We can't get a handle on NHL lingerie ? wait, that didn't sound right ? we go back and forth on NHL lingerie ? er, uh ? we can't decide how we feel about NHL lingerie. There we go.
A hockey-branded garter could be a very pleasant surprise; or it could provide a distracting reminder about how your favorite team lost to Ottawa and is an 0-for-20 slump on the power play, thus increasing your stress level and ruining what would otherwise be a welcome moment of intimacy. (The inverse: Why men should never wear logo boxers to bed.)
These handmade garters retail for $30 on etsy.com via The Art of Sports, but there are other folks producing them too. For example, there's a Winnipeg Jets garter for $22. We just hope this isn't a recycled Thrashers one ?
They're designed to be used as novelty items at a wedding, for that garter toss that some couples engage in. Oh, what a wonderful prank to would be if the groom was a Ducks fan and the bride decides to garter-up with the San Jose Sharks. The chances for cake-in-the-face increase exponentially.
Coming up: Game-worn gear from Dennis Leary and a personalized hat trick hat.
And here ? we ? go.
Denis Leary is one of our most beloved celebrity hockey fans, even if he's such a Boston Bruins homer that he makes Jack Edwards seem impartial.
From eBay:
Dennis Leary game/ event used hockey jersey. This celebrity pro event featured Gretzky, Lemieux, and other Hollywood notables and star NHL players Denis Leary has appeared in many films and TV series. He is an avid Boston Bruins Fan; coa from Lealands auction house
What, no love for DB Sweeney?
The asking price for this bad boy is $595, and that doesn't include the cost of dry-cleaning the cigarette smoke and "Rescue Me" cast-member sweat from the jersey.
Now ? No. 28 Celebrity All-Star Hockey sweater with "A-Hole" on the back ? Pass or Fail?
Asking $150 for a puck that isn't from a significant game or player milestone is pretty steep, even for eBay. But not when it's a Walt Tkaczuk Hockey School puck, because Walt Tkaczuk is the man. (Phil Esposito called the former New York Rangers great the toughest player he every ran into on the ice.)
A little off topic, but this would be a T-shirt that we'd buy in a millisecond.
Williams Wear has a bunch of different Philadelphia sports items on Zazzle, including this tribute to Philadelphia Flyers winger Wayne Simmonds for $14.95. This is obviously a play on "simonized," as into wax or polish something. As in, "Hey Avery, you're a [expletive] [expletive] [expletive] [expletive] and now I'm going to simonize my car."
But it was the description we found interesting:
If Wayne Simmonds scores a hat trick, you'll want to pay homage to him by throwing this hat on the ice. In the meantime, wear it and show your love for the newest Flyer.
Could there be any greater joy for a hockey fan than having the chance to honor a player by throwing his tribute hat on the ice after a trick?
Well, OK, seeing an NHL garter in its natural habitat is pretty joyful too ?
