Patrick Marleau Facts

Thanks to Meg and Nut for helping me compile these.  These are... Patrick Marleau Facts!

 

-The first time Patrick Marleau met Owen Nolan, Nolan called him "Pete." Marleau was too embarrassed to correct him, and so it continued for six years. Marleau eventually orchestrated Nolan's trade to Toronto just to end the humiliation.

-Patrick Marleau recently discovered Kanye West and won't stop telling people how great he is.

-Patrick Marleau's idea of comedy is doing a "Borat" impression around Evgeni Nabokov.  Marleau's never seen Borat.

-Patrick Marleau's favorite part about going skiing is the chair lift.

-Patrick Marleau once had a crush on the barista at his local coffee shop.  One day he tried to flirt with her so when she gave him his latte and said, "Enjoy, Patrick," he said, "Bottom's up!" far too loudly and then tried to take a swig of his drink but he ended up burning his tongue and spilling foam down the front of his shirt.  He never went back to that coffee shop again.


- After the coach pressured him to show more leadership, Marleau began insisting that fellow players refer to him as "Cap'n." He was subsequently stripped of the captaincy.

-When the team goes out Patrick Marleau orders one beer, drinks half of it slowly, then acts like it's a new beer when the guys go for the next round.  At some point he utters, "Man I'm buzzed."

Star-divide

-Patrick Marleau listens to his iPod on the team plane and then talks loudly while his head phones are in.

-Patrick Marleau wears swim trunks when he showers in the locker room.

-The team was discussing their favorite SNL castmembers but the conversation died down when Marleau stated, "My favorite is Keenan Thompson."

Falloon: How ya been?

Long pause

Falloon: Yeah.
Long pause
Falloon: ...Well, I'll see you around.
Marleau: Coo'.

-When Bon Jovi is played in the HP Pavilion during a game, Marleau starts playing drums on his legs and bobbing his head until he feels Todd McClellan's hand on his shoulder.  Then he stops.

-Patrick Marleau likes the NHL on Versus because it normally leads right into his favorite fishing show.

-Marleau was approached at a bar once by a woman; it turned out she had left her coat on the back of his chair.

-When Marleau walks down a hallway and someone is walking towards him he always averts eye contact until the last moment so he can look up, give them a nod and say, "What's up?" but then the person walking towards him will say, "What's up?" first so he'll end up shouting, "Pretty good!" over his shoulder 5 feet after they've passed.


-On the team plane Marleau insists on sitting in the middle seat.

 


-Patrick Marleau wears socks at the beach.

Patrick Marleau may some day see this list and feel sad. Then he’ll remember he’s one of the top scorers in the NHL, playing on the number-one team in the league, a multi-millionaire, and an Olympian. Then he’ll realize he forgot to put deodorant on his left armpit in the morning.

Never go to the South for any reason.

I saw that too but if you notice when he’s on the car there’s Miss San Jose Grand Prix next to him so I think it’s just listing both of them.

Marleau tried to make conversation with Miss San Jose Grand Prix so he said, “I really like flies.” She was disgusted.
