Stars Thought of the Day: Hockey in HD

I love HDTV.  Movies are more fun for sure but sports are the best.  Golf is like watching a living painting.  The colors are amazing.  Baseball is astonishing.  The ballparks are such gems.  But hockey in HD is a beautiful thing to behold.  So crisp and clear.  Other sports are prettier in HD but with hockey, because the action moves so quickly, HD really makes a huge difference in being able to see the action and actually see the puck for a change.  I’m very excited to see that channel 21 will be taking over the local coverage of the Stars with all games in HD and pre and post game shows as well. 

But I have to say the very best thing about watching the Stars in HD is James Neal’s eyelashes.  So get that contract signed, Nealer.

 When searching for an appropriate picture that does his awesome eyelashes justice, I found what is possibly the most adorable picture I’ve ever seen of him, taken when he was at the All-Stars Game’s YoungStars Game.   Too Freakin Cute.

Random Stars Thought for Today — Jamie Benn’s Hair

Jamie Benn has really great hair.  No, I mean really, really great hair. 

It seems that no matter where or what he is doing, his hair is always fabulous.

 

Here he is in his WHL roster photo. A roster photo and it's gorgeous.

Pre-game, looking good.

Mid-game interview. Nicely tousled.

Post-game interviews. Perfectly toweled.

Accepting MVP award. Perfection.

Ok, he's honed his hair skills a little over the years.

Random Hockey Thought of The Day

I’ve been on a little hockey hiatus.  Not that there hasn’t been plenty of hockey stuff happening.  I just haven’t had time nor compunction to write about it.  So now, in an effort to have some fun with hockey again, yeah, I know, I’m the eternal optimist, I’ll be posting a random thought here and there. 

One of my guilty pleasures this summer has been watching “Glee”.  Yes, I know, it’s an absolutely ridiculous show but I love the music.  I’ve been a huge fan of musical theater for as long as I can remember.  So now, I’m hooked.  Anyway, every time I watch, I keep thinking how much Cory Monteith looks like James Neal.  So what do you think?
