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 […]
Here’s a video about various players spilling their OCD secrets from Captain Serious saying he doesn’t have any pre or post game rituals which I call BS on! No one with devil eyes like that can say he doesn’t have any – he may not want to tell anyone but I don’t believe for one hot minute he […]
Earlier, one of our readers suggested a reality show of the Staals growing up in Thunder Bay and I found some toddler video of them as youngsters! You can totally see Jordan in the middle taking control and slapping Eric and Marc around. But they hold their own for a bit and Marc totally comes […]
Did I forget I was in charge at Bauer? Because I definitely did the endorsement casting for these commercials: NICKY SPEAKING SWEDISH! Wish you were in the playoffs, EStaaaaaaaaaaal.
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 […]
One year ago today, everyone I know was on Twitter or Facebook talking about how great hockey is as the US and Canada faced off in the Olympic gold medal game. We could hear them cheering in our apartment complex, and it wasn’t the two Russian guys down the hall. My response: I have been […]
Let’s take this in baby steps and try not to get too carried away. Because we could go on for DAYS about All-Star Weekend (wait, we already have). First, everyone missed their flights to Raleigh. Patrick Kane was busy packing his “Louis V shades.” Mike Green and Ovi couldn’t fit two grown men and hockey […]
The Caps had a great weekend! Nicky B. dropped his scoring drought-o-rama and Ovi has his 1oth career hat trick! Cheers all around! They held on to beat Toronto after the heart breaking loss last time when they were up 4-1. Holtby was in net and did an awesome job. Sorry kids but these two photos were just too awesome not […]
EStaaaaaaal and Nick Lidstrom are the 2011 All-Star Game Captains and I have to say WELL DONE, NHL. This is so fun already. And Eric is smiling. I haven’t been this excited about a Captain since Malcolm Reynolds. This is the ultimate olive branch because even if you hate the Wings (slowly raises hand), you […]
Pretty much every team has posted their All-Stars’ reactions to being selected, so there are a ton of videos. But I like this one best – it’s Team Dawn and Team Pants. I think these two are the only Capitals NOT in a bromance, despite the enthusiasm of their on-ice hugging. [Video] PS: I still […]
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 […]
So… one whole game last night, eh? I still managed 9.5 points for my fantasy team because Zetterberg is a machine. Since there’s nothing to talk about, how about a preview of tonight’s games? Capitals @ Rangers – How much does Mike Green really love us? Enough to get his 5th goal in 5 games […]
While Dawn Cherrie and I were on a double date last night with Mike Green and Ovie, the rest of the NHL’s top 20 stars partied with Graydon Carter and the fancypants folks at Vanity Fair. Well, fancy-ish. Guests included “actor” Tom Cavanaugh and Olympic ice skater Evan Lysacek. It kills me that we’re not […]
