Celebrate with this ridiculous goal Patrick Kane scored in the Hawks 8-1 win against the Dallas Stars last night. Are you kidding me?! You know somewhere in Siberia, Peggy’s pissed he didn’t ask Kaner how he scores from the right side.
We should get paid to test the critical mass of Twitter’s servers because when things like this happen, we do it for free. Jonathan Toews in today’s SPLASH Magazine from the Chicago Sun-Times. Is he in the shower? What kind of newspaper insert is this? It’s like the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog you have to be 18 […]
This news is a little old, but I was waiting for Toews’ black eye to look like guyliner before I posted a photo of him. It’s so late-90’s Rob Thomas, if y’all were even alive back then. Tazer got the shiner, of course, fighting Chuck’s LT boyfriend Joe Thornton on Friday. I looked up from […]
When WUYS is suddenly mentioned in 47 new Tweets in an hour, there’s only one possible reason: Workout video. When 46 of those messages are in ALL CAPS, I know without reading: It’s the Blackhawks. Here’s the video. It takes an extra moment to load, presumably because the internet paused to fan itself back into consciousness. […]
The surefire way to break a streak is for me to post about it, so apologies in advance to the Sharks and/or Blackhawks. Blame NHL.com, they did it first. The San Jose Sharks are 6-0. Surprised? So is Patrick Marleau. HA! Actually, Patty always looks that way. But we are impressed. Nine goals in six […]
When it comes to the Blackhawks, it’s not easy to be the prettiest anything. You’re well-dressed… till Patrick Sharp walks by. Feeling reliably heroic… then you see Jonathan Toews. Rugged? Try Viktor Stalberg. Good hair day? Ruined by Brent Seabrook. You can’t even walk a dog without being upstaged by Duncan Keith and forget being […]
Roster photos are like a walk through a mine field. Never have so many attractive guys looked like they were kidnapped, stuffed in a trunk and taken to a Walmart Portrait Studio. Remember that one parent with the plastic comb that “fixed” everyone’s hair on school picture day? That parent was absent from the Penguins […]
This is a few days old, but the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. It doesn’t hurt if you’ve got a smile like Flower’s, either. Also doing good work for the holidays – the Blackhawks, helping the Greater Chicago Food Depository [link]. Jon’s getting way too much hand-in-pocket […]
An interview in English for a Russian TV station that’s dubbed in French? Can’t hear over the sound of Viktor Stalberg’s perfection anyway. Go ahead and watch it in full screen glory. The light from the camera gets a little warm toward the middle, I think. This director should tell Viktor he can take […]
While the East Coast was stockpiling batteries and Twizzlers on Friday in anticipation of Frankenstormpocalypse, the Chicago Blackhawks and friends were playing in the Champs for Charity hockey game. Photos from the Chicago Tribune They look as happy as I feel, and I wasn’t even there! All it takes is a little hockey. Even Jon […]
Well look who got a haircut: It’s because I’m going to the Canadian Embassy for a work thing today, and he wanted to look all clean-cut and charming. So if you don’t hear from me… Back to Tazer, as this this kind of thing is big news these days. Until MG52’s hair makes a public […]
Guest post time! (And Pants fixed her broken photos, sorry.) Hi, I’m Jess! You may remember me from such WUYS guest appearances such as Up Close and Personal and Our Friends Party With the NHL. Pants and Chuck have once again let me take over their blog so that I can drop a little ‘Hawks fandom on y’all. My […]
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 […]
We will have some firsthand (sadly not my hands) reports from the Blackhawks Convention going on right now in Chicago. Unless this photo causes the end of the interwebs. Oh yeah. It was nice knowing you.
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? […]
Happy 24th birthday, Tazer! Captain Fill-in-the-Blank, fearless leader of the Chicago Blackhawks, is celebrating a birthday. Do you think he eats cake? I think he does today. A whole cake, in front of the TV, yelling at the Flyers/Devils game sounds about right. I might do the same – you know, in solidarity. Then we […]
If I were ever on a sinking ship, I’d want to look across the deck and see Jonathan Toews in charge of the lifeboats because you know everyone is getting to safety in a single file line holding their toothbrush and enough money to call home. I do go on about Tazer, particularly the game […]
At Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon in Austin, TX, every Sunday night they play Chicken Sh*t Bingo. It’s exactly what it sounds like – feed a chicken, turn it loose on a tabletop bingo board and wherever it takes a crap, that number goes on the board. I’m pretty sure this is also how the NHL […]
It’s getting hot in here, and Brendan Shanahan’s phone was ringing off the hook yesterday. Three players face disciplinary hearings for offenses committed during Saturday’s run of show… 1. Carl Hagelin Former Foxy Friday and Ryan Gosling stun- double Carl Hagelin is not known for throwing elbows and getting dirrrty. But the playoffs make people […]
The Blackhawks have won five in a row, including an OT nail-biter against Vancouver last night. Their next game is Sunday vs. Nashville – a big one for playoff position. Too bad they’re going to have to do it without Duncan Keith: No question that’s a dirty play. Daniel Sedin struggled back to the bench, […]
