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.
The biggest question of the 2011 Free Agent market has been answered. And the winner is… NYR Fan Steph. The Rangers have given Brad Richards a 9 year deal worth $58.5 million. [NHL.com] Other teams that may have asked Brad to dance were Toronto, Calgary, LA, Tampa Bay and Philly. How the Flyers have any […]
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 […]
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 […]
The NHL 2011-12 schedules have been released. Lives have been rearranged. And the most epic birthday party of all time has been planned: MINE. It’s one day early (two days if you’re Mike Green), but I will be celebrating my birthday by holding Gator’s beer as she climbs to glass to get to Steven. [Complete […]
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 […]
Steven’s break-up day interview was less sad than expected [video]. Also on the bright side, his busted face is healing very nicely. Little puffy-eyed shiner action just makes him look tough. The beard was good while it lasted, eh? One of our favorites this season. He even had a few smiles for the summertime. Well […]
Chuck (Ron) and Pants (Harry), circa Bruins/Lightning Game 7. Stamkos gets hit in the face: The Bruins score to take a 1-0 lead: The game ends: Yes Chuck, that really happened!! Congratulations to the Bruins. Make room for me on your wagon because we’re going to Vancouver!
I have no problem saying that hockey players are tougher than other athletes. Sure each sport has tough guys and heroic stories, but those are exceptions. This is the norm: Steven Stamkos, you’re a BAMF. He’s also 21 and in his first ever playoff run, and facing his second game 7 elimination situation. What does […]
After Tampa Bay beat Boston in Tampa Bay for Game 6, Nathan Horton purposely picked up a water bottle and sprayed a Tampa Bay fan with a water bottle and then threw it at the fan as he left the ice for the locker room. Yes, the fan was yelling something at him but so were […]
Guy Boucher is confused. He wants to beat the Bruins but he can’t hurt you while wearing this shirt. This man makes the greatest faces. He’s like Jonathan Toews in 20 years.
Chuck is inconsolable today about having the face Game 7 tomorrow night in Boston. Baby, this is the story of my life. Try to remember that drama is what the playoffs are about. It’s why we love them. That sick-to-your-stomach feeling that ends in leaping around the living room or lying face down on the […]
This about sums up how I’m feeling about last night’s Bruins loss in Game 6… Chuck does NOT love. Not even one little bit.
Sorry Chuck but the Dark Side beckons … they have cookies! PANTS: Sorry for the post-jack Dawn, but I have to add my Tweet from last night.
Bieksa the Berserker was the only one who knew where the biscuit was on the ice … with a freaky deaky goal in double OT and down go the Sharks. It’s 17 years to the day that Vancouver claims the Western Conference title in a double OT as well and will face either Boston or Tampa Bay for […]
The Atlanta Thrashers may or may not be moving to Winnipeg. Mostly because they have to find this guy first and make sure he’s sobered up: Canadian Man calls 911 and demands to have Winnipeg Jets back Apparently the move will be announced Tuesday. I had a great (and very blurry) time at a Thrashers […]
If only this article would have come out BEFORE the Capitals played Tampa Bay then maybe they would have stood a chance! But NO! On the other hand, do hockey fans really read Sports Illustrated? Because they hardly EVERY cover anything on hockey. It would have been the best kept secret, like it still is. […]
Now that you won’t be able to get this song out of your head, it’s the battle of the Super Twins, Count Von Count-anyone-can-do-this-job VS. Jumbo Scrimp (Oxy-Maroon), I’m-still -Cryin’ Patty Mar-where’s-the-loo and Logan Haute-Couture. Who will win the West-Coast Battle for the Cup? I called Vancouver in the Wayback Machine. On the East Coast […]
We present to you Timmy “The Tank” Thomas and Martin “Squishy” St. Louis, circa 1996… BABY HOCKEY PLAYERS!! Watch the awesome video, complete with stellar 90’s soundtrack! In 1996, Pants and I were juniors in high school. She had a curly afro and I had reaaaally long hair and wore Doc Martens. In 1996, the […]
