Carrying the Banner

Esbee (@Esbee92) might have the greatest Twitter self-description ever: “I like boys. And hockey. And boys. Did I mention hockey?”

She was lovely enough to scan the current issue of The Hockey News for us, after I searched the entire east coast of the United States for a copy.  No dice.

I know that reading this article won’t keep you from buying the magazine, because there is an full-page inclusion of this:

Sport Chek ad campaign post – August 2012

Whew.  Onto the words.  Click any page for the hi-res (and hopefully legible) version of the feature.

I had to blow this graphic up for you.  If these projections had proven true, Crosby would have won the Art Ross Trophy in ’10-’11 AND ’11-’12, plus tied Ovechkin for it in ’07-’08.  He did win the award on ’06-’07 with 120 points (played 79 games, fell 5 points short of the below).

    Whew! So glad it came out ok even though half of it was upside down!

    Dear employer. After everyone left the other night I used the office scanner for a higher purpose. Boys. Sweaty hockey boys.

    Love,
    Esbee

      Well done!

  4. I just recovered from blacking out after seeing this earlier today. THAT PHOTO? FOR REALZ?? Seeing it multiple times does nothing but kill off my brain cells. Maybe Sid and I should compare concussion symptoms. Laying in the dark. Clothes optional.

      Lindsay – remember when you had to talk me off of the Pens/Cap 24/7-induced Sidney Crosby emotional ledge the other night? You might have to do it again after reading that article..

        I’m not actually surprised there were no copies of this to be had on the Eastern Seaboard with those pictures…
