from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun,
If WWE guru Vince McMahon was promoting the upcoming Washington Capitals-Pittsburgh Penguins grudge match, the spin likely would go something like this.
“In the red corner, representing the nation’s capital, the most electrifying figure in the sport, the man with the trade mark gap-toothed grin ... Alexander The Great!
“Over in the black corner, representing Steeltown, the young man considered The Next One for more than a decade ... Sid The Kid!
“And his tag team partner, also representing Steeltown via Russia, the Kremlin Kid, Evgeni Malkin!”
from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
And so we wait for hockey’s Halley’s comet, eyes looking upward, arms outstretched, fingers pointing to the place where this event will streak across the game’s skies.
What will happen?
What will it be like?
