Talbot Prefers Montreal Women

Although I do not speak French, I translated the page this video came from (Hockey30.com) which said, "Video: Max Talbot and women" and "Our partners Montreal.tv interviewed Maxim Talbot. We learn interesting things: Talbot prefer women in Montreal!"

See for yourself!

MAX TALBOT INTERVIEW
(Montreal.tv)

As my own sidenote, not only does Max get a strike for admitting that he prefers Montreal women (does he think we won't find out?!), but he gets another strike for that sweater / vest!!! Does he get dressed in the dark during off-season or is that how they like their men to dress in Montreal (in that case, the women of Montreal can HAVE him!)??? : P

ALL IN GOOD FUN!!! : )

MaMa and PaPa Malkin in Magnitogorsk with the Cup

I know we were recently commenting on Malkin's short hair, but if you look at this pic he looks a little skinny too, doesn't he??? Either that or he really bulks up with his uniform (or maybe his longer hair makes him look bigger). What do you guys think??

Regardless, the Malkins are an ADORABLE family!!! Where's Oksana, I wonder???!

VISIT TSCSF FOR MORE VIDEO / PICS FROM MALKIN'S DAY WITH THE CUP!!

Western Conference Hottie: Anton Stralman (Calgary Flames)

I'm not sure that anyone from the Flames has graced the pages of this blog, but I thought the beautiful Mr. Stralman, one of their most recent acquisitions would make a fine initiation for us all to the Calgary Flames.

IMPORTANT HOCKEY STUFF: A 5th round draft choice of the Toronto Maple Leafs, 216th over all [and yes, I love it when the later round draft choice guys are playing full time in the NHL] He was picked in the seventh and last round of the post-lockout 2005 NHL Entry Draft. Earlier the same year, on April 4, he had already signed a two year deal with Timrå IK (in the Swedish Elite league). During the following 2005–06 season, he seemed to adapt to the Elite League very quickly and became a regular player. On January 20, 2006, this effort was recognized as he was named the third in the line of four candidates for Elitserien Rookie Of The Year 2006. The award was eventually won by the (no capitals) forward Nicklas Bäckström (you know, that guy that makes Ovechkin look so good).

On May 16, 2007, it was announced that Stralman had signed a three year contract with the Maple Leafs. He made his North American professional debut on October 6, 2007, with the Toronto Marlies of the AHL and played his first game for the Leafs on October 23 of the same year, in a home game against the Atlanta Thrashers. On March 21, 2008, he scored his first NHL goal in a game against the Buffalo Sabres and recorded his first multi-goal game against the Montreal Canadiens on March 29. On July 27th, Stralman was traded to the Calgary Flames along with Colin Stuart and the 7th round pick in the 2012 entry draft, in exchange for Wayne Primeau and the Flames' 2nd round pick in the 2011 entry draft.

REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF: I'm beginning this section with THE most important part. he possesses that singularly angelic visage, that I myself am so personally attracted to. Blond haired, blue eyed, 6'1 180lbs of deliciously Swedish defenseman. He'll defend himself if he feels he needs too (granted it's not much of a fight, but at least he tried). He looks particularly adorable when he gives us his views on last season, before the season started. Watch it, it's cute.



The Tronto Valentines Day special (Skip to 57 seconds in) I honestly couldn't find much on his personal profile. But I doubt any of us would remember reading it, after watching this video anyway.



Blank stare, anybody got a light, I need a cigarette...

Malkin Hosts the Cup in Magnitogorsk

Malkin's tight schedule spending the day with Lord Stanley began early this morning visiting the local hockey academy at 9 AM. He talked and took pictures with the young players. Then he stopped at "School No. 28" where he used to study.

Afterwards, he paraded around Magnitogorsk with the Cup in a limousine as people stood to watch him pass while taking pictures and video. He visited and took pictures at the World War II memorial where the Cup was on display "at the town's main square, opposite the local economic mainstay - the metallurgical plant."

“Of course I have outlived the euphoria [of a Stanley Cup victory] by now. But, anyway, I think this feeling will stay with me for a long time. We have kept all our players, which is most important. The coaches are also staying and that’s a big plus. Everyone knows each other and the chances are high this year. It's hard not to think about big wins with a team like this, when you have a goalkeeper on the team like Fleury, and a captain like Crosby. So we expect victories. We’ll do our best to be in the [Stanley Cup] finals again,” - Evgeni Malkin
