I can live with ugly sweaters if the Christmas season continues to yield embarrassing team holiday videos. We’ve already seen the Habs belting out Elsa’s theme. Here’s a look at the rest… The Penguins have already found the perfect off-ice role for Pascal Dupuis: Team Dad. It would explain a lot about how attractive this […]
Now onto the Western Conference Playoff Predictions, where we be like… Disclaimers: Chuck: I have watched some Western Conferences games this year, but those 10pm start times are killers. My predictions are based off: the games I HAVE watch; NHL Network, what I’ve read about the teams, and Ms. Cleo. Pants: I need to be honest […]
I didn’t get to watch much hockey after Friday night, but the playoffs wait for no DVR. In case anyone else (mostly) missed the weekend festivities… The networks have all kinds of on-hiatus hockey players pitching in as commentators during these playoffs. Let us make the offer official: Alex Pietrangelo, you and your currently unemployed […]
Well… Last night I was very PANIC! AT THE DISCO. I feel a little better this morning , so allow me to re-edit my thoughts. Blue Jackets: 4; Penguins: 3 [Series tied 2-2] Listen, Fleury has been the Penguins’ best player all series. Sometimes he is their only player actually playing. So much has been […]
One more night in the books! Welcome back to my way to be sure that I have noticed every playoff game around the League for three minutes. Some of you probably called in “overtime” to work and are just waking up. Blues:4, Blackhawks: 3 Look, overtime is one thing. Triple overtime is two more things […]
Who the hell is Alexander Steen? That’s what we said. We’re used to seeing names like Crosby, Ovechkin, and Sedin atop the NHL stats page but then we see this… And we’re all… St. Louis Blues forward Alexander Steen has been tearing…it…up this season. He’s got 14 goals & 20 points so far. Blues are […]
This week, we’re featuring yet ANOTHER Swede. Hey, not our fault that this lovely nation keeps producing the foxiest of men folk. Foxy Friday: Patrik Berglund The boring stuff – Born 1988 (aged 25). 6’3″, 220 lb C/LW drafted 25th overall by the Blues in 2006. In his very young NHL career, he has a […]
One night of the 2013 NHL Playoffs is in the books. Everybody still with us? Blackhawks vs. Wild The Hawks didn’t play their best, but they squeaked one out vs. the Wild. As the regular clock wound down and overtime became imminent, we all did this: Every damned time. In last year’s first round, 5 […]
Week #2 of the Foxy Friday Fan Challenges come to us from one of the 1st WUYS fans, Jessica (@jfrancesw). We know it was hard for her to admit her love of David Backes, but we’re pretty glad she did it. GIVE US ALL THE PUPPEHS! I tried. I tried to resist. I tried to […]
The great oracle Orisis Jones was right as far as part of the West Coast goes: Not since 1993 have the LA Kings been to a conference final and that was when the Great One played for them – as in Wayne Gretzky. The Kings have swept the #1 and #2 seed and yet the […]
The Kings have lost only ONE play-off game to date. And after listening to the announcers last night, could they have made anymore snide/ weight remarks? Let me count them down for you: Doughty certainly is a well-rounded player Doughty just skated down the Blues bench and told them they’d have to be quicker than […]
Right now, things aren’t going so good for Alex Pietrangelo and his St. Louis Blues. They are down 3-0 to the Los Angeles Kings and are on the verge of being eliminated, their hopes to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup almost gone. We know what can cheer him up. Being named a Foxy Friday! Foxy Friday: […]
This overtime, come-from-behind, shootout nonsense is taking years off my life. The Capitals rallied from a 0-3 deficit to beat the NY Islanders in a shootout last night. Foxy Friday John Tavares had 2 G + 1 in the shootout, and so did Ovi. OVI! I don’t like you but I love you and that’s […]
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 […]
Training camps opened Friday and over the weekend a lot of people (who weren’t me) got to see some pre-season hockey. It looks like the Blackhawks had the most fun, as the Champs should, by hosting their annual Training Camp Festival including… wait for it… a rollerblading race! Mr. Pants is very jealous because he […]
