If I’d been smart, I would’ve saved the awkward Arsenal Wishes You A Merry Christmas video and paired it up with this clip of the Chicago Blackhawks making goodhearted, ironic fools of themselves for a holiday-themed white folks in Christmas sweaters Friday Face-Off. Come to think of it, I could’ve done that with the Andy Roddick rapping The Humpty Dance in a Christmas sweater video too. We really think sweaters are awesome, don’t we?
Regardless, the Blackhawks win. As Sportress Of Blogitude points out, “You might think there’s no such thing as — John Scott” is the best imaginable Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer NHL parody song line, plus you’ve got kids throwing around wrapping paper in slow motion. They would’ve beaten anybody I put them against, except maybe that baby polar bear.
I’d ask the Caps to do something similar, but I know it’d be disappointing.

It’s posts like this that make me realize people have lost the meaning of irony. Possibly the most overused, wrongly word today.
The only team that could do something as good, if not better, is the Blackhawks rival, the Vancouver Canucks.
They actually have a goalie who can stop pucks and therefore could use The Grinch.
That was really good.
