Your analysts have worked hard. I would be interested in knowing the mathematical equation used to determine the difference between hot and not hot and hot and hawt.
I'd love to tell you, but those equations are proprietary. =)
Dan Boyle looks like an evil henchman. Maybe he should have shaved first.
Heh heh heh! Totally!
I think you should reject Shea Weber on the basis of that soul patch alone.
I haven't done this with our women's national team, but I did note that Gillian Apps (granddaughter of the great Syl Apps) looked quite hot (which also features the hot Iginla and the not-hot Phaneuf) in this Nike ad: http://bit.ly/8BJlyD
The soul patch can be removed easily enough. Or are you figuring that choosing to have a soul patch is an indication of a douchebag personality?
I didn't know that Syl Apps' granddaughter was on the women's national team. That's very cool. A bit of a tangent: there was a juvenile detention centre named after Syl Apps in the town I grew up in (after his hockey career, he went into politics and became Minister of Correctional Services). The first time I heard of it, I thought it was called the "Slaps Centre" – which seemed a bit inappropriate.
Yes, I would say that the soul patch speaks to his character. Though, you know, we all made bad hair mistakes in our youth.
I don't know, I think 'Slaps Centre' is a pretty good name for a juvenile detention centre.
For sure – growing up in the 80s means that bad hair mistakes defined our generation.
Brodeur, way hotter than Greasy Luongo. Rick Nash = hottie.
Otherwise an excellent analysis.
I can see why you like Rick Nash – he kinda looks a bit like your husband! Not my type though.
And I agree that Brodeur is way hotter than Greasy Luongo. Just not hot enough to rank hottie in my books.
Morrow? Really? I have to say I don't see it…
For me, Crosby is your archetypal "near miss". All the right components are there, but they just don't fall together quite right. See also: Bieksa.
Iginla has a lovely smile, which goes a long way in my book. Lu looked waaaaaaaay better with short hair.
Thanks a lot and I’ll subscribe to the blog so I can keep reading.
Alot of the time i see pages with silly comments and thought wouldn’t it be nice to be one.. Nice blog found you via google. Will check back. See what other jems you post.
