As we’ve previously discussed, because the NHL does not have an exclusive contract with the big, ol’ fancy pants sports talkers and debate embracers at ESPN, it doesn’t get as much attention as the NBA Playoffs. It also doesn’t help that the NHL Playoffs are airing on NBC Sports and CNBC, two networks that most people couldn’t tell you channel numbers for if you held a lawnmower to their groins.

But just like I argued last year, when porn star Tay Stevens showed up to Stanley Cup Finals games and pressed her massive breasts against the glass behind New Jersey Devils coach Peter DeBoer’s head, there are certain things that NBC and the NHL could be exploiting in order to gain more attention and ultimately better ratings for what have been very exciting playoffs series thus far.

Our friend Erik Malinowski at BuzzFeed Sports Tweeted the above image of the “Celeb List” from last night’s New York Rangers-Boston Bruins Game 4 at Madison Square Garden, and it got me to wondering… Hmmmmmm… wonder with me, won’t you?

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is currently enjoying one of his better seasons of the last few years, with a .312 batting average that almost mirrors his career output. Sure, his RBI may be down, but for a 38-year old who some people were calling washed up just two seasons ago, it must be nice for Yankees fans and people who have simply appreciated Captain Clutch’s career to watch him put together one last strong run to help his franchise win No. 28.

So what’s the secret to Jeter’s twilight success? Well, this may shock you, but it could simply be the rejuvenating powers of dating a 22-year old super model. I’ve been told that’s actually better than stem cells. The New York Post has the incredibly important breaking news of Jeter’s new fling with Ralph Lauren model Hannah Davis, and somewhere Wilmer Valderrama is in the on-deck circle for sloppy seconds.

“They were flirting, having a great time, and were sitting close together,” says a witness who saw them at Meatpacking hotspot Double Seven for the last Avenue A Soundcheck bash of the summer.

I don’t care if I’m 90 and living my final days in a run-down nursing home, cut off from the only people I’ve ever loved, “Meatpacking” will always make me giggle.

“They are an item on the quiet,” says another source. “Derek and Hannah left separately, but she met up with him again later.”

Added the source, “I know this because I live in a trash can outside of Jeter’s penthouse building. Sure, it’s pricey at $8,000 for 2-sq. ft. but at least it’s rent controlled.”

This news probably won’t do much to stop the tailspin of Jeter’s ex-girlfriend Minka Kelly, who was rumored to have an under-18 sex tape lost in pervy hands while she was allegedly bouncing back and forth between Fez and Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine. Ugh, I feel filthy just writing that sentence. Either way, introduce yourself to Hannah Davis after the jump.
