I ended today's Morning News post with a clip from the first episode of this season's 24/7: The Road To The NHL Winter Classic, where goalie Ilya Bryzgalov explained why he's fascinated with the universe. Last week's episode brought more quotable moments from Bryz, which I meant to post on Slog at the time, but then I was distracted by all the shiny things on the Christmas tree. Anyway, apparently Bryzgalov thinks his husky dog is "basically a hot girl."

What will Bryzgalov say next? Find out tonight on episode 3 of 24/7: Flyers and Rangers: The Road To The NHL Winter Classic

I fucking love this series.
