Newsies: 3-2-1 Contact

Today’s stories are brought to you in order of importance.  No.  In order of who I think is hottest. (So basically like every day here, right?) 1) Crosby’s point streak ended last night at 25 games and I bet Dawn was ringing a church bell in Spokane.  Sid was pouty-pants after the game, probably as […]

So long, Christmas.

I never did a Christmas post this year and now holiday candy is 75% off at Walgreens and they’ve finally stopped the music loop in the mall.  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  If you live on the east coast, I hope you enjoy shoveling.  Until next year… I didn’t make this, but I […]

Weekend Warriors

My power to influence the universe continues to impress – I pick Ryane Clowe for Foxy Friday and what happens? He scores 2 goals vs. the Blackhawks on Saturday night and singlehandedly wins the game!  He’s named NHL  First Star of the Week!  I should start gambling. Alas, I am mad at Ryane because he […]

File Under May-December Bromance…

And you thought it was all Nicklas Backstrom? Ovi has a sugar daddy and it’s Teddy Leonis! Check out his snuggle buddy/fest outside his DVD release last week. Looks like Nicky has some competition.  Alex talks about what to expect when watching his new DVD which is now available in stores EVERYWHERE (YES – I pre-ordered my […]

They're here, they're here!

This is the best day of my your life! Two commercials featuring the comedy duo Toews & Kane have been located by our crack detective team.  Between these and all the Ron/Hermione love in the midnight show of Harry Potter, I am spaz-happy. First, a HUGE thanks to reader Jackie (now officially WUYS BFF) for […]

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 […]

Bromance: Photo of the Week

Inspired by this hilarious selection for the “Double Date” feature on The Hockey Junkies, Dawn and I have been discussing bromances.  In a sport full of hugging, how can you not have them?  All those long road trips, you just want to cuddle on the flight home.  And we just want to wade through days […]

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.  […]

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 […]

NHL Tuesday Night in NYC

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 […]

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 […]
