TheAussiePosse Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Link to interview Basically the whole article's a cracker, but here are two of my favourites: Q - Why do you have a special knack against Washington, scoring every third of your goals in the regular season? A - I don't know, it just happens. Although it's a pity that Henlon left Washington. I would have scored not three but six against them. Let him see who is "too young for the national team". Q - Do you remember the most original question American journalists have asked you? A - You should not expect originality from them. Every other time they ask the same: "How do you like to play with your brother?" zing! Man, HW needs an exclusive interview with this guy pronto!

TheAussiePosse Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Agreed. He takes a swipe at Glen Hanlon who overlooked him for the national team, and then at journalists who ask him the same thing at every interview. What are we missing here?

What are we missing here? Yeah, but those were the only funny things in the interview. You hyped it up to be absolutely hilarious and I was disappointed.

You hyped it up to be absolutely hilarious and I was disappointed. don't worry your are young you will get over it.

lazy26 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Yep, Sergei's got a good sense of humour. It's definitely refreshing in a world where most athletes questioned will simply respond in clichés. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely refreshing in a world where most athletes questioned will simply respond in clichés. Good, more people got it. I'm happy to boot Kostopolous now, if Chipchura and D'Agostini and Patches are ready to play - his only other endearing feature (apart from heart and decent defensive skills) was that he was funny.

JLP Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 who do we think was the funniest Hab of all time? (maybe Newsy Lalonde for his name, but I'm thinking more sense of humor.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mont Royale Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 who do we think was the funniest habs of all time? If I remember correctly from Dryden's book, Guy Lapointe and Steve Shutt were characters from that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't answer in cliches but that doesn't make him funny. More personality than the average hockey player but compared to the average person his answers are nothing out of the ordinary.

TheAussiePosse Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 So giving serious, straight answers is amusing? Maybe you don't understand the Russian/Belorussian sense of humour? :?- When was the last time you heard a Russian throw out a hilarious in-your-face outlandish joke? That's America's style. Anyway, good point, it's just an article. C'mon rookie camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
