog, or follow our twitter, or […]
Did everyone enjoy the Nickelback Convention last night? The Awkard Turtle Unfunny Comedy Tour? There were a few bright spots, like Will Arnett. Especially when he shanabanned Ovi for blocking Brooks Laich’s parking spot and sentencing him to ride on the back of Mike Green’s scooter. WHY CAN’T THIS BE REAL LIFE? While peering between […]
