Just when we need someone who can be counted on to do the right thing, enter Jonathan Toews.  With a puppy.

This is a photoshoot in support of Chicago Loves Pits, founded by Brian Bickell.  I presume they’re doing a calendar.  Between this and Pens & Paws, I’m really going to know what day it is in 2014.

This lucky lady’s name is Juliette.  Looks like she took a few minutes to come around, but not even she could resist.

More Blackhawks?  More dogs?  Yes.

Foxy Friday infinity.

Gah, I feel better already.

Foxy Friday: Brandon Bollig

Hello hi-res.

Why does Brandon get so many nominations?  Could it be:

– The perfect beard?

– Stylish outfits?

– His excellent taste in music?

– Putting a guy through the boards?

(Side note: Chicago fans, be nice. If a guy gets wrecked into your laps, maybe don’t pour beer on his head and steal his helmet. Even if it was funny.[story])

– Requisite attractive Hawks friends?

– Requisite spectacular Hawks bromance?

Original photo from Chicago Red Eye, not better than this art.

These two are on another level. [evidence locker]

– Or is this what makes WUYS readers so often cry Foxy?

Yeah, that’s the one.

So there you have it: Brandon Bollig.  Finally Foxy Friday.

Contrary to our ramblings of Canadian adoration, there are bonus points here for being American.  Especially from the south because, really?  A hockey player from Missouri?  If I find out he says “y’all,” I may give him a month of Fridays.

Americans for America

No hard feelings toward Red Sox fans about the World Series, right Brandon? Either time?

He’d probably just laugh and hug the Cup, leaving me to hold Chuck.  I could cheer her up with a little help from the best-in-the-business Blackhawks TV:

There are so many reasons Brandon Bollig deserves a Foxy Friday that we lost count at HE WAS A COOK.  As in a job, for money, not boiling water for mac & cheese. That would be his #2 talent, behind hockey, if we had any idea where to rank this:

Yes, boating.  Sorry, what ?  You want a close up of his tattoo and to know what it means?

Brandon explains it all.

Now stop interrupting.

Brandon played part of the last two seasons in the AHL and part with the Blackhawks.  You know, the good part where he won a Cup.  This season he’s got 2 NHL goals and assists, for a total of 4 career NHL points to go with his 14 NHL fights.  We love 4th liners.  He offers the Hawks a physical presence and is earning more ice time (not just fight time) every game [great feature], in hopes of expanding his role.

Excuse me?  No, you cannot see him do bicep curls using a puppyweight.  This is a serious hockey conversation, people.  We don’t just find pictures of, oh.

He does.  And we do.

Fine.  With that, Brandon Bollig joins an illustrious list of Blackhawks with his own Foxy Friday.  Life looks pretty good from the top.

Follow Brandon on Twitter (@Bollig87) for top comedy and on Instagram for all the pictures I couldn’t fit in this post.

PS: This might be the most fun I’ve ever had doing Foxy Friday, so love for Andrew Shaw (@shawz15er, Instagram) is also required.

In case you’re not hip to the Instagram, it is an online photo/video-sharing & social networking services that lets users take photos, apply a digital filter, upload them, and share them with the world.

There are well over 30 million accounts on Instagram, and while the majority of them seem to be teenage girls taking countless selfies making the duck face or people taking photos of their food (of which I am guilty), there are a few accounts that truly capture our attention – the NHL hockey player.

Their accounts aren’t run by some publicist or PR team.

It isn’t some slick marketing tool.

It’s just regular dudes, being silly and taking photos of their lives.

Instagram is foxy because it gives us, as fans, a snapshot into who these players are off the ice.

Instagram is foxy because it endears these super human athletes to us more.

Instragram is also foxy because it provides endless entertainment, in pictographic form.

Here are a few of our faves –

b_ryan9 – Bobby Ryan.  Lots of photos of adorable cats.

hank30nyr – Henrik Lundqvist. No explanation needed.

EMALKIN71_  – Geno Malkin.  Lots of photos of him being Russian and hilarious.

No52 – Mike Green.  All things hipster.

colbycohen36 – Colby Cohen.  A boy and his golden retriever.

bollig87 – Brandon Bollig. Beards. Babies.  Chicago.

jlupul – Joffrey Lupul.  Many photos of him looking exceptionally attractive. But sadly none from the Body Issue.

DD2527 – Dustin Penner. I love him so hard. So incredibly hard. Can’t we just date already?

harryz87 – Harry Zolnierczyk.  This photo alone is worth the follow.

tseguin92 – Tyler Seguin.  Recently reactivated.  Nearly not enough photos of Marshall.

It’s said that 58 photos and a new user is gained every second on Instagram.  So where are you, NHLers?

Time to get on your photo on!
