I just hope Backstrom is tougher than he looks. I just saw a photo him with Ovechkin and it looks like Alex is standing next to a ten year-old girl.
Well-posted.
How do you do the sideways : (umlaut)? I feel like we'll be needing a lot of those in the future. Or we'll just call him "Backis".
Also, I agree with Borr4. Wow, he looks like a girl compared to the russian machine.
i believe the opening paragraph actually should translate into, "Yorn desh born, der ritt de gitt der gue, Orn desh, dee born desh, de umn børk! børk! børk!"
gretzky looked like a little girl too, thats all im sayin
1) Who cares what the guy looks like, all that matters is what he can do on the ice
