It is a little known major oversight here at WUYS that Steven Stamkos has never been a Foxy Friday. One could argue that’s he’s been sufficiently fox-ied every other day of the week, since we’ve tagged over 100 posts with his name. But with great power comes great responsibility… To keep looking like this: Some of […]
I can’t believe that I’m actually writing this post. Today’s Foxy Friday has played for not one but TWO of the teams in the NHL that fuel my hate fire. But today, I will smother that raging hate fire and look past the jersey. Today, I will also forget that he is named after one […]
Foxy Friday has been known to possess great power, often resulting in immediate goal-scoring (You’re welcome, Ekblad.) and a general increase in overall hockey prowess. Hey, we strut a little when people tell us we look nice too! In the interest of using our powers for good, we turn a long-awaited Friday eye toward someone […]
This week’s Foxy Friday suggestion came to us from one of our twitter followers, Ellie (aka @hockeyfied) Besides the obvious (#Sweden), I honestly had no idea who Elias Lindholm was. But I do now. Bless you, Ellie, for enlightening me. Everyone meet Elias Viktor Zebulon Lindholm. Yes, that it is actually his name, and yes, […]
It’s Friday, folks, so you know what that means! FOXY FRIDAY! Today, we’re featuring a guy with one of the coolest names in hockey – Nino Niederreiter. Say that five times fast. But who exactly IS Nino Niederreiter? Nino is part of the youth movement in Minnesota, part of a core group of players which […]
As the regular season comes to a close, we’ll start to remember and eulogize those teams that battled and bruised and sacrificed, but in the end, fell short of the post-season. But before you reach for that pint of ice cream or in Pants’ case, that bottle of red wine (RIP Capitals), we have something […]
Happy New Year! Happy Foxy Friday! It’s our First Foxy Friday of the Year and we’re starting it off right. It all actually started in 2013 when there I was, just minding my own business, drinking a glass of delicious scotch, talking on the twitter, when WUYS reader @sarahconnors drops this Foxy Friday bomb on […]
Sometimes being a Foxy Friday isn’t about being the #1 star or scoring all the goals. Sometimes it is about being funny and charming and adorable. And totally crush-worthy. This week’s honoree has got it in spades. So let’s look at the reasons why Barty gets this week’s honor (besides his obvious awesomeness) In the […]
Who the hell is Alexander Steen? That’s what we said. We’re used to seeing names like Crosby, Ovechkin, and Sedin atop the NHL stats page but then we see this… And we’re all… St. Louis Blues forward Alexander Steen has been tearing…it…up this season. He’s got 14 goals & 20 points so far. Blues are […]
This week, we’re featuring yet ANOTHER Swede. Hey, not our fault that this lovely nation keeps producing the foxiest of men folk. Foxy Friday: Patrik Berglund The boring stuff – Born 1988 (aged 25). 6’3″, 220 lb C/LW drafted 25th overall by the Blues in 2006. In his very young NHL career, he has a […]
Today, we’re heading out west for our Foxy Friday Honoree. Ryan O’Reilly The basics – Born in 1991. 6′ ft, 200 lbs centerman. Drafted by the Avalanche 33rd overall in 2009. Career stats – 269 games played, 47 goals, 83 assists. Now those are all well and good but let’s get down to the real […]
I”ve never particularly enjoyed the gym. Or running. Or sweating of any kind, really. My preferred method of working out is swimming, 1) because I don’t feel myself sweating and 2) because sometimes I pretend that I’m a mermaid. But as some of you may be aware, Pants and I are in “training” for the […]
Normally we don’t tend to feature the same player twice in our Foxy Friday feature, but after what Gregory Campbell did on Wednesday night, how could we not? from bosstownsports.tumblr.com In case you’ve been living under a rock since Wednesday, just take a moment to review what transpired to bring about this Foxy Friday Sequel. […]
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 […]
Boston Bruins center David Krejci is a Clark Kent. During the regular season, he is just this mild-mannered guy, playing good hockey. He’s not particularly flashy. In fact, some times you don’t even realize he is there. Then playoffs come around. And he becomes this. In just four games this post season, Krejci has […]
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 […]
Remember that time in late January/early February 2012 we went a little crazy and named a bunch of New York Rangers at Foxy Fridays? Yea, well this guy wasn’t one of them. We’re idiots. Thank goodness, WUYS fan Brenda (@wishinonehand) is on top of it. She is this week’s Foxy Friday Fan Challenge winner! Check […]
As desperately as we might have tried, we cannot ignore Chris Higgins. I mean, he’s a Canuck, for pete’s sake. AND a Montreal Canadien. These alone make our skin crawl. It fills us with the fire of a thousands suns. It makes us rage like a Desperate Housewife who has drank up all her chardonnay and […]
Mullets. Eyebrows. Fights. Three things we love and post about probably more often than is normal. But we can’t help it. And when you have all three AT THE SAME TIME – well, we’re just smitten. We must honor you with our most prestigious award. This week’s Foxy Friday is Adam McQuaid of the Boston Bruins This […]
This week, we honor Viktor Fasth, goaltender for the Anaheim Ducks. Fasth has burst onto the NHL scene in this shortened as the back-up to Jonas Hiller in Anaheim. Initially, Fasth wasn’t expected to play much but instead has dominated in a most unexpected way. The Ducks are on a winning streak and the rookie […]
