Once there was a man. His name was Daryl Reaugh, aka Razor. Once this man did an interview with Tyler Seguin. A photo was taken. This photo, to be exact. Photo removed by copyright request. You can see it at www.stuffabouthockey.com/blog and stars.nhl.com. In any other realm, we’d be talking about Razor in this photo because he’s kinda of […]
Chuck here! Hello from 37,000 feet! Yup, that’s right. This Tyler Tuesday is coming to you from somewhere over America. Sure, I have no legroom and the guy in front of me just leaned his seat back, but I don’t care. It’s Tyler Tuesday! Fittingly I was in Texas this week for a work conference. […]
Today marks what I hope will be a semi-annual feature extolling the virtues and magnificence of one very special person. Like my esteemed colleague Pants, and her undying love for Mike Green, my love and admiration for Tyler Seguin has become too great and all consuming for it to not have its own dedicated day. […]
Happy New Year! Happy Foxy Friday! It’s our First Foxy Friday of the Year and we’re starting it off right. It all actually started in 2013 when there I was, just minding my own business, drinking a glass of delicious scotch, talking on the twitter, when WUYS reader @sarahconnors drops this Foxy Friday bomb on […]
For those of you who may not know, Pants and I are proud alumnae of Boston University, Class of We’ll-Never-Tell-For-Fear-Of-Revealing-Our-True-Ages. BU is a college hockey powerhouse and consistently produces NHL players. Right now there are a plethora of former Terriers representing in the big show – Nick Bonino, Alex Chiasson, Kevin Shattenkirk, Colin Wilson, and […]
From ugly sweater photos and awkward, Russian-accented renditions of “Jingle Bells”, lots of NHL teams are getting into the holiday spirit. Now comes the Bruins’ turn – and it’s a Christmas gem. The Bear in the Gang – A Christmas Spectacular In this Bear and the Gang Christmas Spectacular, the team is all gathered in […]
The Boston Bruins’ faux sitcom, The Bear and the Gang, returns “December-ish” and recently, they released this little teaser. I can never, EVER unsee this. Ever. The faux-show promises to be pretty delightful and awkward – which is pretty much the mantra of this blog.
Did Saturday’s Bruins/Pens debacle really happen? I kept hoping to wake up and find that it was all just a horrible dream. But alas, it was not. That mess really did happen. I’m disgusted in both teams because they are better than that. They have really made me mad. Like flames on the side of […]
Sometimes being a Foxy Friday isn’t about being the #1 star or scoring all the goals. Sometimes it is about being funny and charming and adorable. And totally crush-worthy. This week’s honoree has got it in spades. So let’s look at the reasons why Barty gets this week’s honor (besides his obvious awesomeness) In the […]
Hockey players. Puppies. Two of the things we love most in the world. Put them together and let the seal-clapping and squeeeeeing commence. The Boston Bruins released their own 2014 calendar – just in time for the holiday season, natch – and here are some of the highlights I have no idea what is going […]
Last night was Bruins vs. Penguins so you knew that both of us were going to have to weigh in. The two best teams in the East faced off last night and the over arching theme was resiliency. After the Penguins tied it up with 0.3 seconds left to send it to OT, some teams […]
Last night, Bruins finally managed to put together a solid “60 minute effort”, as the kids like to say. You know who is happy? Granted it was against the Carolina Hurricanes, who are taking a long ride on the struggle bus, but the effort was the Bruins’ most consistent of the season and they were […]
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 […]
You fill in the blank. Last night, Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley both scored in the shootout to lift the Stars over the Bruins. Perhaps it is a little poetic justice for those two guys who had to endure the embarrassing and juvenile booing and chants each time they touched the puck. Booing? Really? Why is that […]
After his abrupt and somewhat surprising departure from Boston this summer, tonight marks Tyler Seguin’s return to Boston. It’s been four months since the fireworks of the July 4th trade that sent Seguin to Dallas Stars. The pain of that day still stings at times, but like any resilient New Englander, I just have to […]
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 […]
Today, we’re heading out west for our Foxy Friday Honoree. Ryan O’Reilly The basics – Born in 1991. 6′ ft, 200 lbs centerman. Drafted by the Avalanche 33rd overall in 2009. Career stats – 269 games played, 47 goals, 83 assists. Now those are all well and good but let’s get down to the real […]
Hertl for Calder. Okay, so perhaps it is a bit premature to be saying that, but after what Tomas Hertl did last night, can you really blame us? The San Jose Sharks rookie forward scored 4 goals (!) last night. Each goal he scored was more impressive than the one before and his piece de […]
Forget Christmas! The start of NHL Hockey season truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Time to wipe the slate clean as 32 teams being their journey yet again to claim the ultimate trophy in sports. This season, the NHL returns with a new (ish) look – new divisions, new faces, and […]
For a while, I’ve been secretly lamenting the sad lack of behind the scenes Bruins footage. It seemed like every other team in the NHL was out there, posting juicy clips and video packages, giving their fans a delicious glimpse into their inner workings. All franchises except the Bruins. Perhaps they were and I just […]
