Our Foxy Fridays tend to have a more…shall we say, biased skew.  But you can’t really fault us when our favorite teams are in the East Coast, that tends to happen.

You can imagine our delight when one of our twitter followers (@elishajaffer all the way from Dar es Saalam, Tanzania!) suggested Jonathan Ericsson as a potential Foxy Friday.  Perfect!  A chance to expand our horizons and troll the Western Conference team for individuals worthy of such an honor.

We did a google search.  And a new love was born.

Even with this watermark on my face, you still cannot resist the sexy time.

“Hello!” I exclaimed.  “Where have you been all my life?”

He sort of has this Kris Letang thing going on and you know how we feel about that…especially Dawn.

We are very much enjoying the flavor of your Kool-Aid, Mr. Ericsson.

Ladies, let us celebrate this amazing honor with awkwardly long hugs.

So what makes this Detroit Red Wing so foxy?

• He’s Swedish.  You all know how we feel about Swedish hockey players.  They breed them goooood over there.  Two words – Henrik Lundqvist.
• He’s a 6’4″, 218 lbs defenseman for an Original Six hockey franchise.

• He started his career at center but after playing one game on defense for his junior team, a Red Wings scout convinced him to play defense.  The team then drafted him that summer in the 2002 Entry Draft.
• Speaking of drafts, he was the LAST player selected in 2002.  Dead. Freaking. Last.  Nothing motivates a player more than being picked last.  Just ask Phil Kessel.
• In 2011, he signed a fatty of a contract with the Wings – three-years, $9.75 million.  He’s making in rain up in hurrrrr.

But you know what really makes him Foxy?

This face.  

It’s pretty much perfect.

Sort of like a young Andrew Shue from Melrose Place. Only hotter. And Swedish. And a hockey player.

Niklas Knonwall of the Detroit Red Wings shoveled his team-mate Patrick Eaves, off the ice, during a power play when they were short-handed, after he had blocked a shot and he was injured. Hilarious, yes but wow, give the guy a second, he just made a brilliant play to stop a goal and sacrificed his body. Detroit is a machine. But dude, get some feelings.

IT’S FOXY MIKE MODANO FRIDAY!

need I say more?

He is the top US born goal scoring hockey player EVER! Note how Canadians need to point out US born? Got a  moose on that shoulder? WHO CARES? He’s hot! He’s shirtless! When recently interviewed on HNIC he said, uncensored, in no uncertain terms, would he never appear on BATTLE OF THE BLADES! Never say never Mikey Pants!

He’s won a Stanley Cup! Shut up, Mr. Cherrie. It was Brett Hull who cheated. Mikey did not.

We will not mention who he married. That does not matter. As for the rest of the stats, do we really care? This post is FOXY FRIDAY, not MENSA MEN.  So I give you your MOMENTS OF MIKEY. Enjoy. I certainly do. He was my first but not my last. I still keep his hockey card by my bed at night.
