Idle Hands: Daniel Alfredsson

by PPP on May 25, 2009 11:30 AM EDT

So you guys have once again come through with the goods with our Hockey Reference sponsorships. All of the spots have been renewed and a couple more have been added. Now it's time to decide what we want each caption to say. We have 255 characters (including spaces) to inflict as much psychological damage/hilarity. So it's time to put your thinking caps on. No, not the tinfoil ones. Those are for when the league conspires against the Leafs.

Next up: Daniel Alfredsson. Here is what we have currently thanks to the general terribleness of the National Capital Region and the contributions of DGB, Jared, and MF37:

Go ahead and write it, I guarantee we'll win the Cup." - Daniel Alfredsson, 2004.

Not bad considering that most of us probably just fell asleep thinking of Ottawa. So the question is: Can you do better?

What do you think should be on Daniel Alfredsson's H-R page?

Forget the page, can we get this on his tombstone?

the only thing better i can think of is the video of Mark Bell ruining him, or the photo of the aftermath

i dont think you can put those though

the video would be excellent.
I suspect that Mark Bell’s out of the NHL for good now…. but if any of us ever see him, a beer is in order to thank him for that hit.

so I googled Danial Alfredsson quotes and discovered this gem:

"I’m happy it was Fisher, … because he’s pretty good-looking."

there is more to life than being really really good looking

True – but that would be being a “really really good hockey player”. Which he isn’t.

I think we need to make a Pat Quinn forgetting his name joke and call him “That Guy” after the quote.

How about just:

“Punk bitch.”

I love this quote. One of the best pages the Barilkosphere did.

PPP – did we snipe the Leafs home page yet? it’s down to $60 now. i’m in for $10 more like i said, but i won’t bother if we’re not grabbing it.

oh, and this Alfie quote still rules.

Yeah, I don’t think we can do better than this Alfie quote.

And yes, I grabbed the Leafs page. It’s coming up on Wednesday so start thinking of captions!

I think it may work better for the Ottawa Senators page than Alfredsson’s…
