Sexy Saturday- Ryan Malone

So the earlier posted SS was for last week, Now we are all caught up and trying to stay on schedule. I had a hard time choosing today’s Sexy Saturday, it is almost always a Ranger or a Lightning player but can I help it that they are all so dang attractive and talented? I promise we will diversify this season let us just be biased for a bit!

So without further ado

RYAN MALONE

STATS:

Vitals: Born December 1, 1979 Pittsburgh, PA, USA. 6’4″ 194 lbs

Nickname(s): Bugsy

Current Team: Tampa Bay Lightning. Left Wing. Shoots Left.

Cool Trivia: Son of former Pittsburgh Penguin Greg Malone. Ryan is the only Pittsburgh native to play for the team and are only the second father/son duo to score hat tricks for the same team. Ryan scored his second hat trick in the first minute of every period during a game against the Islanders in 2007. Ryan also is not a weak guy he has broken a nose while checked, taken a slap shot to the face, all in the same game and stayed on the ice.

That’s my kinda guy!

Penguin Malone:

Told you he was tough!

Look at his vertical!

He makes Malkin look good!

Lightning Malone:

What a comedian! Hope the puck went in first!

Lucky kids.

I know this is a very small glance at an amazing career of a man who has done so much for the town of Tampa, does so much charity work and is just a nice guy (I am biased we hugged once).

 

Congratulation Vincent Lecavalier! Here’s to many more!

 

It is now morning and it still hurts.

 

I thought I would wake up this morning with some kind of answer for the Rangers current lack of….. well everything. There are moments when you see the kind of team they can be. We saw it briefly with Gaborik’s hat trick and game winning goal, with the Nasharik (NASh-ricHARds-gaborIK) line. But it was all gone again last night. This is not a one period game fellas. Is Pyatt the only player who is going to consistently get points on the board? And can we for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY protect Hankie?? Bryz with the biggest humongous big 5 hole in the  humongous universe has a better save percentage than Hank! 

 

Vicky and I (like every other fan of a team floundering) chalks this up to a lack of a training camp. “The legs feed the wolf gentleman.” Looks like more of the team should of played in Europe. Maybe they would be in better shape.

 

This is going to hurt for a bit longer. It’s going to be a mad scramble to make the playoffs unless the teams coming out strong fall apart.

 

Prepare for a lot more posts about the Sharks and Lightning. Shockingly enough they came to play.
