Jarret Stoll – What's Up, Ya Sieve?

Foxy Friday: One for Everyone

Pants — Fri, 17 May 2013 17:59:02 +0000

The power of Foxy Friday is surprising. Players have an eerie tendency to over-perform immediately after being featured – and it’s not always a good thing for us. When NYI’s Matt Martin pretty much ruined my life in Game 2 vs. the Penguins, I promised not to foxify anyone from an opposing team for the rest of the playoffs. These are dangerous times.

I wanted to feature a player who’s still playing hockey, since we have to get through the whole summer with guys playing golf. How to do that without cursing myself tonight? How about one of each?

Ottawa – Eric Gryba

Suspended two games in Round 1 for an earth-shattering hit that seemed clean to us, Eric Gryba is Chuck’s kinda guy. With that beard, he could be Rick Nash’s stunt double. He left Tuesday’s game with an ‘upper body injury’ after a big hit from Pens’ Brooks Orpik, and will not play tonight. Get well, Eric! (Just not well enough to score goals, or stop them, you know… that’s my disclaimer.)

Pittsburgh – Matt Niskanen

If you never looked past James Neal in the Penguins/Stars trade, you may have ignored Nisky back there on the blue line. Being adorable. Having “Norman” for a middle name. Talking like he’s from Minnesota with a shot of Texas. Maybe you saw him fighting Kyle Okposo in Round 1. Stupid brawl, but foxy black eye. Go ahead and score all the points you want. (@alisonsykora approves this message.)

New York – Derick Brassard

Rhonda suggested Derick for Foxy Friday and got a really huge NO from me, but I’ll include him here. Who does he look like to you? It’s not Logan Lerman. Someone on Glee? I feel like Derick is going to break into a cover song at any moment. I thought he was a rookie, but it turns out he was just playing in Columbus for 5 years. Maybe I’ll just call him Foxy Trade Bonus.

Boston – Daniel Paille

Chuck hopes the Foxy Friday luck rubs off on Pie, since he hasn’t scored in a bit. I think Paille looks much better without his heard. It’s the whole strong-jawed, Bryce Harper thing. But he can keep growing it as long as Chuck gets to keep watching her Bs – and he keeps hugging people this enthusiastically.

Los Angeles – Jarret Stoll

Jarret Stoll got hit by Raffi Torres in Game 1 of this series. Torres got suspended (shocker) and Stoll missed Game 2 last night. I don’t really get swoony over Stoll – are there any blond celebs he hasn’t dated? – but I like Erin Andrews a lot. If he’s good enough for her, he’s good enough for Foxy Friday. Here’s hoping he’s back in the Kings’ lineup soon.

San Jose – Joe Pavelski

Featured in this week’s BeardWatch2013 for his perfect 1:1 hair-to-beard ratio, Little Joe is one of my favorite Sharks. Also the Sharks’ TV commercials were a highlight of living in the Bay Area for three years. Enjoy Joe Pavelski – Lousy Detective, Joe Pavelski’s “Rest Homies” and just plain old Joe Pavelski.

Detroit – Jordin Tootoo

Things Jordin Tootoo loves: Instagram, his girlfriend, pictures of food and hockey fans. He is quite possibly the most exuberant NHL player on social media (minus Biz and with zero snark). Not only was Jordin the NHL’s first player of Inuit descent, but also the first from the Canadian province of Nunavut (Correction: Per shanes, it’s the territory of Nunavut. I have no idea what the distinction means, but I shall look it up!). There’s a place in Canada where not everyone plays NHL hockey? Dreams ruined. Jordin is currently benched in favor of Todd Bertuzzi (DISLIKE) – maybe this will put him back in the lineup.

Chicago – Brian Bickell

A long-standing Foxy Friday requirement: Must Love Dogs. Brian Bickell does. He and his wife even founded Chicago Loves Pits, an organization to educate and open hearts and minds about pitbulls. D’awww! I know the sweetest pit, her name is Luna, and this one’s for her. Brian also very gracefully handled the Blackhawks’ decision not to include his name on the Stanely Cup, and we love a polite guy. In a Christmas sweater.

There you have it, even-stevens foxiness across the board. Let’s see if it works.

All Hail Jarret Stoll!

So the Kings making it past Vancouver was like this happening …

But my friends once in a blue moon dreams do come true! So taste the rainbow Kings fans!

And it was all because of the guy with the most AWESOME hair this side of the Mississippi! And I can attest from seeing it in person. HOLY CRAP! It deserves a post of its own – hell, it deserves a facebook page of its own. Le-swoon. Plus, who knew Jarret Stoll was snaggin’ hotties under the radar like this?

yes, that's super model Rachel Hunter with the newly dubbed, west coast - 'bigboy hair'

But what’s really important is what he does on the ice which is this:

But I’ll be honest, it’s nice that under all that is this too :

LA seems to agree with Mr. Stoll

We love Cabbie

How have I never seen this before? My favorite is Getzlaf – he cannot get a single word out. Even Crosby’s getting sassy.

This Is How Much I Love Drew Doughty And The LA Kings!

Move over Sidney, Dawn's got a new use for your dryer!

Unfortunately Robot Chicken won’t let you upload the clip so you have to follow the (link) but it was Drew Doughty ALL NIGHT LONG! Chang- Ching!

I couldn’t stand it last night! If the puck was anywhere near Drew it went in! He was the second star in the NHL behind Pavel Datsyuk; he tied the franchise record with an Amaze-balls 4 points – and he tied himself from last year and Paul Coffey. Dude – HE IS NOT ONLY TOUCHED BY GOD – HE IS A HOCKEY GOD!

With Kopitar AND Jarret Stoll out, The LA Kings still Whipped Their Hair and the Sharks to shut out them out with an astonishing 4-0 score in their own back yard. WHAT THE …?

Even the SJ announcer was talking about your five hole even though he meant Quick!

My favorite snap of the night? JR calling out Patrick Marleau on Versus. If this is all that ever happens it will be enough because the Kings played like a team that deserved to be there. But I hope they keep it up – upsets are always awesome.

Your Moment Of Play-Off Stress Relief Zen.

Thank you all at WUYS for voting me Disney Prince! I accept the award.

Captain Serious – aka Jonathan Toews does an interview SHIRTLESS:

Yes, Dawn, I know, but I asked you to stop calling me here. Jordan gave you my number? That ...

Out and about in LA with Drew, Jarret and Matt from the LA Kings … YEOW! Drew looks Smokin’ HOT!

And Scooter MaGoo …

Drew Doughty Is a Sexy Beast = LA Kings In The Playoffs!

Me- Drew - You - you; me play hockey good.

By the Power of Gray Skull! Evidently God decided to touch not only Drew (“It might be a huge one”), she decided to touch a couple of LA Kings last night (oh please – I would so like to switch places for one day!) and put them into the plaaaaaay ooooooffffsss! Let me hear a boooohyaa from the West Coasties! Although she messed with me and made it go into a shoot out knuckle biter with Jonathan Quick (best named Goalie eva!) lived up to his name and slammed the door shut on the Coyotes. HOWL!

Jarret Stoll and Michal Handzus (worst hair nominee – get that boy a stylist and some conditioner STAT!) nailed their shoot out shots and Capt. DOWNTOWN Brown missed but he had a super sweet takin’ to the Bryzgalov early on in the game.

This means at least a few more weeks of the Sexy Beast Touched by God! Can I hear an AMEN? AMEN! Hallelujah!
