Things I Realized While Watching the 2009 NHL All-Star Game

1. Alex Ovechkin has taken Mike Ricci's place as the ugliest guy in the league:



That picture doesn't really do his hideousness justice. I saw one shot of him and he looked just like Sloth. That's my first real photoshop experience. Yay.

One more thing about AO, does anyone else think he puts off a serial-killer type of vibe? I think he may very well be certifiably insane. That might be his advantage over all the other players in the league.

I'm just sayin' he's kind of creepy, that's all.

2. The Canadiens are to Montreal and hockey what the Yankees are to New York and baseball.

They are the pulse of the sports scene in their respective cities, consistently showing up on the front page.



Their fans are so spoiled they expect a championship contender every season.

Habs fans, however, are among the most loyal and knowledgeable fans in all of pro sports.

3. Evgeni Malkin has got a bag full of trick moves. He scored this goal during the second period of the ASG in Montreal:





It seemed like every time Malkin got the puck in the offensive zone he would try some crazy practice-only move.

Overall, I would say the ASG was fairly entertaining.
