Shut the front door. Even Charlie Sheen isn’t winning like the Blackhawks – 6 in a row with 25 goals scored in that stretch. I can’t not post these! For some reason, it makes me want to sing this: Also the Sharks are on a crazy tear, and that’ll get a post this weekend. They’ve […]
Who do I have to know to go to this? I will be in Maryland! I hope Kris Versteeg will be there with a special Presidential edition rap. From NHL.com: President Barack Obama will honor the 2010 Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks during a ceremony at The White House on Friday, March 11, at 3:00 […]
So busy… can’t stop working… WAIT. Jonathan Toews was named the NHL’s February Player of the month. Huzzah! FIRST STAR — JONATHAN TOEWS Toews led all scorers in February with 21 points (six goals, 15 assists) and posted a +13 rating as the Blackhawks (34-23-6) collected points in 10 of 13 games (8-3-2) and climbed […]
It turns out The Force is not strong in this one. It only works on Jonathan Toews. For all my attempted mind control, the Blackhawks won yesterday but so did all the teams I wanted to lose. Alas, two points are two points and it makes the win even more important. It certainly didn’t come […]
I love the playoff race. I love teams making a last, desperate stretch, like diving headfirst into home plate for that go-ahead run (to mix my sports metaphors). Most years, the defending Cup champ makes the playoffs (last 10 years = 1 miss: Carolina ’07). In ’08 and ’09, it was the same two teams […]
So Patrick Kane likes his booze and his bunnies? What is wrong with that? I’ll wear a costume if it will get me a little bit of this and a little bit of that! Furbies rock! I don’t judge either. But if it starts interfering with your play, then maybe we need an intervention. Here […]
The Blackhawks needed a big weekend and they got it. Sunday it took a shootout for them to beat the Pens 3-2 and claim the desperately needed extra point. It almost wasn’t enough. Monday, the Hawks ended up down 2-0 in the first period to St. Louis. In the intermission, Captain Serious went all Miranda […]
Dawn and I are going to our first Caps game tonight in San Jose. Dawn will be wearing the aforementioned Ovechtrick head-to-toe ensemble. And she’s bringing me Caps gear. I might even wear it. At the very least I have consented to a red & white hoodie (from BU, gotta keep some of my dignity). […]
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville has been hospitalized with an undisclosed (non-cardiac) medical condition [link]. Coach Q won the Cup with the Hawks last year. He also won as an assistant coach with Colorado in in ’96, and has been head coach of the Avs and Blues. Always the Moustache Master, Coach Q played 7 seasons […]
While I’m sending positive energy all over the NHL lately (Pens, Tanguay, Green…), I don’t want to leave out the Blackhawks. The Hawks won 4-1 over Edmonton last night – they had to. They’re 5-4-1 in the last 10,which is not going to get you through the tight pack at the middle of the Western […]
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 […]
Ok, was anyone watching the Chicago Blackhawks and the Philadelphia Fliers last Sunday? Because this is a priceless little nugget of gold. Not because it was a rematch between the Stanley Cup teams of last year but because Marty Turco mocked Pierre Mcguire on national TV – NBC to be exact. Mike Milbury plows over him between periods […]
Jonathan Toews scored his 100th career goal on Sunday. Way to go, JTown! Blackhawks TV did a nice little “Milestone Minute” on the event [Video] and it made me teary-eyed. He is the 4th-youngest Blackhawk to reach the century mark… wait. WHAT? Jonathan Toews is 22 years old and three guys beat him to the […]
Remember way back on November 15 when I posted my NHL All-Star Game starting lineup? Well 4 out of my 6 were just named All-Stars by the general fan voting! Once again, I control the Universe. Mikey was not on the list, but I’ll take Duncan Keith FTW! Also, Flower makes me a little, uh… […]
Jonathan Toews is a stud. Two weeks? Hell no. He’s be back on the ice right now vs. Los Angeles because he didn’t get the message that Steph and I cancelled our trip when he got hurt. So we’re here, and he’s there. Communication fail. We should be sitting with his mom in the box […]
Watching the AWESOME Winter Classic and Fabulous Washington Capital’s 3-1 Win over the Pens holding whining Slew-Foot Sid pointless MADE MY NEW YEAR! Welcome 2011! But the bizarre camera angles and annoying comentary from NBC made me wish my fellow WUYS tweeters had access to the CBC feed. Because Mr. Cherrie and I would have rather watched our lovely Canadian’s […]
Today’s stories are brought to you in order of importance. No. In order of who I think is hottest. (So basically like every day here, right?) 1) Crosby’s point streak ended last night at 25 games and I bet Dawn was ringing a church bell in Spokane. Sid was pouty-pants after the game, probably as […]
I never did a Christmas post this year and now holiday candy is 75% off at Walgreens and they’ve finally stopped the music loop in the mall. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. If you live on the east coast, I hope you enjoy shoveling. Until next year… I didn’t make this, but I […]
My power to influence the universe continues to impress – I pick Ryane Clowe for Foxy Friday and what happens? He scores 2 goals vs. the Blackhawks on Saturday night and singlehandedly wins the game! He’s named NHL First Star of the Week! I should start gambling. Alas, I am mad at Ryane because he […]
This is the best day of my your life! Two commercials featuring the comedy duo Toews & Kane have been located by our crack detective team. Between these and all the Ron/Hermione love in the midnight show of Harry Potter, I am spaz-happy. First, a HUGE thanks to reader Jackie (now officially WUYS BFF) for […]
