A Deadly Good Combination
Crazy ideas start to float around in your head once summer starts in a desperate attempt to fill the non hockey void. Fortunately for me, there's Deadliest Catch. During a viewing of the show, I was suddenly struck by a wondrous idea. What if Catch met the NHL and they then smushed their digital bodies together to produce some sort of grotesquely watchable love child? So overwhelmingly fantastic was this notion that I could not fully grasp it by myself. I called LeNoceur on my trusty twitter phone and he created a deviously good line up of lovable (and occasionally unlikeable) characters. Ready to allow us into their lives we would follow these creatures to hell and back, or at least, to the playoffs.
The love child of hockey and Deadliest Catch is a strange one pairing the search for the elusive season ticket holder with the power and majesty of the icy Bering Sea. The Sea is a beast in and of itself, but the random and deadly Jonathan Quick can appear at anytime to dash the playoff hopes of all who meet him. Woe be to he who crosses the rogue waves of Jonathan Quick's watery mass.
I think we have a hit on our hands here.
