I found this over at Here Come the Bruins! Check out their blog, it is pretty good.
Galactic Empire = Detroit
A fading empire, ruthless and hopelessly corrupt, concerned only with hoarding power and influence, yet unable to adjust when challenged by smaller, smarter opponents. And that’s just GM.
Pittsburgh = Rebel Alliance
All great rebellions begin in the hinterlands, in places so desperate that lonesome farmboys turn to religion and violence as a relief from their boredom. Western Pennsylvania sounds about right.
Luke Skywalker = Sidney Crosby
The Messiah, the Anointed One, the whiny brat who thinks he’s a great leader at age 20.
Han Solo = Evgeni Malkin
He might not get all the publicity, but he’s the guy you really wanted to be when you grew up. At the end of the day, you can thank this cool cat for blasting Vader’s ass and gifting the Golden Child his moment of glory.
Mario Lemieux = Obi-Wan Kenobi
A legend in his own time, he now gazes from above and offers quiet words of wisdom to his protegee’.
Henrik Zetterberg = Darth Vader
Don’t fuck with this guy. He will own you.
Pavel Datsyuk = Anakin Skywalker
The lovable hero that is impossible to hate, but has the power to single-handily destroy you if he so desires…
Johan Franzen = Darth Maul
As if the Empire needed this guy on top of everything else they’ve got going for them. It’s not even fair.
Hal Gill - Chewbacca
Raaaawwwrrrrr!!!
Jabba the Hutt = Gary Bettman
“Soon, you will learn to appreciate me…”
Piere McGuire = C-3PO
Go away, nobody likes you.
Mike Babcock = The Emperor
Don’t bother adjusting your matchups or changing your strategy. He’s already foreseen your moves and countered them in advance. Now he’s going to make you watch as he destroys your pitiful band of rebels.
lol, Detroit is fucking lame.
Detroit has been known as the “Evil Empire” in Colorado for many, many years. Red Wings Suck.
