Winning!

Shut the front door. Even Charlie Sheen isn’t winning like the Blackhawks – 6 in a row with 25 goals scored in that stretch.  I can’t not post these! For some reason, it makes me want to sing this: Also the Sharks are on a crazy tear, and that’ll get a post this weekend.  They’ve […]

No Big Deal.

So busy… can’t stop working… WAIT.  Jonathan Toews was named the NHL’s February Player of the month. Huzzah! FIRST STAR — JONATHAN TOEWS Toews led all scorers in February with 21 points (six goals, 15 assists) and posted a +13 rating as the Blackhawks (34-23-6) collected points in 10 of 13 games (8-3-2) and climbed […]

Third Time's a Charm

It turns out The Force is not strong in this one.  It only works on Jonathan Toews.  For all my attempted mind control, the Blackhawks won yesterday but so did all the teams I wanted to lose.  Alas, two points are two points and it makes the win even more important.  It certainly didn’t come […]

Blackhawk Down!

So Patrick Kane likes his booze and his bunnies? What is wrong with that? I’ll wear a costume if it will get me a little bit of this and a little bit of that! Furbies rock! I don’t judge either. But if it starts interfering with your play, then maybe we need an intervention. Here […]

Workin' for the Weekend

The Blackhawks needed a big weekend and they got it.  Sunday it took a shootout for them to beat the Pens 3-2 and claim the desperately needed extra point.  It almost wasn’t enough. Monday, the Hawks ended up down 2-0 in the first period to St. Louis.  In the intermission, Captain Serious went all Miranda […]

Hot Streak: Jonathan Toews

While I’m sending positive energy all over the NHL lately (Pens, Tanguay, Green…), I don’t want to leave out the Blackhawks. The Hawks won 4-1 over Edmonton last night – they had to.  They’re 5-4-1 in the last 10,which is not going to get you through the tight pack at the middle of the Western […]

We Got Skills

The NHL announced the Skills Competition format for this year’s All-Star Game.  This has always been our favorite part of ASG weekend, because there is lots of skating without helmets. Lunchtime poll: Will Letang wears a helmet or not? He’d need a headband for sure but it’s a sin to cover up that hair.  Maybe […]

File Under May-December Bromance…

And you thought it was all Nicklas Backstrom? Ovi has a sugar daddy and it’s Teddy Leonis! Check out his snuggle buddy/fest outside his DVD release last week. Looks like Nicky has some competition.  Alex talks about what to expect when watching his new DVD which is now available in stores EVERYWHERE (YES – I pre-ordered my […]

They're here, they're here!

This is the best day of my your life! Two commercials featuring the comedy duo Toews & Kane have been located by our crack detective team.  Between these and all the Ron/Hermione love in the midnight show of Harry Potter, I am spaz-happy. First, a HUGE thanks to reader Jackie (now officially WUYS BFF) for […]

NHL Tuesday Night in NYC

While Dawn Cherrie and I were on a double date last night with Mike Green and Ovie, the rest of the NHL’s top 20 stars partied with Graydon Carter and the fancypants folks at Vanity Fair.  Well, fancy-ish.  Guests included “actor” Tom Cavanaugh and Olympic ice skater Evan Lysacek.  It kills me that we’re not […]

Hawks launch NHL '11

I’ve never been one for video games (as Mr. Pants sits across the room yelling at his StarCraft squadron).  But if I were going to play, it would be NHL 11.  Captain Howdoyoupronouncethat, Jonathan Toews and fan favorite Patrick Kane (who made my ultimate dream come true by bringing the Cup to a Jimmy Buffett […]
