A Different Sort of Hockey Post

Didja know The Onion has a sports section? No? Well, neither did I…but they do. And here’s a sample of their writing:

LOS ANGELES—Sources within the Red Wings organization confirm that goalie Chris Osgood, who is currently engaged in accompanying the Stanley Cup on a victory tour of talk shows and publicity events, has repeatedly and insistently claimed to have gotten as far as third base with hockey's championship trophy during the past week.

On Tuesday night Osgood, teammate Nicklas Lidstrom, and the Stanley Cup made an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno during which Osgood was seen repeatedly touching and attempting to hold the Cup. Witnesses say that after the segment had taped, Lidstrom left for the airport, while Osgood and the Cup left together for the Four Seasons Hotel.

Housekeeping staff said Wednesday morning that the Cup's room had not been slept in.

Heh. Just another “Kiss and Tell” piece...

Update: Forgot to give credit where credit is due for this post, and it's your Usual Hockey Suspects... the folks at Kukla's Korner. Where you'll also find stuff like this:

OK... that's a bit much, doncha think? I mean, I love my Wings...but wearing red tennies with a "2008 Stanley Cup Champions" logo?

I don't think so...
