Brief Hockey Notes and Links

So, have you heard that the world is going to end on Saturday?

Yeah, news to me, too. But some sportswriters mentioned it to Bruin Brad Marchand, since the team will be playing Saturday, so I guess the end could come while they're playing (it better not, I want to see the end of the game!). Marchand's a wise guy, so here's what he had to say:
“If we fall behind, it won’t matter anyways,” he said. “I’d much rather die with a lead though.”
Can you argue?

In other hockey news, one of the San Jose Sharks got flashed in the penalty box (and it was caught by cameras in Canada, though not apparently making it through to the US broadcast), which is pretty weird. She doesn't look drunk, though hard to be sure from one photo. Best quote from the story: "Keay said the CBC was hopeful fans would keep their passion more carefully hidden at future games."

And, if you want to see some impressively muscled arms, check out young* Tyler Seguin in this commercial. Mercy.

*Yes, I feel rather old to be looking at him that way. But hey, according to the coverage of Tuesday's game, he's a man now!

And hey, Tampa? Get a sense of humor. (The Bruins office needs a spine, too.) Sheesh.

Off to watch the game. Go Bruins!

  1. haha I love that sportscasters are now talking about it. Saturday is not the end of the world so much as it is Rapture. Apparently all the "good" Christians are going to vanish to go to heaven before the wrath comes. I myself will probably be indulging in some wine that evening with Mr. Bunny. haha
