Feel Like We Kind Of Dropped The Ball Not Sponsoring A Team In Da Beauty League
Everybody knows the most exciting part of hockey is 3 on 3 overtime. It’s like ecstasy for your eyeballs. It’s the closest the NHL can get to full blown Beer League hockey. It’s up and down, back and forth. There’s no real strategy to it besides dick around and hope you put the puck in the back of the net. And pretty much anything goes. Now what’s Da Beauty League?” some of you may be asking yourselves.. Well I’ll tell you what Da Beauty League is. It’s a whole Summer Men’s League/tournament dedicated to 3-on-3 puck, plenty of chirps, and a bunch of guys you may or may not have heard of before. Guys like Dustin Byfuglien…
Alex Goligoski…
Brock Nelson, Ryan McDonagh, and Anders Lee…
Some other NHL talent you’d recognize on the rosters are that pigeon James van Riemsdyk, David Backes, Matt Hendricks, Nick Bjugstad, Nick Leddy, Zach Parise, Derek Stepan, and former Flyers LEGEND Matt Carle. No Canadians allowed. Just some good ol’ American boys saucing around in Edina, Minnesota every Tuesday/Thursday night between now and August 10th for the championship when they play for the John Scott Cup. And like I said in the headline, I feel like we really dropped the ball here with not throwing a team together. Nothing quite encapsulates everything we stand for here quite like Da Beauty League does. Self-awareness is key. Is Barstool the NHL of hockey coverage? No. I’m well aware of that. Are we the AHL of hockey coverage? Nah. But are we a pretty decent Beer League of hockey coverage? You bet your sweet ass. This seems like one of those rare marriages now a day that actually has a chance of working out. A marriage like that 17-year-old dude and that 71-year-old granny. There would be that special relationship there between us and Da Beauty League. So I guess there’s always next year. In the meantime, I guess I’ll have to work on getting credentialed to cover Da Beauty League final next month since my attempts to get to the World Cup didn’t pan out. If you live in Minnesota and have an empty bunk bed, I’ll see you on the 10th.
