No WAY!
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008Lisa Drew, my radio sister from 570 News, has proven herself to be a true friend. In the ultimate show of friendship, she immediately e-mailed me when she heard about THIS…

In short, you have the chance to have the Stanley Cup (known as the “Holy Grail” to some) in your home for a day… MARK MESSIER (known as the “Greatest Hockey Player EVER” to some… well, me, in particular) will personally deliver it! Knowing my feelings towards the Moose, Lisa knew this would be a dream come true for me.
Strangely, I have mixed feelings about this. Time for Pros & Cons…
Pro: Mark Messier could come to MY house!
Con: I’d have to redecorate.
Pro: It’s Mark Messier.
Con: I’d have to talk to him. When I finally did meet Mark after a game in Calgary, I lost the ability to speak and bleeted at him like a goat. Humiliating, yet still one of the best nights of my life!
Pro: It’s the Stanley Cup!
Con: I have no rituals.
Pro: Mark Messier could come to MY house!
Con: Mark Messier could come to MY house! I think my head would explode.
Way too much pressure… besides, how would I get a pedestal to put him on built in time? And, he might be uncomfortable with the amount of Mark Messier memorabilia I have. For the record, I DON’T have a shrine for him… it’s just in a box in my closet. I found it the other day when I was Spring cleaning. And, although hockey died for me the day he retired, I couldn’t bring myself to part with it.
If you know a rabid hockey fan this sounds like an amazing contest!
