You may recall I once insisted Bauer was falsely advertising their “base layer” collection by featuring all hockey players and no underwear. They didn’t quite hear me, but they may have understood some of my International Sign language. That’s right. My hair-tossing and reasonable facsimile of the Kid N’ Play dance meant please do […]
Celebrate with this ridiculous goal Patrick Kane scored in the Hawks 8-1 win against the Dallas Stars last night. Are you kidding me?! You know somewhere in Siberia, Peggy’s pissed he didn’t ask Kaner how he scores from the right side.
The surefire way to break a streak is for me to post about it, so apologies in advance to the Sharks and/or Blackhawks. Blame NHL.com, they did it first. The San Jose Sharks are 6-0. Surprised? So is Patrick Marleau. HA! Actually, Patty always looks that way. But we are impressed. Nine goals in six […]
When it comes to the Blackhawks, it’s not easy to be the prettiest anything. You’re well-dressed… till Patrick Sharp walks by. Feeling reliably heroic… then you see Jonathan Toews. Rugged? Try Viktor Stalberg. Good hair day? Ruined by Brent Seabrook. You can’t even walk a dog without being upstaged by Duncan Keith and forget being […]
Patrick Kane likes to party. In other news, Tyler Seguin is hot. When two things so obvious to the world collide, it can only end in Bromaggedon. First, it was just casual hanging out. Maybe a Tuesday night happy hour, catch a movie in English with both French and German subtitles that cover half the […]
If you got 21 seconds with Jonathan Toews, is this how you would spend it? I used to be a ski racer. I can have someone out of that much gear with time left over for hot chocolate. Bauer hired Toews, Kane, all the Staals (sorry Jared) AND Giroux to star in their new […]
While the East Coast was stockpiling batteries and Twizzlers on Friday in anticipation of Frankenstormpocalypse, the Chicago Blackhawks and friends were playing in the Champs for Charity hockey game. Photos from the Chicago Tribune They look as happy as I feel, and I wasn’t even there! All it takes is a little hockey. Even Jon […]
Guest post time! (And Pants fixed her broken photos, sorry.) Hi, I’m Jess! You may remember me from such WUYS guest appearances such as Up Close and Personal and Our Friends Party With the NHL. Pants and Chuck have once again let me take over their blog so that I can drop a little ‘Hawks fandom on y’all. My […]
ACK! Chuck and I have been so busy at our real jobs that we’re late in posting some of the very best stuff I’ve ever seen from a hockey summer. Let’s start with the most important thing. I posted a photo of this, but that is not even close to the proper pedestal on which […]
When Mr. Pants and I boarded our flight in Houston on Saturday, I had NO idea there would be individual TVs on the plane. Then I saw the All-Star Game Skills Competition was on. I may have screamed. One swipe of the AMEX later, I was sitting an inch from the screen with a huge […]
All-Star Weekend is our 2nd favorite time of the year here at WUYS (behind the awkberg assemblage that is the NHL Awards) and since Pants is off on her honeymoon getting all tan, hanging with monkeys, drinking umbrella drinks and being all in lurve, it’s going to be really lonely around here this weekend. So to […]
Tonight, we’ll find out who’ll be the Phil Kessel of the 2012 All Star game. (Perhaps it’ll be Phil Kessel. That would be amazing.) At 8pm tonight, fifty of the best hockey players in the world (38 NHL All-Stars and 12 top rookies) will be up for selection in the Player Fantasy Draft. All-stars and […]
Christmas, I love you. You are the perfect excuse for madcap hilarity from NHL teams featuring the only singing on Earth that is confirmed worse than mine (thanks Marian Hossa). Oh my God, it goes on forever! This is the kind of stuff Gator and I come up with during intermissions at Caps games. Get […]
Patrick Sharp has pretty much been having the BEST. WEEK. EVER. First, he and his wife Abby welcomed a baby girl, Madelyn Grace, on Friday. Early Sunday, the proud papa brought her daughter and wife home. Sunday night, he scored his 2nd straight overtime game winner in a row to beat the Sharks 3-2. [Watch […]
It’s not too early to nominate Jonathan Toews for the Hart Trophy. The Blackhawks were down 3-0 to Phoenix last night, early in the second period. Tazer scored twice in seven minutes then set Kaner up a few minutes later for a game-tying goal that would hold into an eventual shootout loss. It was a BAMF […]
Mike Green didn’t make the trip to Winnipeg with the Caps, but he did take his sprained ankle to the Kid Rock show in DC last night. He wore his only favorite sweater (seriously, he wears this more than Toews wears that suit) and that hat that makes me want to throw snowballs. Money was […]
While we have been busy with Mikey getting hurt and Tyler Seguin pouring it on and James Neal scoring daily, the Blackhawks are the #1 team in the NHL with 25 points (11-4-3). Tazer was the NHL’s Third Star for last week, with two 2-goal games to help the Hawks win three in a row. Jon […]
Hahaha, I thought this was the commercial that plays before the video starts. But it is the video! Patrick Kane Discover Card commercial [link] Patrick, you got drunk and gave it to us last night. Great party though. Too bad you fell asleep. All that fun and only Toews to hang out with… he may […]
… Did the sky fall? I know what you’re thinking – there’s some kind of Upstate NY voodoo hypnosis going on or Kaner figured out how to roofie via Twitter. But I’m going to go ahead and say it: Damn, Patrick. Best use of off-season. Kaner had wrist surgery in July and is back on […]
You knew it was coming. Captain Serious cannot be outdone in any category (especially his own category) – he was just saving the best for last. Taking a (really too obvious but keep doing squats and we don’t care) page from 24/7, Blackhawks TV once again brings you the best hockey programming around. Carter, Lindsay and […]
