As the hustle and bustle of their wedding celebration fades into memory, it's not uncommon for young couples to spend time shopping for fine dinnerware with which to stock their china cabinets. Likewise, it's no surprise to see The Sisters --Teemu Selanne and Paul Kariya-- jetting into Denver on a desperate, last-ditch shopping spree to purchase a fire sale set of Cups.
Isn't it just so heartwarming that this pair of hand-holding Flighty Shmucks has migrated across the mountains to lubricate the Divemobile with goose grease? Cue the Peaches & Herb as we roll through the classic footage of The Sisters early days in Anaheim...
TEEMU
I was a fool to ever leave your side
Still got no ring and Jose's on the slide
The breakup we had has left me Cupless and sad
Now Colorado's buyin', and I want it bad, hey, hey
PAUL
I spent the summer with Pierre Lacroix
I signed the contract, then was told of Roy
The fans in this hive are the most clueless alive
But I know I'll fit in well here 'cause I love to dive, hey, hey
CHORUS: BOTH
Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey, hey
But enough of this fluffy mush. What about The Sisters as players?
Selanne is a skilled, mirror-loving cherry picker with the amazing super power to become invisible on command. Kariya's knack for finding the back of the net is overshadowed by his knack for making like Jacques Cousteau at the slightest brush of an opposing jersey. Neither one of them would drop their gloves if their hands were on fire. In short, The Sisters are a two-headed Peter Forsberg.
Will the girls' scheme to stock the empty cup shelf of their china cabinet before the impending NHL lockout succeed?
If it does, the NHL deserves every second of the monumental enema it's got coming.
