We all know that hockey players are foxy. I mean, why else would we devote an entire ~~blog~~ day to them?

Also foxy – the same hockey players with puppies.

Seriously.

Foxy Friday: Teemu Selanne

Chuck — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 20:25:45 +0000

We should be ashamed of ourselves.

How is it that in the almost two years that we’ve been doing this feature, that we haven’t yet honored one of the foxiest hockey players of all time?

Shame on us!

Well, we redeem ourselves today by honoring the one…the only…the future NHL Hall of Famer….the Finnish Flash himself….

TEEEEEEEMMMMMMMUUUUUUUU!

When you’ve been playing in the league for almost 20 years, there is no shortage of foxy. So here they are…

Current career NHL stats: 1,341 games played. 663 goals. 743 assists. 1,406 points. +97 rating. 620 penalty minutes. 248 power play goals. 106 game-winning goals. 4,333 shots.

In short – he’s really, really, really good at hockey.

He set the rookie records in goals (76 ) and points (132!) in his first season with the Winnipeg Jets in ’92-’93 and won the Calder Trophy.

In five years with the Ducks, he had two 100-point seasons and was nominated for the Lady Byng.

He is the leading all time points leader in men’s Olympic ice hockey and has 3 medals (two bronze, one silver).

He is an avid car collector and has entered rally events in Finland under the alias “Teukka Salama” which translates into “Ted Flash”.

His kids’ names are Eemil, Eetu, Leevi, and Veera. They sure do love their double Es in Finland. He taught kindergarten for three years before coming to the NHL which makes him insanely more loveable. As does this video.

This week, not only did he celebrate his 42nd birthday, (Seriously. What is in the water in Finland? The man doesn’t look a day over 35.) but he also announced that he would be returning to the NHL and the Ducks after signing a one-year deal.

We’re not sure how things will fare in Anaheim this year considering their start last year and the trade rumors surrounding Bobby Ryan, but whatever the outcome, we’re glad to know that #8 is going to be part of it.

Around The League In Milestone Minutes

It was a banner weekend ladies as many of our men made history and milestones: chillin in the dome with Jerome: Iggy got his 500^th goal.

Teemu got his 651st goal by the end of the night.

Little Danny Briere put on his big boy pants and got in his third ever fight and had a hat trick to boot.

Shane Doan got his first hat trick EVER with .o1 to go – YES and the Coyotes have really needed SOMETHING to get their party started.

And faster than you can say “Excuse me but does this stick in the face make me look fat?” the PA put the hammer down on the realignment and the Blue Jackets have fired their coach. Whew. There was a crap load of exciting hockey happening this weekend and I didn’t even cover Corey Perry’s hat trick – wait I just did.

So if you missed any of it, I suggest you watch the above because it was pure hockey magic. A banner weekend of nuggeted hockey gold wrapped tightly like a firecracker that exploded a little late for the new year but we’ll take it any way!

New Coach, New Girlfriend, New Attitude?

dawncherrie — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 18:17:56 +0000

Let's get this party started

So Ovi has a new coach, a new girlfriend so let’s hope that leads to a new attitude! Right? Well if the first game was any indication, I might jump ship – WHAT?! Just kiddding. That sound you just heard was Pants and Chuck simulatenously dropping over.

but only one named Letang

I’m so excited for the battle of the hotties tonight so remember to get your half rack ready and you HAVE TO DRINK everytime they mention St. Sid. This is mandatory. Then tell us how it went – if you recover – because I’m telling you, you’ll be amazed!

The Catzipals new attitude? Let's hope so

I can’t decide if I’m going to watch the Pit feed or the Caps feed because I kind of a have a crush on Staggy. He’s a glass is- over-flowing kind of guy. But Joe B. and Locker make me laugh because they get side-tracked alot. It won’t matter which feed you watch because St. Sid will be ALL OVER it. Let’s hope they all borrowed Ovi’s razor through. SRSLY!

even i think he looks better this way

Here’s the line up and I KNOW! WHERE’S LETANG!?! *SUPER SIGH* Ovi is going to be upset that his real boy toy is not playing. How can he pull off his jersey and play slip and tickle with his favorite pengiun?

the most epic bromance - EVER

PENGUINS

Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Sullivan-Malkin-Neal
Cooke-Staal-Kennedy
Asham-Park-Adams
(Vitale, MacIntyre)

CAPITALS

Ovechkin-Backstrom-Brouwer
Eakin-Johansson-Semin
Chimera-Laich-Ward
Hendricks-Halpern-Knuble-Perreault

On a side note, the Anaheim Ducks scooped BB as their coach so I wish him the best of luck and since every knows that I also have a crush on that ‘other’ #8 Teemu, GO DUCKS! DD is #8, Teemu is #8 and Ovi is #8 and Letang is #58 …. go crazy 8’s!

