The Name Game: Part 2

You may remember our Name Game post from a few seasons ago, and if you don’t, you can find it here. Well, it has been a few seasons, many players have come and gone since then, so let’s do it all over again.

Hockey players are celebrities, so for this rendition we thought it wise to examine their lives if they were in a different field of being “famous”.

On TV and in the Movies

The Fresh Prince of Briere – Briere plays a misjudged kid from Philadelphia looking to make fresh start in a new city. 

Stuart Little – Orphaned from San Jose after the emergence of Vlasic, this harrowing tale speaks of Stuart’s perseverance and willingness to phase out completely in Denver.

Bernstein Berra – Reto Berra plays a huge mammoth of an animal that can’t seem to do much of anything unless he gets a ton of help and guidance from a much wiser Papa Bear (Patrick Roy).

John-Sons of Anarchy – Erik Johnson leads a rag tag, rough and tough golf cart gang of 1st overall pick busts against rivals gangs like the Bryz lats, Devil’s trib, and Cala-varlys.

Max and Redy – Talbot and Zach Redmond act in a kids TV show raising awareness for sharp objects and trying to avoid getting them logged in your upper thigh.

Keeping Up With The Pickardians – After a leaked highlight video from Lake Erie, Pickard is thrown into stardom as a camera crew follows him and his family around to various meal outings, workout sessions, and practices, as well fully documenting the drama of who unscrewed his water bottle lid at the morning skate.

Elliott Moose – An inspiring story about a young NHLer and his zany adventures with friends.

The Landeskog Before Time – Gabe and his friends Dutchy, Berra, and Street-tree, (Ducky, Sarah, Petree) engage in various shenanigans around the Pepsi center.

In Music:

Iggy Smalls – The Notorious IGG and his crew Mac-Daddy Mackinnon and DJ Ago-Z bust some serious rhymes in his début album “Ig Pappa”.

Freak On a Cliché – A song about the 4th liner’s love of corn. (See what we did there?)

When You Hish upon a star – A touching ballad outlining Hishon’s wish to stay healthy and make it big in the NHL.

Do You O’Reilly Want To Hurt Me? – A song sung by Joe Sakic and Patrick Roy, outlining the painful contract dispute with Ryan O’Reilly.

How Borda-low Can You Go? – Big Bad Bordy drops it like its hawt in this new hit single/music video.

Hejda’s Gonna Hate – A chilling rap song that pumps the ego of the Avs best defensive defenceman.

In Other Fields:

The Ford Mustanguay – A car that, no matter how old it gets, can go from 0-60 in 5 seconds.

Brew-chene’s – A do-it-yourself beer making infomercial.
