Time for another grueling round of Hot or Nots, brought to you by the great, hockey hotbed of Arizona. Let's be honest, the team had a nice mid-season playoff push, but besides that month or two of less idiotic play, they've regained their less than stellar losing form. Not only that, but I guess I better get them out of the way now before they re-locate considering no one in their right Arizonan mind would by tickets to watch a team who's best player to ever lace up their Coyote colored skates was Gretzky during practice. Not to mention, the sooner they move the Canada, the less interest I'll have and the vast amount of respect I'll lose for them. I'd like to end this relationship on a high(er) note than what could be a year from now, agreed?
The Hot:Whether I find Paul Bissonnette attractive because of his hilariously timed Tweets, or the fact that he kicked Joe Finley's ass in his first AHL fight, or the fact he has a beautiful set of teeth and I'm not sure how, OR simply because I'm throwing a pity party and all fourth liners are invited, he belongs here and that's that. I <3 BizNasty and I don't care who knows it.
I'm being pretty lenient on the next one, because although there are some facial flaws that would send him to the list below, anyone with the name Lauri Korpikoski, that is a MAN, and can almost pull it off deserves a big pat on the back from me. Antoine Vermette, oh baby oh baby oh baby. Can't complain about that one bit.
Kinda on the fence about Oliver Ekman-Larsson. For being the young stallion on the team, with dirty hands and a kickass name, he has the makings of superstardom. I just wish he didn't have such a round face. Also, I realize Michael Stone is trying to go for the badass look like most hockey players, but a smile really could've improved his picture. Nevertheless, I'm feeling generous today & considering all the old men upcoming.
The Not:
Let's kick it off with forward Gilbert Brule, who, before you crucify me for putting him at average, is already at disadvantage purely by looking at his birth certificate. The poor kid is only 25 years old, yet has been deemed an old man, no matter what age, with the name Gilbert. Second of all, cover up the bottom half of his face and you won't be as put off. Half a decent face is good enough to be average. Plus HEYOOO....look who all of the sudden appears infinitely more attractive. Also on the fence about Mikkel Boedker. In one way, his hair and eye combination would make even Hitler blush, and in another way, I'm turned off by his double chin. Can't have the best of both worlds in Denmark, I guess. As for Keith Yandle... always thought he was better looking than that. How disheartening for both of us.
I'm really quite disappointed in the turnout on this team, especially from the one player that is supposed to personify the team; take it upon his own shoulders to sacrifice his body, soul, and mind: their captain, Shane Doan. Unfortunately for him, he may have sacrificed a little too much of his body, specifically his face when blocking slapshots from the point. (Note: this probably never happened, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.) As for Boyd Gordon, for a 28 year old, and having the name 'Boyd' he's actually not too bad. Just need to completely do away with that awful hair and try to crack a smile, and we're halfway there. And unfortunately for Marc-Antoine Pouliot, he is no where near as attractive as former Wild player turned Bruin with the same surname, Benoit Pouliot. And that's not saying much.
I'm conflicted about Taylor Pyatt. Based on this photo, I've concluded that while he's one of the best looking guys on the team, and while he'd barely pass for 20 let alone 30 years old, I'm sorry to say he seems much to metrosexual. The eyebrows are too neatly trimmed for them to be natural, and his eyes pop so much that I'm convinced he's skating out on the ice Adam Lambert style. Everything seems just so right that it's totally, without doubt wrong. Radim Vrbata... no words. Other than possibly strange and/or disturbing. David Schlemko. Boring. To say I'm extremely disappointed in Chris Summers is an understatement. From what I recall during his Michigan days, he was quite the looker. I thought when you moved on to the NHL you got in better shape, more intense workouts, etc. Not regain the baby fat you lost after being expelled from the womb.
The "did you just dive off the Grand Canyon face first?"
Alexandre Bolduc.... ummm yeah. Things might've turned out differently if you had any sort of sense how to behave in front of a camera. Even Kyle Chipchura's awesome name cannot justify bumping him up to the above list, as his ugly face is just too ugly. Then there's Martin Hanzal who really reminds me of a less stylish form of Ovi, presumably with less skill, less sass, and a less tinted visor. Similarly, Daymond Langkow and Ray Whitney really seems like they belong on the Red Wings. If you catch my drift.
Raffi Torres is living proof that not only can being punched in the face repeatedly make someone considerably more disgusting, but also being hit repeatedly with branches from the ugly tree on your way down. And also that being a ginger will never help anyone's case unless you are of the Weasley lineage. I'm just very taken aback by Adrian Aucoin's piercing eyes, as well as other piercing parts, I'm sure. I'm really quite hypnotized and having a real tough time clicking the back button on my browser. So that's how he must get laid....
Rostislav Klesla really seems like he belongs on Lifetime, not a hockey team. As the rapist/thief/arsonist/killer/adulterer obviously. Aaand then I saw Derek Morris, and I laughed at how foolish my judging of Klesla was, and should've been applied to him instead. And Michal Rozsival would obviously be the Russian assassin. Just keeps getting better and better. Whoever wants to be the hopeless romantic that falls in love with one of these guys only to be shot by Michal, just let me know. 5 star movie in the makings.
Jason LaBarbera & Mike Smith the goalie duo...hahahhaha. Guess that's why they're goalies and have to wear a full mask all game. No one wants to see either of that.
