HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NICKY B! Thank you to @thisisourjamdc for reminding the zombies here at WUYS that today is the 24th birthday of our favorite Swede, Piglet Nicklas Backstrom. We worked till 2:30 AM, were up for work at 5:30 AM. We both travel at the crack of dawn tomorrow. This is the only reason Gator […]
The news on Mike is: 1) He’s not skating [link]. Boudreau hopeful Mike will be able to skate by the end of this week. 2) The Caps are kinda falling apart. Semin’s demoted to 4th line and may be a healthy scratch vs. Phoenix tonight [link]. They’ve lost 6 of 7 games, giving up 27 […]
Hurkey durkey, Turkey! We know you’re all thankful for hockey, and this week’s Foxy Friday is just a reminder of all the things in the world there are to celebrate. Dawn & Chuck are out shopping and Intern Jeff Skinner is making sweet potatoes with marshmallows (you should see his apron), so I’m going to […]
Gator and I are like a married couple who have the same argument all the time, over and over. It goes like this: Gator: “I can’t believe you like Mike Green. He’s so….” Pants: “… Mike Green.” And that is the only explanation, besides falling down and looking so relieved when he scores a goal. […]
Nicky, I’m sorry I passed up your game to go to the movies. Tower Heist was funny, but we could have rented it on DVD and had a WUYS office slumber party. Still, it’s just one night. There is no need to try to kill me. When I got into the car and turned on […]
Gator and I would be going to the 2011 Walk This Way Charity Fashion Show tomorrow night in DC. And not just because it’s a great event. Come support Washington Redskins’ Brian Orakpo, Anthony Armstrong, DeAngelo Hall, Capitals’ John Carlson, Karl Alzner, Nick Backstrom, DC United’s Ben Olsen, Former Redskins Gary Clark, Former Jets John Bootyand others as […]
How am I supposed to get any work done around here?!?!?! Apparently that’s not enough. I’m only mostly dead, because I croaked “true love” with my second-to-last breath, so @CapsCR had to back up and run me over again: I’ll tell you what he can take home. And just to make sure no one was […]
Mike Green, you stud. Way to make Saturday Date Night count! In case you weren’t watching, refreshing your Twitter every ten seconds or hearing my screams echo across DC, you might have missed Mike scoring 2 goals and getting 2 assists vs. Detroit. You might have missed him taking a puck to the chin (“NOT […]
It’s a really slow day and this picture has been lurking around my inbox forever. Dawn sent it, presumably trying to impress us with Ovi’s shorts. Or because he’s wearing a Coach’s Corner t-shirt. But all I see is this. Am I wrong? There’s this: And this. I could go on all day. Mike has […]
Gator FTW! She just sent me this – trolling the internet for pictures of iCarly when she should be working. Wonder who she learned that from? Capitol File – Washington Capitals Model Fall Fashions Here’s the link to short player profiles and a link to the video. Knuble’s vest and Hendy’s rolled-up sleeves are my […]
Please take a moment to enjoy the titles of NHL.com’s highlight reel from last night’s Penguins/Capitals game. Intentional or unintentional innuendo hilarity? Since I’m sure you all heard me screaming, you know the Nealmobile scored two goals. The second on request – I literally said, “Please score!” and he did. Immediately. I like a man […]
Happy 26th Birthday, Mike Green! People born between October 11 & 12 are especially awesome, wouldn’t you agree? We should get today off work in DC, since we had to work Columbus Day. Alleged discovery of North American continent? Who cares. Obvious location of Mike Green World Domination HQ? Approved. We could post the Cribs […]
I have decided that if the Blackhawks have Tazer Cats, the Capitals are going to have the “Cat-ipals” and who else to better represent them as a mascat than MARU. In Japanese, his name means circle and that is exactly what the Capitals will be running around their opponents this year so in honor of their opening win, my birthday […]
Gator and I had the best time ever at the Caps Home Opener on Saturday. First of all, the warm-up skate. Mike Green, no helmet, cruising around like the Fresh Prince in Summertime – “Two miles an hour so everybody sees you.” Yes, he’s fresh from the barber shop and basketball courts in the summer […]
The moment you’ve all been waiting for has almost arrived. The NHL 2011-2012 season kick off tomorrow, and it’s about damned time. We’re are packed and ready to go: Pants survived a pre-season crisis at the Capitals/Blackhawks game when she felt compelled to cheer for the Caps. Over the Hawks. Tazer/Kaner vs. Nicky/Mikey? This is […]
The Capitals Convention was Saturday – Gator and I are now we’re double-extra-super excited for hockey season. Oh, and this. No big deal. The day started with Gator and Slapshot fist-pumping around 11 AM (it’s never too early). As you can see we are already holding beers. Liz got to see a real live Red […]
Right now, right down the street, Mikey and Nicky are building a playground. SERIOUSLY. I should be speeding up Rhode Island Ave NW right now in my dress and heels. Maybe Nicky has a pair of stripey red shorts I can borrow. Why do I not know about these things in advance? Why am I […]
What a baby face.
Gator and I are not having a great week in DC, but I think we’d feel better if Nicky were here. His hugs always work on Mike. In fact, we nominate Nicky for Best Hugs in the WUYS High School Yearbook. Ovi voting: Up for discussion: trip to Vegas, leaving tomorrow. Who wants in?
If you’d like to spend your Friday watching Nicky B, you’re in luck. Bonus if you speak Swedish or mumbling. He has such nice eyes. Interview Video 1 and Video 2. Fair warning: There isn’t any smiling, as he obviously misses Mike. It makes me wanna: Our pal @raedanda found this on Twitter – MUCH better. Someone tell me […]
