What keeps Conklin busy?

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Going to a lot of Red Wings games and noticing that the puck 80% of the time is in the Offensive zone for the Wings, it made me wonder... Answer this question anyway you see fit, feel free to make it fun...

What does Conklin do during a game while the puck is in the offensive zone?

Say for example,

He spends time thinking about the next prank he is going to play on Ozzie.

He sings, I feel good because Datsyuk received a phone call right before the game.

He really has a bluetooth under his helmet and is on the phone with Gary Bettemen trying to find out which teams will be in the next Winter Classic so he can go there next season...

Wonders who on the bench is following the letsgowings forums looking for tips and insight as to how the game should really be played, and what line combos Babcock should use.

It's a sad story actually. He used to scuff up a lot of slush, put it in a nice square and use his skates to make a tic-tac-toe board. Then he'd use the blade end of the stick to make X's, and the butt end to make O's.

He had to stop because the guys were making fun of him for playing with himself.

But the loudest laughs always came when Draper noted that it only took 35 seconds for Conklin to finish playing with himself, usually ending the game with a big O

Since he is a licensed pilot, I think he's planning out his next flight. Either that or he's figuring out a new invention for making the plane fly better.

I was about to say, he holds a lifesize photo of the cockpit in front of him and runs through mental simulations. Occasionally he'll kick a leg out without looking up to block a shot.

Hidden in his pads is a life-size cardboard cutout of himself. Sometimes he sneaks out for a cherry slushie. He just has to be careful not to spill it in the vicinity of a Wing getting penalized or it could double the infraction.

Well if the consistency of slushie is similar to "octopus juice", he'll have to be careful not to get any on the ice, or the team will be fined. Apparently it's impossible to skate over.
