A few humorous notes…
Despite the big win last night and the joy all of us Detroit fans are currently feeling, I still couldn’t pass up these few humorous notes. And before I get to those, here’s an interesting thought. The Avs scored 9 goals in four games. Johan Franzen scored 9 goals in four games. Ride the Mule to the Cup!
The guys at Melt Your Face Off give a few tips on how to become a Jack Adams finalist:
1) If you have the best defenseman in hockey on your team, play him a lot. Say, 26:43 or so a night. Special note: play him on both the penalty kill and power play, whenever possible.
2) It is an extremely smart move to have two forwards who are capable of scoring 90+ points. And who are also two of the top defensive players in the league. They should also play a lot.
3) …
4) Profit! I mean, Win Jack Adams award!
Bruce MacLeod notes that as Pavel Datsyuk becomes more comfortable with his English, his humor becomes more noticeable.
“Pavel, you’ve played before with Ilya Kovalchuk. What tournaments were you in together?”
“World Cup. Olympics. Baltika Cup. You put that in for me. Baltika (maker of a Russian beer). Free promotion for Russian business. Maybe they send me bucks.”
Here’s Mike Babcock’s reasoning on why Swedish prospect Fabian Brunnstrom should come play for Detroit:
“It’s so obvious it isn’t even funny. Just move into Novi, little Sweden, hang out like it’s the old country. I can’t even understand why anyone else is in the running. It makes no sense to me whatsoever. All they (Swedes) do is come here, they’re comfortable, they play better than they ever have in their life.”

Babcock got it wrong. Everyone knows that little Sweden is in Canton, at Ford Rd and I-275. Novi is Little Lichtenstein.
