The 1982-83 O-Pee-Chee Dating Game (Episode 16)


 
Welcome back to The 1982-83 O-Pee-Chee Dating Game, where we'll randomly select three eligible bachelors from the set and you, the reader, will choose which one wins that date with a special lady. How do we know they're bachelors? Why, it says so right on the back of their hockey cards, that's how!

Previous episodes are available here.

The big winner of episode 15, in a close contest, was Joe Mullen.

Now, let's start the 16th round and introduce the bachelors chosen by the randomizer! [APPLAUSE]
 
Bachelor number 1: Defenseman from the Toronto Maple Leafs, Jim Benning
Bachelor number 2: Right wing/Left wing from the Vancouver Canucks, Lars Molin
Bachelor number 3: Center/Right wing from the Calgary Flames, Jim Peplinski




We've got a battle of Canadian teams this week, folks! Let's find out more about these guys from the back of their cards.








Which guy wins this week's date with a nice young lady?

Bachelor number 1: Jim Benning, whose 111 assists in Portland a couple of years ago indicate that he's a generous, giving dude.

Bachelor number 2: Lars Molin, Swedish soccer player and wind surfer.

Bachelor number 3: Jim Peplinski, who cooks and is involved in the Big Brother Program.
 
 
PS: Next week's post will be on Saturday instead of Sunday, for a particular reason I can't divulge.

  1. You have to go with Lars for his fashion choice. It looks like he is wearing his parachute from his windsurfing days.

    1. Good points there, Sumo. Maybe that's where the Canucks got the idea for those jerseys!

    1. That's two quick votes for the windsurfing Swede! Thanks for playing, Fuji.

  3. Peplinski. He's clearly good at adulting and he's already prepping for fatherhood.

    1. "Clearly good at adulting." Hah! Great comment, Elliptical Man. And now with Brett Alan's vote, we've suddenly got a tie between Molin and Peplinski.

  4. Peplinski is clearly most ready for a long term relationship.

    1. Heheh. He must have been a cool dude back in the '80s when windsurfing was totally tubular.
