Wednesday Observations -- Game 1

Just a few things I noticed Wednesday night...

  • Sean Avery was, is and always will be an arse... but a damn effective one. That Madison Ave. clipper on Mike Green was classic Avery. BTW, does anyone else think Green has the skinniest legs ever seen on a hockey player? What's up with that?
  • Scott Hartnell's grey matter clearly escaped custody prior to the game and made a mad dash to freedom; why won't his hair do the same thing?
  • Jordan Staal invited the Broadstreet Bullies to his coming out party. He proceeded to wrap them in a rainbow flag, applied the body liberally and then taunted their flaccidity. I'm going to love being a Peeping Tom on this series.
  • Jose Theodore's Propecia regimen has worked so well his hair is now in his eyes -- is there any other explanation for a couple of those goals?
  • Daniel Sedin loves to hang out in the kitchen on the power play and swipe the chocolate chip cookies while they're still warm -- didn't the Blues watch the Orca's game films? This guy makes his living scoring goals that way.
