As I write this, the Stanley Cup has yet to be awarded (If the Wings win it tonight, I beat all the boys!) Here are some quick thoughts that I have had while watching the series:
1) Marc-Andre Fleury looks like he could be one of the Three Musketeers. He should have a poofy lace collar, a big hat and a sword. I imagine Talbot and Crosby could be his other two Musketeers, but I could be wrong. I do know that this sounds like a great photoshop if done well.
2) Kris Letang is the worst fighter ever. I forget which Red Wing it was in Game five, but remember when Letang grabbed him on the jaw? That was weak, LeTang . Your grandmom pinching your cheeks at Thanksgiving has a better grip than you, LeFlavorAid. Maybe you should take lessons from Alex Semin. You’d still be a terrible fighter, LeStoreBrandOrangeDrink, but at least then it would be really funny to watch.
3) I watched an interview Henrik Zetterberg did on ice, and while he was trying to speak over the crowd, I thought, “I kind of want to hear him say either ‘This is Sparta! or ‘I am Beowulf!’, because unlike everyone else who tries to impersonate those lines, Zetterberg could do a good job of it.
4) Evgeni Malkin needs to go on tour with his lost family, The Jonas Brothers. He can play tambourine or something and sing the song that’s sweeping Pittsburgh, “Here we go Pen-guins, here we go *clap* clap*”. I’d buy a ticket for that, especially in about Week 3 when Evgeni loses it and punches one of them.
5) You might notice a slight bias towards the Penguins in my writing about the series, which is for two reasons: 1) they’re really fun to write and 2) I have a hard time telling the Wings players apart. Unless I get a clear view of name and/or number, they’re all just beard and Wings jersey to me.
6)Chris Osgood has almost no neck. This concerns me for some reason. He also has a tiny head.
