In a blatant attempt to remind everyone else why they should be awake early on January 1, they trotted out JStaal.  It totally worked.

Good morning, sunshine.

Geno donned the full gear after practice and showed off his outfit.  And the nifty Jumbotron-lowered-to-the-ice trick.  Really though, if you want to model something, maybe don’t be a Malkin standing next to a Staal.  I’m just saying.  (Love you, Geno.)

How low can you go?

And because they want you to want this for Christmas, they unveiled the Crosby jersey.  Inside the collar is printed “Winter Classic January 1st 2011.”    I rather like these jerseys, with the penguin looking like a platypus in a scarf.  The numbers are ugly though.

Dear Santa, I would like...

So you’re thinking that New Years’ morning will be really cold, and getting out of bed so hard when you’ve only put down the champagne three hours before?  You’re still wearing those “2011” shaped paper glasses (not sure how that will work) and it’s hard to see the puck through all the glitter and tinsel?  With a hangover, can you look at the combination of yellow and baby blue?

I enter this into evidence: Exhibit A.  Wake Up.  It’s worth it, if only because it’s the closest you’ll ever come to waking up next to this:

On second thought, maybe don't get out of bed...
