Two Great Comments

Before you read today’s NHL assessment, let me divert your attention with the two “comments of the day”:
JD : “Okay, ever since you mentioned that you were trying to define the Sedins looks I can’t stop associating them with the “Bananas in Pajamas”. For some reason it just seems like you can talk yourself into the Sedins morphing into those guys somehow.”
Look how bang on this is:
And in second:
Officer Koharski: “Olli Jokinen’s head looks like a skull. A gigantic baby skull.”
Right? I also think he gets the vote for “person’s head/face I could most likely draw”. It’s like it’s on your first playstation, before the graphics got really good but they sort of tried to make guys face look accurate, but something about it just lacked detail. Just a thought.
I'm a hockey player turned writer. After playing for Alaska Anchorage in the WCHA (NCAA), I carried on with an NHL tryout (New York Islanders in 2007) before spending a couple seasons in the AHL/ECHL (last year was 2008-09). My father, Bob Bourne, won four Stanley Cups with the Islanders in the '80's, as did my fiancee's dad, Clark Gillies. I'm now the web editor for theScore's hockey blog "Backhand Shelf."
Dude, you were great here at UAA, did you by chance watch your former teammate Curtis Glencross yesterday?
duh, forgot to look at your old posts so im guessing you did
James Mirtle linked to this on his blog last month: http://olkaakunnolla.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-draw-olli-jokinen.html
Wow, that’s insane. I hadn’t seen that – how crazy is it that two seperate people, apparently from continents apart, were watching a hockey interview and going “wow… that guy would be easy to draw”
Yeah, I stay up pretty well on what Glenner’s doing. He’s one of those guys that’s so fast he looks like gravity doesn’t affect him. Just bounding along like Bambi. The leader in the deer-like grace skating category though: Duncan Keith. Didja see that gazelle out there?
Wow, I’m not really sure what’s sadder, the fact that I now have the “Bananas in Pajamas” theme song stuck in my head or the simple fact that I know the theme song, words and all, thereby allowing me to have it stuck on repeat in my head…
I think it’s easiest if we just lump the whole thing in as sad and leave it at that…
Olli gives me nightmares.
In other news, have you seen this?

You must be a long-time reader (super-long time I’m sure, since the blog is almost four months old) to know that I’m a sucker for this stuff. Great link. Don’t be suprised to see some of those pop up in a blog or two in the near future.
Oh yes

Yup, I’ve been here since the beginning. Other than the golf & anti-Rangers stuff, I’m totally hooked.
I like!
