You know those movies where every single thing happens in one day and you’re thinking, “Right, who ever has a day like that?” Then in the middle of this: This happens: The trade was tempered by news on Wednesday that Jordan turned down a 10-year, $60 million deal with the Penguins. He had one year […]
For some teams, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are about building on a season’s worth of experience. For others, the post-season is about forgetting how you got there and starting over. Before we get to ahead of ourselves, let’s take a moment to appreciate the NHL teams whose seasons will end tomorrow. Buffalo has been giving […]
Intern Jeff Skinner scored his 20th goal of the season last night, and it was a beauty. Skinner had 31 last season during his Rookie of the Year campaign, but that’s what happens. More goals gets you more defense. So use your feet: But please, don’t use your feet to kick someone. With your skate […]
Hey, I’m back! Intern Jeff Skinner reporting for duty! No one around here seems to care, since Pants was on vacation and leaves again tomorrow for her honeymoon. Supposedly she doesn’t know where they’re going. Pretend to act surprised when it’s Pittsburgh. At least then she can’t keep telling me I should have closed my […]
Someone we know once posted this to Facebook: Safe to say that hashtag also applies to: Biebs skated with the Leafs [link] in a track suit because they didn’t have any Youth Medium hockey gear laying around. Look at his pants – I bet they’re rolled at the waist too. Phaneuf is all, “You said Disney princesses! […]
Someone leaked the photo shoot from the WUYS office Christmas card! As you already know, “We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.” (Seriously, that’s us.) Thanks to those who emailed/commented/Tweeted us this photo. We could not have lived with ourselves if we’d missed it.
Intern Jeff Skinner here – as in the ONLY ONE here. Where is everyone today? Jeeeeeez. One Caps vs. Pens game and the whole place needs a day off to recover. Since it’s Friday and we all know what that means… well, I’m just keeping this place open by nominating myself for Foxy Friday. The […]
Intern Jeff Skinner here, writing after my day filling in as Canes head coach. A belated Thanksgiving to all you Americans. I got left in charge of the office this week, while Pants and Chuck said they were home visiting their families. Even Cassy ditched me for some some American friends just because they had […]
Intern Jeff Skinner is off today to stand in as acting Head Coach of the Hurricanes after they fired Paul Maurice this morning. With a record of 8-13-4 and EStaal struggling mightily, this is less shocking and more standard than Boudreau going from the Caps. Staal has only 5 goals on on 89 shots – […]
We work Jeffy pretty hard around here, what with all the photocopying and heavy lifting and runs to the store to get our supply of twizzlers and mexican coca-cola. But today, we decided to give him the day off. Because when you work THIS hard, you deserve it. Go Jeffy Go!
Intern Jeff Skinner here, announcing an Independent Study that I’m taking as part of my job with WUYS. Why not do more work, eh? It’s not like they pay me. My objective (as clearly stated in my WUYS Thesis Outline) is to get Pants and Gator to come to Raleigh to see me. I went […]
Last night’s game between the Bruins and the Hurricanes was pretty good…. until this happened. PARTY IN THE PENALTY BOX! But this is a party you wouldn’t really want to go to. The food is bad. The champagne is flat. And someone clogged up the toilet. It was ugly, people. Oooglay. And like Nine […]
I went to work early this morning and put the Calder Trophy on Pants’ desk. It’s really shiny. Then I drew a (second) mustache on her Logan Couture poster and now I’m buying myself a huge breakfast on the corporate card. I’m not bragging, but I did win. And Vegas was really fun, even if […]
Apparently there’s an episode of The Office where Kelly yells, “Fashion show at work! Fashion show at work!” The WUYS girls are all over that. I’m excited for the NHL Awards, but frankly I can’t be bothered with what to wear. I’m just not that into fashion. And no, Pants, I am not calling Mike […]
Happy Birthday, Intern Jeff Skinner! Instead of having you write your own birthday post, we wanted to make sure you feel completely appreciated by the girls of WUYS. You are the best (um, only) intern we’ve ever had and while we don’t have to pay you, we can take a moment to remember the highlights […]
Hello. Intern Jeff Skinner is still here. I bring bagels. I held Pants’ hair while she got sick after that 24-hour implosion by all that she holds dear. What does an intern have to do to get a post around here? How about score 2 goals against France in the World Championships? Because I did. […]
Intern Jeff Skinner here, with a bone to pick. I went all the way to DC this week and Pants didn’t even come to my game. I know she’s busy and stuff, but if I can go to her office and move furniture, buy her lunch and spend an hour at the whiteboard outlining the […]
Let’s be honest. I got the internship here at WUYS because I was the only person qualified. I mean, what kind of Craigslist ad asks if you’ve ever competed in figure skating and hockey? How many people can say that? The TV stations like to show my figure skating highlights a lot. It’s kind of […]
Hello! Intern Jeff Skinner here, very excited to be writing my first post for WUYS. In case you missed it I scored two goals last night. We still lost 3-2 in overtime to the Devils, but that’s okay. I don’t want the girls thinking that I can do everything around here all by myself. Pants […]
Fire up your synthesizer! Here we are, post All-Star break and there are 67 days left in the regular season. Since we’re quite used to telling everyone what to do (and being ignored), here are a few things we’d like to offer for consideration: Penguins: If you stay at #2 in your division and end […]
