One Is Enough

So Colton Orr is sitting in his apartment, talking to his mother and girlfriend when the phone rings. He picks it up and gets asked to be on “The Bachelor”.

Wait, what? No, I’m serious.

Colton Orr, the popular New York Rangers forward, got an interesting offer late last week. The 25-year-old Orr, one of the toughest players in hockey, got a call from the producers of the ABC reality series The Bachelor. They offered the Winnipeg native a nice deal to be the 12th bachelor, the next single guy searching for true love.

However, when the call came, it was an awkward moment. Orr’s mother and girlfriend, were in his apartment.

According to Doug Orr, the player’s father, “Colt’s not really looking for love. It was a great deal, but it’s a pretty tough decision. He has a girlfriend and she’s great. She’s an actress and she’s a lot of fun. If Colt’s going to do this, she’d better have a sense of humour.”

One girlfriend is probably enough for Orr. Still, pretty funny.

They Meet Again

Panthers forward Bryan Allen is listed as day-to-day after being dropped by Nick Tarnasky on Monday night. Tarnasky landed a punch that sent Allen down for the count while the linesmen attempted to end things before they got started. You can see what transpired here.

The Panthers and Lightning meet again this evening.

Kurtis Foster: Boogaard’s Newest Student?

Kurtis Foster doesn’t seem to be able to find the net these days, so he’s tried to step up his physical play to make up for it. After taking on Eric Nystrom earlier in the week, Minnesota Wild head coach Jacques Lemaire has some tips for Foster:

Ironically, it was only offense that wasn’t clicking for the offensive-minded Foster, who has been strong defensively and has a newfound love of physical play.

“When you’re more aggressive, when you feel like playing and playing hard, it’s a good sign,” Lemaire said.

But fighting? That’s another thing. In Saturday’s 4-1 victory over Calgary, Foster, who had six hits, had his first NHL fight. It came shortly after Foster nailed the Flames’ Eric Nystrom on successive shifts. The two grabbed each other and twirled before Foster lost his balance and fell on his back.

“He better get some courses, couple crash courses. Maybe he can go to Boogey’s school,” Lemaire joked, a reference to Derek Boogaard’s summer fighting camp for children. “We’ll send him to Ultimate Fighting camp. Or we might buy him a jersey that says ‘Ultimate Fighting’ on it.”
