It's winger week here on the O-Pee-Chee dating game! Let's find out more about these gents from the back of their cards.
Not many hobbies listed this round, but some interesting information nonetheless. Okay folks, who wins the date with a nice young lady?
Bachelor number 1: Lindy Ruff, who scored his first NHL goal in his very first NHL game.
Bachelor number 2: Dave Lumley, travel enthusiast.
Bachelor number 3: Rookie Joe Mullen, who has good balance and good hands.
Mullen is a no brainer. If he can handle the puck, he can handle anything.
ReplyDeleteExample given: If our nice young lady in this week's episode enjoys dancing, then Mullen's good hands and good balance will come in handy.
DeleteI'm just intrigued that "is a bachelor" is translated as "is not married" on Lumley's card, but not the others. Also that the French word for "single" is "célibataire", which has interesting connotations to English speakers. But, yeah, Mullen. Not only can he handle things, but he has good balance--you need a good balance in your life. And, actually, he went on to a good career and he won two Lady Bing trophies, so, yeah, he probably was a pretty good guy actually.
ReplyDeleteGood observation, Brett! I think Julie from A Cracked Bat said something similar about the translations a while back. Could "is not married" have meant that Lumley was dating a nice young lady at the time, while "single" meant "eligible bachelor"?
DeleteAs for Mr. Mullen, yes, the Lady Byng trophies will go over well with our nice young lady this week. I'll add that Mullen would go on to win three Stanley Cups and be elected into the Hall of Fame. Not too shabby there!
Yeah, Mullen gets my vote for the reasons already mentioned.
ReplyDeleteScore another vote for Joey!
DeleteGotta go with Lindy Ruff. He has the penalty minutes to back up his name.
ReplyDeleteAnd Lindy is on the board! [APPLAUSE]
DeleteLet’s go with Dave with the awesome hair for the win!
ReplyDeleteNow Dave is making things interesting with his first vote! [APPLAUSE]
DeleteI'll say Lumley for the hair and the fact that he's a travel enthusiast!
ReplyDeleteDavey and his hockey hair earn another vote! This one's getting close, folks! [APPLAUSE]
