Is this the face of a 22 year old boy in the peak of his career, living the happiest years of his life? Is he the wonderkid of Edmonton with the "baby cute" cheeks while he whizzes around like some great Czech dude amazingness? Despite his new contract, he had no time to get some new teeth. Either that or all those high school bullies turned up at his home and mugged him for lunch money. And call me a creep but part of me wants to scoop him up and rock him to and fro. Course he's probably taller than me and we'll take a while trying it out.
Hey, if success in the Oilers franchise is meant to curse you with creepy mugshots, Horcoff confirms it all.
But it's not all that bad, some goalies learnt from their past mistakes and cleaned up. The SQUEE-factor on Jussi's colgate winning smile is off the charts. If I had twenty seconds with the Juice and I'll never see him again, the first and possibly only question will be about the teeth. How does he keep them so beautiful? Of course afterwards I will cover his head with a cloth bag and abduct him to my summer home.
I'm crushed that Jussi didn't make the hot off though. It's the apocalypse. Finnish men deserve a fair go and I blame lydia who forced a last minute tiebreaker. I will continue to act gallantly in the Oilers fan tradition and boo her whenever she votes.
Roloson tries on his bedroom eyes for a change and still makes me swoon. Seriously, it could be worse. The camera has ultimately deducted 10 years from his skin. Or his wife lent him some new skincare products. Either way, Jussi will have to make room in that closet in my summer home.
Worthy notables include my darling Steve-o whose antics as a hockey player may have left him a little balding, however he's still ruggedly handsome in a distressed house-husband kind of way. And remember wife-cheating Moreau? He's gotten the 10-years-younger treatment as well. It's funny how months ago I would bitch and moan about how much smaller these guys' heads were in proportion to their body. However it's become a symbol of manliness and they probably have funny stories about bedsheets being a little too short.
Lastly, our captain Canada Smytty just looks... like Smytty. And Pisani emulates Roli from last year and thinks looking stoned is the only way to go.
AND CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GET POULIOT SOME FACE CLEANSER? PLEASE?
And congratulations to hockeygirl, whose blog has become a shining home of refuge for all Dion Phaneuf fangirls and is worth a daily/weekly read so you can boost that counter up.
And a post without images!? Jordi you're losing your touch they'll say.
I woke up in the middle of the night because my neck gave me the toughest time of being a bitch. Nonetheless in the middle of my drowsiness I thought of many things, including, Shakespeare, tomorrow, and what I should do to change my life (what every woman does but rarely achieves). However to my delight I managed "Ty harder" Conklin to be invented in my mind for lameness. And as well with the loss of Conkannen, I felt Jussoloson or Juloson was something that needed to be started.
While there was stuff about Samsonov whom I have started loving (I've always been able to say "Your mother is a hippo" in Russian), Moreau has captured my heart of being the best guy to love. I'm not one to fall over every player with a decent looking face. And while I like Pisani because of his Italian charm, Moreau is an interesting one. The third Ducks game where all hell broke loose was great. Not only did I get to see my man Laraque just totally make Freddy his bitch, but the whole anger and determination that surfaced. Sure in the last period it seemed to sort of crumble to a mess of senses and anger, the first period topped it on being one of the most rewatchable games.
And it brings me to my first thought of Moreau being awesome. Game 2 finals, everyone just plain sucking. I liked it when Samsonov fell on Ward. And not that way. I mean his penalty got him all riled and he smacked the stick against the boards. I like seeing people fight like this, and I fell in love with this 5 foot something Russian who was just so cute! Though it was painful, it was interesting. Moreau came soon after Sammy in the penalty box, with some asshat penalty I don't remember. But watching him all torn and angry made me go "hey, I didn't know he was this hot."
Here comes the beard argument. My sister complains about beards. Does everyone hate beards or something? Sure Sammy's was just part of his transformation, but Moreau's one was a sort of "five o'clock shadow" esque of sorts. It was too rough for my sister, but I like it.
Maybe it's because I have this image of Moreau being this total gangster, he sits on a leather chair with cuban cigars while he smacks bitches. Well he has a wife and two children (what is this!? Pleasantville!? Why the hell are all the great players married! Don't you dare suddenly marry Sammy!) and he probably does great community service. After all as the A he turns up to "thank his fans" allong with Smyth's mullet, Laraque, and the otherpeoplewhodontmatter (Pisani, Smith & Staois). It's just his "image".
Google searches come up with "who the feck is he?" and google image searches after a while turn up with people who are definitely not Ethan Moreau.
So everyone loves him now. He's a keeper that one. And best of all, he might fill the void of other players leaving. I can imagine him kicking some ass, maybe become the Oilers' central fighter guy. I remember after watching the team scramble in the first period of Game 3 vs the Ducks, I was thinking "Moreau would have a field day if he were on ice". Minutes later, his gloves were off.
Here's to you Moreau! I'd take your poster over Pronger's any day!
