Let's be honest, the Wings need to win games. You know it. I know it. The Red Wings know it. It's starting to get a little critical, and with every loss I sink a little deeper into my pool of unending stress. And I'm not going to make a list of all the areas the Wings need to improve (at the top of which would be "winning games"), because hearing "defensive coverage is lacking" and "goaltending needs improvement" and "[insert name of scapegoat du jour here] needs to break his femur and never play hockey for us again" gets old after a while.
So instead of adding in our own pseudo-analysis to the log-jam, we here at Hockeytown Static have decided to do what (sadly) we do best - strange pictures.
And nothing is stranger than Red Wing goalies (past and present) doing what they do best - weird shit.
I have to start out with an apology that Jimmy Howard hasn't really been under the scrutinizing eye of the hockey paparazzi long enough to incur any pictures on the internet (that have floated by me so far, anyway) weirder than his weird-faced headshot from 2006
unless you think it's weird to see him in an apron, serving angel-hair pasta to homeless people in Grand Rapids.

What's Ty Conklin been up to since he signed with St. Louis?
No, seriously, that's Ty Conklin. It's from the Blues' charity something something casino something, so it's not really all that strange, until you consider the fact that it looks like he grew and trimmed that facial hair especially for the event.

This was real, honest to god cereal you could buy in the store. Steve Yzerman had some too - I think his had marshmallows. Proceeds went to charity.
I never tasted it, but I hear that Chris Osgood's honey nut deliciousness is Sharkie-approved.
OM NOM NOM NOM NOM

And finally we get to the climax, where all the pictures that came before are rendered unnecessary to the point of useless, because Dom Hasek, god bless him, could anchor a wtf Wednesday all by himself:
These are from a photoshoot for a calender in the Czech Republic promoting literacy. It stars his daughter, Dominika, as Pipi Longstocking. And Dom as her... creepy, shirtless, tattooed father.
Here's him getting his make-up applied:
I can't even bring myself to come up with a decent response to this picture, and it's been on my computer since last summer. Just... wtf?

So I have some kind of pneumonia/bronchitis illness so every time I start laughing, I start coughing and choking and dying. I doing good at holding in my laughs until I reached the Dom pics.
WTF!?
Thank you for that.
