One of my Row B pals decided to take an "unjustifiably upbeat Sleek" shot from last night's awful opener. He shot the picture from the back to preserve my internet aura of mystery, but I'll admit I was posing for the shot.
It's true, though -- I did have a pretty swell time despite the fact that the Ducks didn't show up. Plank was a great Row B guest -- didn't kick us when he could have, and we all had a good batch of cynical fun. Good thing it was only Game One -- easy enough to laugh off a shitty loss when there's 81 more chances to get it right.
As a bonus in the picture, I believe the blurry dude to the right of my elbow is that very same Mr. Plank, proudly sporting his Pavelski jersey. Now that's some SB Nation networking, right there.

Nice job. I saw you guys from the 300 section. I thought your head just looked like it was shaped funny because of the distance…
Just kidding bro.

It’s true — ruining the crush might be in everyone’s best interest.
But hey, could be worse. At least this picture (plus the fact that I’m typing) proves that I’m not secretly Corey Perry.

I think the shame might be part of the crush. The best internet crushes are ones that can never be.

Just as long as it doesn't get serious.

Don't worry
I’m pretty sure it’s a one sided crush. Besides you and I will always have the Rookie Game.

I was never worried about that…
You are clearly “smarter than a 5th grader”…which probably eliminates the entire 1st line altogether.

I think that eliminates most NHL players. The ones who do go to college only go on hockey scholarship. Unlike college football players, I don’t think they care to get an education.
Fuck you, Denis Gauthier. You suck at hockey... and life.
Get out of LA and never come back. Or sign with Anaheim... PLEASE??
Since I’ve seen you in person, this isn’t at all mysterious to me. But don’t take this the wrong way, but to me the back of your head looks like the guy from “Blue’s Clues”. The pose only confirms my suspicions… you’re the same guy!!
Only because I’ve seen your face do I know that this isn’t true, but one can hope, right?
Also, is it just me, or does Honda Center seem to have a nicer concourse than the so-called “Sports and Entertainment Center of the World”? And Honda Center is now 17 years old, 7 years older than Staples Center, and seems so much more modern.

I was a 6, but didn’t hang out very long postgame because I had to be up at 7 the next morning.

I made this gif of you clapping after the Ducks’s first shot of the second period. Because FTF thought it was pretty funny.

At some point, this has to end with Sleek getting kidnapped and chopped into little pieces and added into the food at the Honda Center.
Or something.
