Someone had a big night last night. Not just goals, but beauties! And a little hows-your-mother with his old pee-wee teammate PK Subban there at the end. Don’t get between Stamkos and the net, kindergarten. Meanwhile, in the Squats Department: Does that say what I think it says – he can squat 450 lbs? Like […]
Last night, we picked up Chuck at the airport and made the trip to Montreal for today’s Lightning vs. Canadiens game (Note: We didn’t. Do you think they’d actually let us into Canada?) . We drove all night (it’s not that far), had poutine for breakfast (win) and lined up hours early for the Bolts […]
A bunch of you sent us this link and I’m so sorry that I’m slow in posting. I was laugh-crying so hard I couldn’t type. Some gems from this fantastic game show: Most Uncomfortable: Intern Jeff Skinner’s “short shifts” apparently translate off the ice. Is he old enough to be making these jokes? Best Admission […]
Wouldn’t it be great if I could do one of these for every team? Chuck’s in Scotland, Intern Jeff Skinner keeps calling in “hockey” and I am all busy while the Lightning get tan and play cards. (Actually on a work conference call now, and we’re talking about monkeys. Seriously.) Vinny Lecavalier hosted a Celebrity […]
Just to give you guys an idea of what we’re missing: Tazer with the open buttons all week and Steven with the hair.
It’s obviously a tough time for everyone in the wake of the KHL plane crash, and I think NHL.com did a nice job of highlighting last night’s Media Tour reception with a really toned-down video [link]. Kudos to them. There are quick shots of Kaner, Ovi, Shane Doan, Squishy, Corey Perry, Logan Couture (short hair!) […]
ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? I know it’s media week but this is the best combo since drinking your Coke through a Twizzler straw! Gator will be away and I have a work event… both of which should be cancelled immediately. We should have the Nealmobile loaded up with snacks and gas and be […]
Okay, they earned it. Videos and photos and… thank heaven for this week. And for Alyonka Larionov (person I am most jealous of in the world!)’s Twitter photos. Who said something about Seguin wearing the heck out of a suit? Did you ask for a t-shirt? And Stamkos showing off (approved): I obliged Intern Jeff […]
Not enough, eh? Intern Jeff Skinner here – still working out. I’ve been working out for DAYS. Hey Pants, where’s Logan Couture this weekend? Oh right, hosting golf. You weren’t invited? Maybe I’ll send you a ticket to the gun show. Heck, two tickets and you can sit next to my Calder Trophy. […]
Intern Jeff Skinner here, reporting from the field. Is there some kind of dictionary for girls? I cannot understand a word said in the WUYS office since that Kris Letang video. It’s like an Justin Bieber concert! Sure, he makes carrying Pants’ purse look waaaaaaay too easy but I am an athlete too. And I’ve been […]
The BioSteel sports camp is this week in Toronto and Biz Tweeted this photo of his lucky locker room assignment: We suggest you lock up your daughters bloggers. If you’re wondering how Stammer’s off-season project of impersonating Nicky Backstrom is going, here’s an update on his hair and the upcoming season [video]. Happy Monday, kids! […]
Let’s be honest. We’re not going to get through today without this: Wake up, Gator. There’s fun to be had. (So perfect, I can’t stop watching it.)
This is old news by now, but things are busy around the WUYS offices with Vespa lessons and all the Swedish we’re learning. Steven 1 and Steven 2 (Yzerman and Stamkos, obvs) did a press conference last week [video] about Stammer’s 5-year contract in which Yzerman said: And Stamkos said: Seriously, Steven Stamkos is the happiest […]
Does this mean we’ve officially made it? Mexican coca colas for everyone! We follow pretty much every NHL team on the twitter in the hopes that someday they’ll follow us back and we’ll feel super popular and emotionally validated as serious hockey bloggers. Phoenix Coyotes were the first to follow us, but have to admit […]
Okay, so the spelling isn’t the same. Who cares? Our life plan remains intact with Steven Stamkos signing a 5-year, $37.5 million contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning yesterday. We always knew it would happen. So did Stammer: “I never even thought of looking anywhere else.” [link] But we like to have everything signed & sealed […]
The search term “Stamkos” has landed a big percentage of people on WUYS this week. Maybe no one else is talking about Steven. Maybe it’s all Gator. Either way, we give the people what they want.
I don’t want to freak anyone (Gator) out, but… The clock is ticking for the Tampa Bay Lightning to sign star center Steven Stamkos before he becomes a real option for the 29 other clubs. General Manager Steve Yzerman has until 12 p.m. ET on Friday to sign Stamkos or else he will become a restricted free agent and, therefore, be […]
Loyal WUYS correspondents @jfrancesw and @chialo managed not to get arrested last night at the NHL Awards party. And they took a photo just for me! I fangirlled right out of my socks. What could top that, you ask? @jfrancesw and the man himself. I should definitely be at an open bar party with Jeff Skinner. Can you […]
I alternate between muting and leaving the room when I’m uncomfortable with what’s on TV. So I watched the NHL Awards in fits and starts and really tried to only listen when a player was talking. The show was fairly agonizing, featuring some of the flattest jokes possible. I generally think Jay Mohr’s pretty funny […]
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GATOR! I thought you’d like to wake up and find this… well, on the blog if nowhere closer. But still. I left a lot of work for you and I don’t expect any of it to get done today. Steven trains to wheel your suitcase on your honeymoon (quads): Steven gets strong enough […]
