Greg Wyshynski of Puck Daddy was at Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final last night, and happened to come across the above dude with the above rally towel suit. Y’know, pretty standard attire. Here’s what Wysh had to say:

If the ‘rally towels’ contain some mystical powers of encouragement, then Ken Cruise is their living totem. The 21 year old Bruins fan from Rhode Island attended Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night and was an inescapable sight in Section 4: Cheering on the Jumbotron in a bright yellow suit constructed entirely from used rally towels.

His digs are comprised of 27 towels, and seem to be assembled in near-flawless nature. He did say he has to fix the suit after every use – it’s made of towels, remember – but I vote it’s well worth it. For more, check out Wysh’s post.

If those lions don’t have 26 NHL games under their belts at this point, they’re stuck wearing those helmets as per NHL mandate for the rest of their careers. This is at the Art Institute of Chicago, for those who don’t feel like doing detective work and aren’t from Chicago.

The tweet I got from @morebennett (thanks, by the way) simply said “Spotted in a bar in Ottawa on Friday: a shirtless Daniel Alfredsson playing ping pong.” (Editor’s note: “sources” say it was a Saturday.)

Friday night was the day the Senators’ season ended at the hands of the Penguins, so you know he was out with the boys. You know he was drinking given the situation, so you understand how he could justify ending up shirtless. And the ping pong is a no-brainer. With zero verification, I hearby declare this to be legit. Look at that hair. Alfie the Best.

Via Toucher and Rich, The Fonz’s John Tortorella’s yearbook photo from Concord-Carlisle High in Massachusetts has surfaced, and you won’t be disappointed, mostly because he includes the phrase “bathroom brawls” in his…what were those things called, “bequeaths?”

Some thoughts:

* “Lanas Garage” – him and his buddies leaving certain special dates/locations for posterity?

* MAN, his friends had cooler nicknames than mine. Snake, Mendy, Musky…bad to the bone.

* B.D.W.B? Bhat Dould Webus Bo? That can’t be right. Bacon Derby Wombat Brisket? I’m open to suggestion.

Enjoy, and here’s to hoping that he eventually found MUSKY: Read the rest of this entry »
