I have to say, I have dear, dear friends.
It's no secret that I feel stuck in the doldrums right now. March hockey? Blows. It blows more than anything that has ever blown before. The Stars have such a lopsided schedule. I'm trying not to be pathetically despondent. It is my deepest urge to rip out my hair, kick something, issue a primal scream and then yell "I HATE HOCKEY RIGHT NOW SO MUCH".
This evening, I went out to dinner with an old, close friend of mine, one who is not into hockey in the slightest. I had a refreshing dinner of no hockey talk in the slightest, which is sort of what I needed at the moment. I needed a break, a respite, a palate cleanser from the utter despair I had felt at looking at our upcoming, break-filled, stacked to the gills with divisional opponents schedule. This particular friend doesn't know Alexander Ovechkin from Khruschev, so that should tell you a lot.
When I got back, I had lots of IMs on my computer from 4 or 5 different people that essentially screamed one thing at me:
"RUSSIAN!"
I was instructed to go to the Stars website, where new Casino Night photos had been posted. "Look, look!" my IMs screamed at me.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what I found:

First of all: WIN.
And a few points:
1. He's alive! He's really, really alive!
2. He's ambulatory!
3. My god, is that cameraman going to be okay? I mean...look at the smirk on Russian's face. Look at the cameraman's position. He had to be standing practically ON the card table. Doesn't that smirk say, "I have an alligator and you shall meet him shortly, interloper"?
4. What a suit!
5. HE'S TOTALLY ALIVE!
6. EEEE RUSSIAN! YOU ARE IN PUBLIC!
7. What in the world did they have to bribe him with to get him to willingly dress up, exit the Fortress of Zubovitude and associate with people?
8. How freakin' KGB awesome does he look in that picture?
9. GUYS, RUSSIAN IS ALIVE, HAVE I MENTIONED THAT? WOOOOO!
In short, I love hockey. We miss you, Russian -- please come back soon. (Don't overdo it this time.)

Nice suit dude!
(And I'm hotter than that ice girl. I don't know why I needed to share that, but I did.)

Having seen a picture of you, I can totally say that you are way hotter than any Ice Girl we have! (Sorry, ice girls...!)
RUSSIAN! I very much approve of his outfit. Like, very much.

It's very snazzy. The pretty lady next to him probably had something to do with it. ;)
It is good to see Zubov dressed up like that (and kinda' funny , too) . That pretty little blonde next to him is his wife . His kids take after their mother . They are not scary at all .

Hee! Oh, Scary Russian. I'm still in awe of your daughter totally taking a picture with Zubov! She's a far braver soul than I!
