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.

Ugh... get that flightless bird graphic off the front page!

Black and Gold front and center right here in the Rink?!?!

Is there nothing sacred? I ask you.

I know, right? I quickly had to cover it up with that Hockey News quote.

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

Thanks for the tease.

snOMG! snO-T for Snomadggedon II: Snoveckin's Revenge
Not sure on the date of this. May have been posted before. I think after the Pens game on Sunday it's been thrown out into the open about media bias. I actually don't mind McGuire, but I can't stand Milbury. At least they know our feelings towards them.
Video of Mike Milbury's "Hey Ovie, I'm still your daddy" comment (~4:55 on the clip) during the first intermission of Sunday's game.  Thanks to YouTube user HockeyHaven76.
