The Vancouver Salos

The Vancouver Salos [credit: VCOE]Because of a comment thread on Vancouver Canucks Op Ed on this post, Alanah whipped up this creation. I laughed my butt off when she emailed this to me. Too crazy to post on her site, but too hilarious to not post here. Rebecca was the one who started this, but I just perpetuated it. It’s more truth than fiction, but strictly platonic, Sammy. I’m a happily married man.

It all started with an episode of The Crazy Canucks. I said that it seemed like we were being called the “Vancouver Luongos” with the way that the media talked about team as the season got under way. With my favorite boy from last year, Carter, now with Columbus, I’ve been searching for someone to fill his place in terms of my favorite player. Perhaps this is a bit too much of an extreme, but I have to say that the last few days has made this guy rise to the top of my list.

Be sure to check out more on The Crazy Canucks podcast. We’ll be recording episode number four later this week. Been a crazy last few games on the road, but at least we’re up in the wins and points columns. Can’t fail to mention that a lot of that is in part to Sammy “The Friendly Ghost” Salo.

    Too bad you’re married, John. I personally think Sami would be quite a catch! :)

    If he gets Sami then I get MY choice of Canuck too ;) haha!

  3. Problem is, I can’t even get his first name spelled right. I don’t think I’m worthy. :(

  4. [...] Matt Cooke – pissing off the Flames, doing his job. Freakin’ leveled Iginla. (Fun, except for the fact it woke up Iggy and made our lives hell). Alexander Burrows – showed some great hustle early, took scoring chances. Ryan Kesler – hustle ‘n flow Markus Naslund – the captain can’t buy a freakin’ goal… geezus. Sami Salo – John calls them the Vancouver Salos. I’m inclined to agree. Pretty Boy Pyatt – seems to have grasped the concept of staying in the slot and it works. Bill Clinton – was on “Behind the Mask” segment. By the time Kelly Hrudey was through, were we supposed to grasp that hockey players can be good people? [...]
