Bring a Friend...

NHL Awards start in less than two hours!!! Grab a beer (or some cheesecake) and a friend (or two) and go watch!!!

Tonight we dedicate this post to our good friend Marshall who is serving overseas in Iraq. Marshall is on his second deployment in five years. He's been gone three months now and we miss him TONS! Marshall is a big hockey fan like us (or we like to think he is anyway) and he's been with us to a couple of games since he's been gone. We've incorporated "Marshall on a Stick" into our road travels and he's learning all about hockey. Actually, he only made it to one game. He was passed out in the backseat of the car for the second game (i.e. We forgot him, sorry Marshall. We're horrible friends.) Marshall's favorite player is Brooks Orpik (he just doesn't know it yet). If you are reading this, we want you all to know how much we appreciate our troops and we ask that you take the time to stop and say thanks to a soldier for all he or she does for us.

Anyway, we've decided since all of our players can't win an award, we'll give out our own awards.

So, here we go:

Best Ass: Sidney Crosby

Best Abs: Hal Gill

Best Eyes: Brooks Orpik

Best Looking Staal: Jordan Staal (although Enforcer and Slasher disagree, Guardian and I outvote them... and the other Staals aren't on this team, therefore, Jordan wins)
