I am four feet, ten inches tall. At that height, it’s almost pointless to wear heels. Anyway, I just saw this video and LOVED it because it encapsulates so many truths about being a short woman.

The Other Guys – Eric Nystrom of the Nashville Predators
After a four day break, the Kings are playing again in less than four hours. Thank goodness. I was starting to get jittery. They go up against the Predators, of which Eric Nystrom is one.
Nystrom is an American. Woot. He’s thirty years old, a veteran player. He is also the son of NHL player Bob Nystrom.
Here he is rocking the bald look. Personally, I find myself bypassing the shiny pate completely because, man, he has amazing eyes.
Here’s another photo of him sporting a Movember ‘Stache. He kind of looks like he might be an extra in a movie set during the turn of the century.
The Other Guys – Tyler Seguin of the Dallas Stars
Welcome to The Other Guys – a regular feature on my blog where I share yummy players from the opposing team with you.
Today we’re taking a look at Tyler Seguin (SAY-ginn). The kid’s only 21 and he has a Stanley Cup ring (from his time on the Boston Bruins.)
He left under a bit of a bad press cloud with the media suggesting he was a bad boy off the ice and perhaps wasn’t being as professional as he should have been, but the media isn’t always a reputable source for the truth.
I was impressed when I saw this video. Apparently at every home game, he invites disabled people to watch the game from a suite at the American Airlines Center. When the game is over, he goes up to visit with them.
This is a sizable and admirable commitment. I applaud him. It’s relatively easy for a player to donate money. I don’t want to demean monetary gifts. Obviously, money is a terrific way to “give back” to the community. But to give up time and to make that personal connection with people is something special.
And here he is with his dog. Super cute.
The Other Guys – Semyon Varlamov of the Colorado Avalanche
The hockey season is packed this year because of the Olympics. It seems as if there’s a game every other night. Now, I’m not complaining. I love watching my Los Angeles Kings win. Heh heh. They’re doing quite well right now. We’re fourth in the league as of the posting of this blog.
