Larionov To Pittsburgh

Via The PensBlog and Peerless comes news that Alyonka Larionov is currently working for Pens TV (which, I assume, has similar high-end content to Caps TV but doesn't have nearly the depth).

Larionov, you'll recall, is the daughter of Russian hockey legend Igor Larionov, and has served as arm candy to future (fellow?) Russian hockey legend Alexander Ovechkin, leaving one to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for teams to fall in love with AO's... what's the term I'm looking for? Untidy extras? No... Disheveled spares? Nope... Shoddy superfluities? Dammit... it'll come to me.

Anyway, good luck to Alyonka, and thanks for adding yet another layer to one of hockey's most intriguing rivalries.

An unmitigated disaster! Just when we began to take firm hold of the hearts of Mother Russia, as its favorite team.

“Pens TV (which, I assume, has similar high-end content to Caps TV but doesn’t have nearly the depth).”

JP, I can’t even imagine the insults you would be able wield if your team had actually won a playoff series in the past decade.

And I can’t imagine the retorts you’d come with if you had an appendix. Zing!

Glad you’re back, Hooksy!

It’s a good thing she’s really not that attractive, or I might be upset.

I thought Igor was out of his mind picking Pittsburgh as a return spot until I read the post.

Thanks for the tease.
