It’s JStaal’s birthday! Jordan turns 17 today (okay 23). He got a birthday post last season, but we never get tired of this guy. And he knows it. Last season, Jordan has some injury issues. He might be as clumsy as me and Chuck, but we’re not 6’4″ and don’t have quite so far to […]

Sidney Crosby is going to be okay. He’ll play again. We don’t know when. Just seeing him made us feel so much better about the world. Plus, this press conference is 100 times more informative than Bettman’s concussion speech at the All-Star Game. They are hopeful but not blindly so, and confident. A CBC reporter […]
Something is up today. I mysteriously turned off my alarm without knowing and was woken by a bird that sounded exactly like R2D2 just as I dreamed of crash landing in a swamp in the Dagobah System. Then I poured OJ in my Cheerios. Seriously. It must be the event I’ve been trying to ignore […]
Happy 24th birthday to the Nealmobile! James Neal is 24 today. And this season he’s going to score 250 goals alongside Crosby. An exhaustive three minute Google search revealed that James like The Wedding Crashers, vanilla ice cream and music by Dierks Bentley. I believe that’s playing in my car right now. Hey, this video is […]
My wonderful and kind friend Mer wants you to have a great day. So she found these. It’s Friday, and if you’re American there’s no work Monday. Go ahead and celebrate all the things in life that are fantastic: This should be the backyard of a mental institution, because that’s where Dawn will need to […]
Yesterday, after a charity hockey game in Russia, Geno did this: Since we don’t have a picture of it, we’ll settle for only-slightly-less adorable pictures of him – this time with animals. I have a special dance lined up for the moment Geno takes the ice this season. It’s a little bit like the Elaine […]
If I ignore this long enough, maybe it will just go away. It’ll be October and he’ll be out there and everything will be right with the world. I don’t care if you hate Sid and the Pens or rainbows and cupcakes and money. You cannot want to see a premiere player out of the […]
Today is officially the Longest Day Ever. There is even a trophy. To alleviate boredom, we suggest you follow the Nealmobile on Twitter – @jneal_18. It’s really the only hope today has to become more exciting. This picture is from the 2010 Dallas Stars calendar. Someone clearly should have bought this for us. It looks […]
Sportchek’s new Crosby commercials are out! Can I please live in Canada? I believe it’s a magical place where things like this really happen… starring Sid as himself and an 8-year old kid as me. Here’s the link – it’s even in French. 😉 Here’s the second one [link]. We miss his adorkableness something awful. And the […]
The One and Only turns 24 today. Somewhere in Nova Scotia, he’s as anxious to get back to us as we are to him. He’s been writing, but Mike Green keeps intercepting the mail (we never should have let him watch The Notebook). You can love Sid (me) or hate him (Dawn), but thanks to […]
While we are bored, sweltering and waiting for October, Marc-Andre Fleury has been in Africa. Well fine. I thought getting heat stroke at Hershey Park with Gator was an exciting event. You can watch the interview [link] and get the mad giggles from listening to him talk. Can you picture him in a pith helmet? […]
It’s been a while because I was waiting for the luscious Tanger to DO SOMETHING with his LONG summer vacation. SOMETHING as in something SHIRTLESS. Something meaningful for his broad fan base and by broad, I mean, female. It’s been slim pickins out there sisters.
Special Thanks to WUYS fan, Rae (@raedanda) for the heads up about this great photos from www.hotice.ru of Evgeni “Bunny” Malkin rehabbing in Mother Russia. The scar looks pretty gnarly, but glad to see that Geno is getting in shape for the season. 99% of the time, I think he looks like a villian from […]
Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are UFA’s in 13/14 and 14/15 respectively? I was shocked by this – seeing that the golden goose and face of the NHL would be free to wander and check out other goods sooner rather than later. Ovi is locked and fully loaded with the Washington Capitals for 13 years […]
Oh Max. I cannot stay mad at you. I needed a day to cool off and now I just want to hug you and say everything will be okay, except for that hideous sweater you’ll have to wear. But your Christmas sweater was a good warm-up. If anyone could pull off nuclear orange, it’s you. […]
Max Talbot signs with the Flyers, 5 years at 1.8 million/year. JUST KILL ME. Max got a raise ($1.05 mill with Pens). And I know that when the shock wears off I will still love him but… do you have to aim right for my heart? Do you have to stand so close and shoot […]
Pens re-sign Kennedy for 2 years! [NHL.com] Right now I just wanna… and maybe… for about $2 million dollars. Tyler Kennedy Appreciation Life continues.
It is a day of rejoicing around the WUYS offices! 1) Ray Shero, you are a beast. The Pens have signed Pascal Dupuis for 2 more years at $3 million. Now he and Sid can stay up talking all night about Sid’s one fight again. 2) Six more years of Brooks Laich! GMGM and the […]
This is almost enough to make me see Mr. Popper’s Penguins. After I sat through The Dilemma just in case the in-game footage showed Toews (it doesn’t, don’t rent it).
