Don Cherry probably has no opinion about this

I just realized that Vincent Lecavalier should never be allowed to talk. He is a great, great hockey player. How I love watching him play on a line with my personal favorite, Martin St. Louis. But DEAR GOD. It's possible that English is his second language ... he's from Quebec ... if I were Canadian I would know this. He doesn't have an accent, though, which does not leave him with much of an alibi. Last season Ovechkin couldn't speak-eh much of the English, but he managed to say brilliant hockey things like "I saw the puck and think 'Oh my God, puck!' and I shoot." This season he has probably learned to pepper all utterances with "obviously."

Anyway, Internet, one of these days I'll say something pos-i-teeeeve. Would it count if I were to express my deep admiration for Pittsurgh, and Evgeni Malkin in particular, for getting it done so well while Crosby's out? Malkin just assisted to put the Penguins ahead of the Hurricanes.

By the way, I am comprehensively unqualified to talk about hockey, but I don't have anyone to share my love of the game with. I am just a little bitty old girl.
