Playoff Predictions: Beasts of the East

It’s here! The NHL Playoffs!  Our lives are on hold until further notice. Welcome to our annual playoff predictions, where Chuck selects teams based on actual hockey things and Pants make wishes on shiny pennies. (note from Pants: Amazingly, we have about the same track record. Maybe I learn things through texting with her.) Eastern Conference Canadiens […]

Weekend Update

I didn’t get to watch much hockey after Friday night, but the playoffs wait for no DVR.  In case anyone else (mostly) missed the weekend festivities… The networks have all kinds of on-hiatus hockey players pitching in as commentators during these playoffs.  Let us make the offer official: Alex Pietrangelo, you and your currently unemployed […]

Day Seven

It was bound to happen and one night it did (Thanks, Garth)… the Tampa Bay Lightning were the first team eliminated from the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs.  I haven’t heard from Lindsay, who is probably wrapped in her Stamkos jersey like a shroud and laying on the floor in the space between her bed and […]

Foxy Friday: Brendan Smith

We love you guys.  Seriously. I sent the word out last night that I was looking for Foxy Friday nominees and our twitter feed blew up with a ton of suggestions. As I started to google them to ascertain their Foxy Friday potential, there was one that clearly stood out amongst the rest. Detroit Red Wings’ Brendan […]

Una Noche

One night of the 2013 NHL Playoffs is in the books.  Everybody still with us? Blackhawks vs. Wild The Hawks didn’t play their best, but they squeaked one out vs. the Wild.  As the regular clock wound down and overtime became imminent, we all did this: Every damned time.  In last year’s first round, 5 […]

Foxy Friday: Henrik Zetterberg

Well folks, it’s the final Friday of April, which means the final entry for the Foxy Friday Fan Challenge. This week,  Brenda (@wishinonehand) wins again.  We swear it isn’t nepotism, but when you submit good stuff, we have to share it. And this one is most defintely a keeper. Sadly, we don’t get to watch […]

Foxy Friday: Steve Yzerman

For this week’s edition of Foxy Friday, I decided to jump in the WUYS TARDIS and go back in time to honor one of the foxiest (and talented) NHLers of all time… Steve Yzerman The former Detroit Red Wing and current GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning is a legend. Plain and simple. And if […]

Because It's The Cup Campaign

So when this campaign started the feedback was terrible so they adjusted it STAT because it was like the MasterCard ad, the Hockey Discover Card and “I Just Want My Pants Back” had a drunken three way, someone got pregnant and no one wanted to take responsibility for the monster that came of it. Hockey fans will […]

Foxy Friday: Nicklas Lidstrom

I was thinking on Tuesday of all the NHL teams and who had never gotten a Foxy Friday (yes, this is what I think about).  Your suggestions are spot on – we’ve never featured a Senator, Star, anyone from the Blues or the Wild.  Or… drum roll… the Red Wings.  (I’m not counting Mike Modano.) […]

You jump, I jump. Right?

The Detroit Red Wings set the NHL consecutive home game win record last night with 21 straight, edging out two teams (1929-30 Bruins and1975-76 Fyers) to claim the crown.  Detroit also holds the record for consecutive road wins (12) [link].  Well la dee freakin’ dah. The Wings have only 3 home losses this season, the […]

Sharks! Sharks! Sharks!

I leave the Bay Area and NOW YOU WIN!?!?!  If my other teams were in it I’d be so mad at you.  But beggars can’t be choosers and you guys let us drink on Caltrain so… YAY SHARKS.  I hug you! Not only did you beat Detroit (insert me making siren noise here), but you […]

Tonight, Tonight!

It’s Detroit Rock City VS the Sharks … And we shall see who will be, wait for it… wait for it …Yes, I went there! STAY IN’ ALIVE!

Save the Last Dance

Who’s excited for tonight?  Nervous? On Monday, Rookie of My Life Logan Couture posted this.  It made me all teary-eyed like that Green Day “Time of Your Life” song.  Not that 19 years is a long time in the hockey world.  Or that you’d rather play 7 than win in 4.  But way to be […]

Going All The Way

So this happened last night.  And if you expected something else, you must be new around here. Gator was particularly excited, and posted a photo of an Ice Girl picking up an octopus on my door this morning.  She had faith.  And we’re ready for Thursday’s Game 7.  I want to rock my Sharks jersey […]

Wake Me Up When…

What do you guys want to talk about today? The Canucks win.  Somewhere Shea Weber’s beard defeats all attempts to be removed.  That thing had a building permit and poured a foundation, it’s going to be a hot summer in wherever Shea is from.  Ryan Kessler ditches the secret identity ruse and goes full-on super […]

In other news…

So the Sharks are up 3-0 on the Red Wings.  And Stephanie Tanner is pissed!  That’s the same face Gator is making right now in her office, partially because she’s from the D and partially because Stamkos is not coming back to DC for her. Last night was the 2nd OT game of this round […]

Fins to the Left!

I saved this photo back in March hoping someday I would get to use it.  San Jose has a 2-0 lead on the Red Wings and I think now is the time for inspiration.  For destruction.  I saw a guy on the Metro in a Wings shirt yesterday and I wished for an octopus to […]

The Beard.

This week’s beard update. Here’s where it stands. The Sedin’s are disqualified because they always have one and it’s always groomed. Shea Weber started too early but I’ll include him solely because of its sheer awesomeness but he’s out of the running and same goes for George Parros. And believe it or not, there is actually an attractive […]

Did Someone Say Mike Modano?

Holy heavenly bodies & mullets my prayers are answered! The other Mikey is baaaaack! After what I thought might be a career ending injury our resident legendary hottie Mike Modano played Saturday against Buffalo and tonight against another Foxy Friday alumni Double D TBG and as sad as it is to say, Detroit beat the crap out of LA 7-4. TBG only got […]

Am I Psychic?

He was Foxy Friday a few weeks back but now Mike Babcock, coach of gold medal winning Canadian Olympic Team and the Detroit Red wings, can confirm Drew’s status and then some: “Detroit Red Wings Coach Mike Babcock on Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty: “He’s just been touched by God.” Los Angeles Kings defenseman […]
