NHL Awards: Who Should Win? Who Will Win?

Tonight’s the night. NHL Awards in Las Vegas! Bring on the attractive hockey players in impeccably fitted suits.  Bring on the awkward (and hilarious) red carpet interviews.   Bring on the D-list celebrities who can’t pronounce the winner’s name (Martin St. Lewis!). Here’s who we think is going to bring on the hardware… Hart (Lundqvist/Malkin/Stamkos) Should: Chuck […]

One Win Away…

So Game 5 didn’t exactly turn out as we hoped, but tonight, the Kings have the chance to close out the series (again) and win their first ever Stanley Cup. While we don’t like the Devils, we have to give them props for not laying down in front of the purple and black freight train […]

Our Post on Puck Daddy – SCF Preview: Best Beards

If you go seven months without seeing an acquaintance, you might greet them with, “Wow, you look so….” The word the Devils and Kings need here is hairy. These teams last met in October and it’s a wonder if they’d recognize each other now without the numbers on their backs. Each team has been presented with […]

Our Post on Puck Daddy – NHL Playoff Beard Watch: Unsung Unshaven Heroes

The stage is nearly set for the ultimate NHL showdown. The Devils and Rangers battle it out at center stage while the Kings wait in the offing for their opponent to be named. It’s a long, hard fight to be among the last teams standing. Every one inch is earned. This week, we salute the […]

Our Post on Puck Daddy – NHL Playoff Beard Watch: Alternate Captains

The letter “A” is awarded only to the best. Students with the highest scores. Products with the best quality. Restaurants with the cleanest kitchens. We all know Alvin didn’t lead The Chimpmunks just because he had the best dance moves. The very presence of an “A” denotes greatness. We love (OK, worship) our NHL team […]

Happy 40th Birthday (a little late) Martin Brodeur

Happy Foxy 40th Martin Brodeur! I might be a day late but don’t think I missed your game winning awesome play! Welcome to the Foxy 40 club with Teemu Selane, Mike Modano (before he retired) and some others. As you might have guessed, I’m not a really big fan of teams in general per se, I don’t […]

Our post on Puck Daddy – NHL Playoff Beard Watch: Kevin Shattenkirk, Jaromir Jagr and other freaky efforts

Back when we listed the most common playoff beard types, you may recall we included the “Maybe Don’t” category. This is the circular file where well-intentioned and enthusiastic efforts are stored until perfect attendance awards are handed out. ‘A’ for effort and all that. Since then we have admired the burgeoning beauty of many beards. […]

Our Post from Puck Daddy: Joe Thornton’s Sasquatch; Brian Boyle is Inigo Montoya

Check us out every Thursday through out the NHL Playoffs on Puck Daddy! April 19, 2012 –This early in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, beards are like second-round berths and regulation wins – shiny hopes and dreams. It’s barely Week 2 and, at best, most players are sporting only peach fuzz or the beard equivalent of […]

Battle of the Blog: Playoffs

Welcome to the NHL Playoffs.  Where all friendships are suspended and The Battle of the Blog really begins. The Bruins and Capitals begin their playoff series tonight.  Chuck and I have called a time out on fifteen years of watching “So I Married an Axe Murderer” and 3 AM pizza deliveries.  All those *N Sync concerts […]

We're So Excited…And We Just Can't Hide It!

EXCITING NEWS EVERYONE! Pants and I are proud to announce that during the playoffs, WUYS will be writing a weekly post on Puck Daddy!! It’ll be about the best (and worst) playoff beards, which is one of the things we simply adore about hockey players. I heart beards so much that I have been know […]

Foxy Friday: Craig Smith

Did you really think we’d forget? Okay, so for a minute there, we might have.  Here has just been so much work and life and commotion going on in the WUYS offices right now, that you can’t blame us. But fear not!  Your Foxy Friday is here! A bit late, but as they say “Better late […]

Foxy Friday: Nicklas Lidstrom

I was thinking on Tuesday of all the NHL teams and who had never gotten a Foxy Friday (yes, this is what I think about).  Your suggestions are spot on – we’ve never featured a Senator, Star, anyone from the Blues or the Wild.  Or… drum roll… the Red Wings.  (I’m not counting Mike Modano.) […]

Love, Liam

Last night, for the Penguins/Stars game on NBC Sports, the fox-tastic Liam McHugh and his excellent ties were nowhere to be seen.  Quelle Horreur!  With so many of our favorites players out, don’t tell us Liam is too.  Don’t leave us here with Pierre.  So I asked. And guess what?  Don’t worry! I laughed for […]

From: Pants, Re: Your Pants

Nicky B and iCarly hosted a hockey school yesterday.  First John goes on vacation with Mike, now this? [video]  It’s like an all-out offensive being launched against me and Gator. It’s great to see Backstrom doing anything these days.  We have not heard that he’s skating or even working out, though he looks energetic here. […]

Foxy Friday: Matt Duchene

If you haven’t realized it yet, Pants and I are sort of nerds (in a sexy, classy way of course).  So it it is only natural that we have a soft spot for nerdy guys. They are the ying to our yang.  The milk to our cereal.  The chips to our salsa. Now, when they […]

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.  

It's T-Shirt Time!

I wish I had more free time, so I could make up stuff like this. The Staal’s different haircuts… genius!  You can see/buy them all here: Skreened.com/refusehockey. Can I request a special edition that says INTERN over a brown-haired picture with a 53 on the back?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day, loves!  If you haven’t been enjoying the #NHLValentines suggestions on Twitter, we suggest you get cracking.  And if you don’t have plans for this evening, we’re offering a WUYS crash course in landing the perfect Valentine for 2012: 1) Find a wingman. 2) Find a cute guy. 3) Ask him out. 4) No, […]

Fired Up

Well the Blackhawks cannot win a road game and somebody’s feeling feisty. Joey’s jealous because Chuck never made him a Foxy Friday.  Jon was rubbing it in, so Ryane Clowe came over to represent. Tazer has two career fights, and he lost them both.  He’s a beast but I’m going to say that fighting Jumbo […]

Foxy Friday: Henrik Lundqvist

It’s official. We’ve done lost our minds. Commit us to the looney bin.  Get us some stylish straight jackets and lock us in that padded room with Justin Timberlake and his weird blond curly ‘fro. Why you ask? Well, first of all, three of the last six Foxy Friday have been New York Rangers.  Three! […]