The Finnish Flash Drops The Gloves During Final Freeway Face-Off!

dawncherrie — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 18:38:13 +0000

I don't want to love you but I can't help it!

Last night’s game against the Kings wasn’t exciting for me since they lost and looked lost on the ice especially when Captain DT. Brown went out for a bit with a sore ouchie. (not minimizing his pain, just borrowing BB’s explanation for hockey player’s injuries) The only bright spot was an interview with Kopitar from the sidelines with Heidi Androl still trying to hit that! I think he might be that the last King’s hold out she hasn’t hit.

With a little over three minutes left in the game, tempers flared. Clifford cross-checks Teemu and Teemu returns the favor with a nasty elbow to the face and then Teemu gets double teamed with Richardson coming in on him. Brookbank takes Clifford and then Teemu squares off with Richardson.

While I do love Teemu (obviously) I don’t want any of my boys having to face him in the play-offs. He is still too dangerous.

Not bad for the Foxy-Forty-Finnish-Flash in his final regulation free-way face-off finishing with a flashy fight!

Another Great 8 Gets a 3-fer.

hat trick for hottie

Old men getting it done! Teemu Selanne pulls a hat trick out of his ass to put the Ducks past Colorado tonight. There must be something about that number. I secretly have a crush on the old man and it’s not because he wears #8 too like TBG and Ovi. OK, maybe because he does. No, not really. He just get’s it done like Lidstrom, the other old man in the NHL but he seems to get less attention. This is his 22nd hat trick, 124th multi-goal game and this makes him the 4th over-40 dude to get a hat trick. Whew. 40 – the new 20?

Newsies!

Not the epic movie musical, just the stories that I felt like sharing today…

Jonathan Toews took a puck to the face last night. I yelled “NOT THE FACE!” so loud the neighbors thought I was watching Top Model. I’d prefer he not get hit anywhere, but let’s leave the facial sacrificing to Duncan Keith. There’s video of him shaking it off like a man and not leaving the ice. He got a goal in the shootout and the Hawks won.

Canadian Gladiators

I picked up John Tavares and Patrick Sharp for my fantasy team. The Islanders are killing it and have the 3rd highest goal total in the League (CI cheers in the background). Sharp had 3 game-winners in a row before last night and has 6 goals in 7 games. Now that they’re playing for me, they will immediately stop producing points of any kind. Sorry guys.

Teemu Selanne (40 and Foxy!) and his round helmet scored their 609th career goal, putting them at #16 on the all-time scoring list (video). The Finnish Flash scored for a team (Ducks) that didn’t exist when he started with the NHL against a team (Blue Jackets) that didn’t exist then either. He misses Paul Kariya something awful, and so do I.

Movin' on up

Mike Green won’t play tonight when the Caps take on Boston. He didn’t even make the trip to see Chuck, which is kind of rude. His injury is “undisclosed upper body” and Dawn is cursing him via text every 8 minutes for leaving the Caps D with their pants down. Mike left the game on 10/13 and has missed 2, listed as day-to-day. We here at CSI: NHL have deduced the injury is to Mike’s right (shooting) side.

Not what I meant by "hold on tight"...

He attended the Caps Season Ticket holder party at Six Flags on 10/18 looking all J. Crew and rode the roller coasters. Video is here, where a fan calls Fidget out for being “too chicken to put his hands up on the Superman ride.” Bitch please – no questioning Mike’s manliness is allowed at WUYS. We’re going to blame that on his injury: he lifts his left arm in the video, so you do the math. Hurry back, Mike, or I’m sending you my phone bill. Dawn is annihilating my data plan with expletives about your teammates.
