Good wow or bad wow? It has to be good wow...right?
A little background on that photo-it was taken after warm-ups the night they clinched a playoff spot and he assisted on the GWG in OT. That night was so worth the ticket and gas money and the 10 hour round trip. :)
Very good. Yes. yes yes.

Here’s a link to 7 minutes of listening to Timmy after the golf outing yesterday. How does he get an accent like that? He was detailed in his commnets and way more fun to listen to than A Ward chatting up the press (not hard) and Staal (sheez – how deep is his repertory of sports cliches? yawn).
Not as fun as watching LTS’ post of Ruutu speak Finnish. Perhaps if there was video…

Because no blog is worth its clicks

or from the ever helpful LTD last week

Am I nuts?

And then, because you knew it had to be coming:

Victor Hedman, #2 pick overall in July. The only draftee that the TV announcer somehow felt compelled to tell us all had “a live-in girlfriend”.

Here’s a surprise LTD put up today. Our other newest D also has potential

I think Rutherford was watching out for us, realizing the importance of woman pauloihinsa to the bottom line.

I couldn’t find an image on LTD’s site where he was smiling. I do believe AA will be a big improvement for everyone involved.

Last one – perhaps it was a language thing, but it seems Pavel missed the warning about the dangers of letting a fan take a photo that might re-emerge on a google search.

He’s not that bad looking really. This is just tragic.

Yknow, maybe we could have taken a different approach to this topic. Next year, let’s do a 30-in-30 type thing, highlighting the hottest players from each team in the League. We could then develop criteria to determine which teams won their conference etc. I think it’s a foregone conclusion that the Canes would make the finals. Not sure who would win in the West….Any thoughts?

locker room maybe
But as we learned when Canescup posted this in the winger section, there is always the risk of TMI.

(judging from the hair, this was awhile ago)
Staying with the theme of both D in the locker room:
I still can’t believe ice_chip tweeted this comment and didn’t back it up with visuals.
Tues 3:15pm: Tim Gleason swears he hasn’t lost any weight but the defenseman looks leaner and in great shape.
I was imagining he was talking with the guys in the locker room when he made this observations.

all joking aside I did get to meet him and managed somehow to keep my composure long enough to get a pic with him….one of the best days EVER!! sigh…
he’s one of the few who usually signs after a game, come stalk with me sometime!!! LOL!! (me and my stalker in training)
1 – true
2 – Not sure if he wasn’t married awhile ago. Actually, once I found out Cam was already married by the age of 22, there seemed no point to knowing this information about anyone. =D

Yeah the eyes get me everytime. Especially when they are light with dark hair a la Patrick Sharp of Chicago.
The picture reminded me of this interview from the All Star game. He’s the very last one, but IMO, the best part.
TOOOOO FUNNY – the whole thing – now that video alone makes this whole exercise worth it (not that we needed any more reasons). Thank so much!

Not bad???
I’d say – well done, jenni.
This whole thing is going very well. And getting way more traffic from a few of us than the guys generated on their fantasy discussion. Not to mention we are now 3 of the top 5 spots of most commented posts on CC. Can’t argue with those numbers; can you say “momentum”?

This needs to become a regular feature of the offseason and possibly a “back by popular demand” piece during the regular season too.
Y’know, maybe when Harwood or Cory is assembling a pre-game analysis for the games through out the season, one of us can analyze which players from the opposition have strongest hottie quotient (which I’ve determined is the closest English translation we’re going to get of that Finnish expression: woman pauloihinsa ; ie woman pauloihinsa = hottie quotient, or hq). Think how much fun that would be to research.
It might be just one bullet point of the analysis, but likely to be appreciated by the GF’s here.
afterward we can post the best photos demonstrating our hq evaluations. Kind of a GF’s “3 stars”.
Thoughts?

Another more revealing view:

From a blog devoted to Hockey hotties -“Hockey for the Ladies”
Interestingly – this is her top banner.

Apparently she, like many northern hockey fans, is not familiar with the Hurricanes. (She’s in Pittsburgh)
However – I do recommend a trip to the blog and search “eye candy” – really.

from Sundays 5k run


Timmy is lookin buff, though I think I prefer the longer hair. Further motivation to make it to the playoffs.

He almost looks like Tim Thomas in the top one – Maybe that’s just me.

Hedican
It’s Bret Hedican. I moved to Raleigh the fall before they won the cup, and this is one of my favorite memories of the aftermath. It’s The Onion’s take on our win, which I thought was hilarious. If you haven’t read it, it’s worth it:

I’m a big fan of The Onion. :)
OMG – That is unbelievably funny. There are tears streaming down my face and my dog thinks something is wrong! SO glad I asked. Thank you for posting!
(I do like the Onion too, just dont seem to get there enough.)
