Hat Trick Hotties

Okay, it’s Foxy Friday every day this week.  And it’s raining hat tricks!  Eric Staal and Jonathan Toews both lit the lamp 3 times each last night… whew!  I am spent. EStaaaaaaaaal, bless your almost-ginger heart.  3 goals (2 on the PP, 1 game winner), 2 assists, +4, 6 shots and a block. You know […]

Squats are the New Black

I don’t want to steal anyone’s thunder on Foxy Friday, but Jonathan Toews does.  We asked him to give someone else a minute, but Jon just smiled and did another set of squats.  How are we supposed to compete with that?  Squats are JT’s secret fangirl-destruction device, so we’re creating a category for them here.  […]

Foxy Friday: Patrick Sharp

Wait, I picked a Blackhawk last time!  And I’m wearing a Toews shirt today.  But some choices are just… WELL OBVIOUSLY.  There are several definitions of “foxy” around here, and one person fits them all: Patrick Sharp has scored 8 goals in his last 7 games and is tied for the NHL lead in goals […]

Best Commercial Ever?

Remember when I got all worked up about Jonathan Toews doing squats for the new NHL ad campaign?  Well it gets better.  JT sleeping on the bus.  This is so cute it makes my ovaries hurt. Thank you to snowsoldier99 who actually videotaped her TV while it was playing this.  That’s the kind of dedication […]

Newsies!

Not the epic movie musical, just the stories that I felt like sharing today… Jonathan Toews took a puck to the face last night.  I yelled “NOT THE FACE!” so loud the neighbors thought I was watching Top Model. I’d prefer he not get hit anywhere, but let’s leave the facial sacrificing to Duncan Keith.  […]

Lunchtime Poll: Fashion vs. Passion

What’s the consensus on wearing gear for a player you love on a team you hate?  I have zero problems we’re at Toews shirt, since they’re not even in the Penguins conference.  And if I were famous, I think Taser would wear a shirt with my name on it.  But what about Washington?  When Dawn […]

Foxy Friday: Jonathan Toews

This is your Captain speaking.  We’re ringing in the start of the new season with one of the best things about last season: Jonathan Toews.     HELLO NURSE. Jon’s about 15 years old (okay 22), Canadian of course, and enjoys eating all his vegetables, playing country music on his guitar and taking long walks […]

We're Calling It

It’s our favorite time of year –  time for wild predictions that will make you a chump in April.  We have consulted the shine of Barry Melrose’s hair and cast leaves in a bowl of Jeremy Roenick’s tears.  And now WUYS brings you… Conference and Stanley Cup Champ predictions, 2010-2011 Chocolate Iced predicts: Eastern Conf. […]

We Will Become Unconscious

Well, most of us anyway.  The NHL debuted their new ad campaign over the weekend: Questions Will Become Answers. I thought this slogan was kinda lame until I saw the videos.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME? (Sorry CI, but a girl needs a moment here.)  Did I make an entire ad campaign and completely forget?! Because […]

About last night…

Merry Christmas to us! I have to get HBO and a bigger text messaging plan for this.  Maybe I could just get a red phone that rings every time Dawn wants to squeal about Ovi’s man/bear-ness or send me photos of her “Sidney Crosby Sucks” t-shirt. NHL, HBO announce 24/7 series featuring Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh […]

Everybody into the pool!

Training camps opened Friday and over the weekend a lot of people (who weren’t me) got to see some pre-season hockey.  It looks like the Blackhawks had the most fun, as the Champs should, by hosting their annual Training Camp Festival including… wait for it… a rollerblading race!  Mr. Pants is very jealous because he […]

Hawks launch NHL '11

I’ve never been one for video games (as Mr. Pants sits across the room yelling at his StarCraft squadron).  But if I were going to play, it would be NHL 11.  Captain Howdoyoupronouncethat, Jonathan Toews and fan favorite Patrick Kane (who made my ultimate dream come true by bringing the Cup to a Jimmy Buffett […]
