How the...!?!?
Not really sure which forum to post this in but it is Canuck related. Sit back for a moment....
So there I was (all good stories start with this...), watching TV and I just happened to be watching How I Met Your Mother, you know, the one with Doogie Howser. Anyways, one of the characters Robin, the hot one, is supposed to be from Canada and she's big into hockey. She ends up getting a boyfriend who used to play hockey. She's telling this story of how they went to a Rangers game (the show is based in NY) and how after the game she went down the dressing room and she was all excitied to meet MASON RAYMOND. Of course all the other characters have this blank look on their face when she finally says, "you know, the left winger for the Vancouver Canucks!" So Doogie says "What's the opposite of name dropping?"
Why did they choose Mason Raymond? Why not at least a player who is currently with the big club? Raymond has 9 games in the NHL and 1 cameo name in a big time sitcom...
I thought it was pretty funny...
