Do you remember the phenomenal show ride of the Pittsburgh Penguins' captain Sidney Crosby with his BFF Talbot across Halifax, NS, Canada? It was almost army circle training - navy, air force, tank. He used an army chopper Sea King, he travelled in the boat as well as in the tank, he also slept with Lord Stanley - I mean the cup:]] The military atmosphere is back on the track. Sidney Crosby has a warrior helmet. Shame, I miss his mullet a la Mario and Jagr. I just saw a video of Jagr landing at Czech airport with his dumbo bimbo in limbo who played a star stalked by paparazzi whilst she cannot stop posing and posting her selfies with Jagr and his purchases for her. The best joke - Jagr's curls. Long mane. I cannot wait for Sid's mullet, it was prices but he was able to grow proper facial hair this season.
Shame, the Sharks are scarier this season as well. It is 2-1 now, the San Jose team has an advantage of one home game before they fly back to Pennsylvania to cling to the chance winning Stanley Cup. The Sharks's beards are scarier this season, they do not have helmets to look like the Vikings or any warriors. No, I do not mean that NBA team with famous Curry. There is Murray between the pipes for the Penguins, he will slide from the pole to the pole and guard the net, but I bet, that Matt is the last chance to block shots. Yes, the Sharks have scary fish amongst them - Marc Edouard Vlasic. It does not matter that gone is the Hertl's sweater. Vlasic is strong defenceman, like mellow bad ice at SAP arena. He follows Crosby like a shadow, his ghost, his fan boy. Sidney Crosby had no room to create any chance like pass to Letang for OT goal by Sheary in Game 2. If other rookie put the stamp on the other OT goal, this time for the San Jose Sharks, it is still about the old guards and guarding old veterans who are experienced enough and it means dangerous.
Vlasic is not underrated player, he is great player in defensive zone, he is all round player which is requested by the modern face of ice hockey. He is not just a household name but you can become a household name by different ways now, just see one hockey fashionista from the Rangers, who worked for Vogue and married a model. His skills? Ha ha. Vlasic blocked three shots in last game and breathed on Pens captain's neck. It seems to be de Boer analyzed the rival's game well, chopped it into small pieces and delegated tasks to each player. With well behaved squads with stiff upper lips and almost no penalty minutes under the belts, it will be more chess game than famous NHL play offs fights and fits with gloves in the air.
