Much to the delight of myself and many others around North America, Steve Yzerman recently signed on for another year with the Detroit Red Wings, extending his streak as the longest serving NHL captain of all-time to 19 years..

If you want to see some good pictures of Canada’s beauty defeat over the USA Tuesday night, wait until the next time People Magazine throws together their best/worst dressed of the year, although they’ll have some stiff competition with Mugatu and his Derelicht campaign looking to be favorites to take home the coveted Human Excrement Award of Fashion Greatness, or the “HEAOFG” this year.
