Loophole Lou + Wee-Man: Cousins?

PrintI was watching Hockey Night Live on MSG, where they had lots of Devils post-mortem talk. When I saw Lou Lamoriello speaking, it hit me:
Is Lou a brilliant GM of the New Jersey Devils and an excellent prankster? Have you ever seen this mythical "Lou Lamoriello" person and actor Jason "Wee-Man" Acuña in the same room? Lou's team arranged a mid-'90s trap deal with the Devil; Wee-Man arranges traps for his friends and has devilish charm. Coincidence? Read the book.
Maybe it's just me. It was late.
On to more pertinent things, two big playoff Game 2s today:
- I'm afraid Montreal (2 p.m., NBC/CBC) is fully toast now that Andrei Markov is out of the lineup. Their hopes went from bad to awful with their #1 D-man going down like that. Markov to the Habs > Staal to the Pens
- Detroit-San Jose (8 p.m., TSN/Vs): Now this should be fun. Game 1 was a wild scoring affair where fortune's powerplays looked kindly on the Sharks. Bet they'll need to be even better in Game 2.
- And how about that slaughter in Chicago last night? The fans looked bludgeoned; nothing like dropping premium cash on playoff tickets only to see a stinker from the home side.

No doubt.
Now I’m past the point of marveling and just enjoying how calmly he’s been playing. Firestorm around him and he’s just going about his business, playing fundamentals.

I think I solved the Wee-Man-Lou question… I only need photographic proof that Lou once dressed up like an umpa lumpa.
Mighty Mighty Metro!

You had to know that just like Ahnold I would be back after yesterdays Habs vs Pens game.I am not saying your wrong Dom but I am hoping like hell that you are.Did you happen to see the job that Bergeron did on Crosby in front of the net?As they said on TSN he cleared him out with authority.I just wished the Isles had someone that would do that instead of stargazing all the time.There is not another player in the league not currently with the Islanders that I would rather see have his name etched on the Stanley Cup than Bergeron,well except for Eric Nystrom but he will be joining the Isles this summer as a UFA.
Naturally
I’m starting to feel like I can influence the course of events merely by making proclamations to the contrary. (Heh, part of the fun of doing it is to see how wrong I was.)
Of course in this case, they’re still toast … or are they? ;)
