Go Play Outside

The ‘stache is gone. Hallelujah. [Video] Somebody looks like a sleepy puppy.  Also, I really like this sweatshirt.  Not a great sign that it’s all he needs to wear outside in December, but hey.  They skated and the game is on (for now). Bonus: Jordan lost the shootout and had to run to the upper […]

Newsies: 3-2-1 Contact

Today’s stories are brought to you in order of importance.  No.  In order of who I think is hottest. (So basically like every day here, right?) 1) Crosby’s point streak ended last night at 25 games and I bet Dawn was ringing a church bell in Spokane.  Sid was pouty-pants after the game, probably as […]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Wedding favors for everyone!  Sidney Crosby Lip Balm.  BOOM.  Thanks to my BFF and future doctor Michelle for this one – AMAZING.  She really wants to go to med school in Pittsburgh so I can visit. Featured in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette [link]: If you’re a lucky ticket holder for this weekend’s Winter Classic, be sure […]

Class Act – A Senator – Not Our Politicians

Fist off, I can’t believe I’m writing about the Penguins. Secondly, yes, this is a few days late but between an emergency vet visit on Christmas Day, (Moe ate curling ribbon – still waiting for it to come out the other end – oh joy!) the food coma I’ve been in and the pants I’m stuck in […]

We Feel Pretty

On Sunday, the Penguins were down 3-0 to the Senators in the 3rd period.  But the power of the mustache prevailed – Crosby got a goal with 3+ minutes left to keep the streak (and the stache) alive. I have to say Sid must drink a lot of milk because his skin is amazing. [Today’s […]

Merry Christmas to Me!

Santa has come early!  Do you think this store sells trampolines? Because I would like to… [censored]. French fries, French toast… *faints* OMG SID IS WEARING A VEST. Unexplainable squees. Posted because Sid *just* extended his streak to 22 games.

Hockey Fans are the BEST!

Puck Daddy did a Hockey Fan art contest on his blog and here are some of the winners. They are truly works of art which makes me think that next year, we at WUYS should have our very own contest but it should be limited to Ovi, Sid, Geno, Mikey and a few other players […]

Over Capacity

A hundred years ago I started a “Who to Follow” on Twitter post for NHL players, media and personalities.  I’m getting to it shortly, I promise. As the Coyotes play in Pittsburgh tonight, they posted this item about who loves former Penguin (and Foxy Friday) @BizNasty2point0‘s Twitter feed.  The answer: everyone. Not very many NHL […]

Awkward Turtles!

No need to set your DVRs for Monday – the Sid & Ovi Price is Right appearance video is here.  And it is weird. Sidney, why are you wearing your shoulder pads?  You’re jacked but that is silly.  And reading the cue cards… sigh.  When Ovi’s unintelligible English is doing a better job delivering lines […]

HBO 24/7… We Wish

The only way to properly sum up the awesomeness of Penguins/Capitals: Road to the Winter Classic is to treat you to the real-time Twitter conversation between me and Dawn last night.  Please note, I had to rewatch the entire show because I was giggling so much the first time. The Penguins watched the show as […]

Buy Me Something Nice

I just sit here and laugh all day.  Everyone thinks I’m crazy but they can’t see this.  It’s from the Penguins Online Store, where you can buy my Christmas present.  The title of this series is Awkward Turtle.  Sid looks stiff as a board and really, Geno?  They had to photograph him in various stages […]

Weekend Warriors

My power to influence the universe continues to impress – I pick Ryane Clowe for Foxy Friday and what happens? He scores 2 goals vs. the Blackhawks on Saturday night and singlehandedly wins the game!  He’s named NHL  First Star of the Week!  I should start gambling. Alas, I am mad at Ryane because he […]

I'll Never Stop.

My brain is like the All-Crosby Channel. Check out this video of Sid practicing his hand-eye coordination and stick handling.  Reebok, you bring us all the best b-roll. You might think “wow” or “impressive” or even “oo-er.”  I’m thinking, “Why can’t he do this while wearing a tank top?  Come on!” You may have seen […]

Edge of Seventeen

The Penguins winning streak is at 11 games (14 unbeaten counting 1 shootout loss) and Sidney has 200 goals in 3 games.  Or something like that.  All signs point to awesome… except for this. All these guys are pranksters, right?  Love a good practical joke?  Well this is one.  How many gross superstitions can I […]

Sid & Ovi – Vanity Fair Video

With friends like these, who needs enemies?  Sid and Ovi will be featured in the January issue of Vanity Fair. They may be dressed like waiters but it doesn’t take much to get us all riled up.  NHL.com posted this behind-the-scenes video of the photoshoot. There’s also this teaser blog from Vanity Fair and this […]

Winter Classic TV Spot

The NHL debuted the first Winter Classic ’11 commercial during Sunday Night Football [Video].  To quote the greatest movie of all time: “I know you can be overwhelmed, and I know you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?”  “I think you can in Europe.” – 10 Things I Hate About You […]

Yes, I'll Shop There

During November, I saw the Penguins play in Anaheim, Atlanta, Buffalo and New York.  Clearly this is the reason Crosby has 26 points in a 13-game streak and was named NHL November Star of the Month.  Such is my power. To thank me (mostly for the 15 hour roundtrip drive to Buffalo), Crosby happily made […]

Say It Ain't So… Please! and Other News

Holy Whining Sidney Crosby! Mr. Cherrie gave me the shock of my life when I got home from work tonight tellingme he heard rumors of a trade between the Washington Capitals and the LA Kings. Pants can attest to the fact that I complain like Sid about the lack of defense on the Caps. The great, fabulous […]

Thank you for…

Happy Thanksgiving!  On this American holiday, we here at WUYS would like to say thank you, Canada. Our underrated neighbor to the north doesn’t get enough love from anyone but hockey fans.  And last night, as I drove past the Canada exit on I-90 and turned toward the Penguins game in Buffalo, I actually yelled […]

Winter Classic HBO Preview

Pack your mittens and get excited – HBO ran a 12 minute preview for 24/7 Road to the Winter Classic. It’s Pants vs. Dawn in the freezing cold at an hour when no one should be awake on January 1.  As MAX TALBOT says, “Bring it on.”  (I think Max would be flattered to see […]
