Patrick Marleau Facts

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

-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.

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

-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.

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.

you could just take 2 fingers and rub off some from the right armpit and take care of the left…of course depends on what kind u use and the amount…this is another story of what someone else did and not me personally

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.
