So maybe you've noticed I've updated my sidebar recently and added a few things. Near the bottom is a list of my top 5
most read posts of all time. Yup, that's right, the number one - far and away - is
Maple Leafs Halloween, a post I wrote 2 years ago. I noticed last year around this time a sudden huge upsurge in hits on my blog directly related to that Halloween post. This October, the same thing is happening. So I've decided to do another and hopefully this one will be even more succesful then the last.
As Halloween rolls around, take a good look at the trick-or-treaters that come to your door, 'cause you never know, one of them might be your favourite Maple Leaf under that costume. Here are some hints to help you recognize your Leafs in disguise:
Clarke MacArthur
Ninja at a bargain price.
Tyler Bozak and Phil Kessel
Doesn't need explaining. Or maybe it does a little.
Mike Brown
Gonna show you what Brown can do for you if he can just get his finger in the doorway. Oh ya, and his boxing skills could use a little work.
Tomas Kaberle
Data was always my favourite Star Trek character and there's something about Kabby's calm, efficient, emotionless precision that makes me think he'd do very well as a Starfleet officer under the right Captain. (p.s. Phaneuf hates it when you call him Jean-Luc.)
Anything's better then 2007 when the gang went out wearing the costumes Paul Maurice had suggested.
It was a sad night with a lot drinking. It was a sad season with a lot of crying.
Freddie Sjostrom
...gets to be Chewbacca of course. This costume doesn't look too hard to put together. Maybe get Grandma to help with the sewing and stitching. And if Sjostrom gets to be Chewbacca then...
Colby Armstrong
...probably wants to be Han Solo. It's better then the figure skater costume Wilson had picked out for him, but it means he'll be frozen in carbonite for 4-6 weeks. The good news is: I can start saying Luca Caputi on a regular basis again.
Mike Komisarek
...will walk home from the practice rink in his usual way, oblivious to the date on the calender.
Mikhail Grabovski
...has the scariest costume on the team. He's crazy for pineapples! is now a serious understatement.
Nikolai Kulemin
...keeps the Kool-Aid Man tradition alive for another year.
Cliff Fletcher
...makes an excellent spooky Caretaker.
and Mike Zigomanis
... is the Zig-Zag Man out on a date with Matt Stajan's mom!
Have a safe and happy Halloween everybody!
...as the Kool-Aid Guy! Oh-Yeah!
