Puck Daddy - NHL

In the most frightening split of personalities since Harvey Dent refused his pain medication, it's MALSBY; proving to the world that combining the Wonder Twin powers of Pittsburgh Penguins stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin produces ... er, Paul Coffey?

Wrap Around Curl had this image, via Jenn from I Mean, We Got Guys ..., and color us baffled. Sure, it's better than a "Maklin" jersey. But why would someone do this? How indecisive do you have to be to combine two players on the same jersey?

We're pretty sure there isn't some kid in Edmonton running around in a "Kurretzky" jersey; and if there's a "St. Louvalier" sweater in Tampa, we may begin seriously questioning whether humanity, as a whole, has the prudent judgment to survive another century on this planet.

Yet following the revelation of this monstrosity, a rather wonderful thing has happened on Wrap Around Curl: There's an impromptu reader contest in which other combined teammate names have been created. We're willing to forgive MALSBY if its folly begets "BoyLov" (Brian Boyle + Alexander Frolov) and "TootHol" (Jordin Tootoo + Scott Nichol). The Puck Daddy readership must have something to contribute to this new sensation, no?

As for MALSBY, part of our trauma comes from the fact that this would be an unstoppable force in the NHL: Crosby with a pure goal-scorer's touch, Malkin with passing sonar; Crosby without the whining, and Malkin with pouty, bee-stung lips.

And here it is, courtesy of a hasty transformation on Morphthing.com: Behold the exquisiteness of MALSBY! (Yikes.)

    That's the most clever thing someone from Pittsburgh has ever done.

    The only thing I can think of that's funny for the Wings is McCraper, the heart and soul of the Grind Line (McCarty and Draper).

    St. Louis and Lecavalier wouldn't work because Vinny wears a single digit number- half of a 4 wouldn't look right alongside the 2 from Marty's 26.
    How about the Edmonton Oilers' Sam Gagner and Shawn Horcoff?
    "What a SICK move by Gagcoff!"

    Hey that means the left over halves of that guy's jersey would make either "CROKIN" or "KINCRO".
    Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

    For the Flames we have (Warrener and Langkow) Warkow...and Igieuf. (Which ironcially is the sound a man makes when he is kicked in the happy sacks by a feriocious nomadic Ukrainian Warcow...no wonder Poland never seemed to do too well in that whole war department.)
    Or if I can push the rules a bit and combine the former Blues goaltender Paul Skidmore with the Flames Jamie Lundmark...you'd have the epic unstopable combo of Skidmark!!! I can see that on jerseys already...and I'm not talking about those rather overweight boorish fans that tend to tuck their jersey into their underwear.

    Can we arrange a trade? Because I'm sure Scottie Upshall (PHI) and Johnny Boychuk (BOS) would make a killer Upchuk jersey that someone would pay good money for.
