He is The One

Can someone tell me why Keanu Reeves is doing ads for the Stanley Cup finals?? Of all the guys they could have gotten, is he really the best one to make people want to watch hockey? The sport is floundering, people. The league might not exist next season. Is a spot featuring Bill (or was it Ted?) really going to sell a bunch of skeptical Americans on the fact that hockey is a legit sport and should be considered so? I realize that Keanu is Canadian, and as such, he commands a certain innate respect. But is he really the best Canadian for the job? Was Alanis Morrisette too busy? Were the Barenaked Ladies on tour or something? Here's a whole list of other people who could have done the job.

I think the next step is to get Trinity to do some spots for women's soccer.

Neil Young should speak for all canadians, always. He should be their prime minister. Flannel wearing, vocoder recording, prime-fucking-minister. The theme song for hockey would be accompanied by bloopers and would be, "Why do I keep fucking up."

It's because Keanu plays hockey [goaltender] [u]and[/u] is Canadian.

i dont know, but everyone in this little end-of-the-world town pahoa on the big island worships him as their homeboy. and come on everyone, the _name_! keanu is a hawaiian word meaning "cool breeze." now if that's not proof of nationality, i don't know what is.
