Blue Jackets player tests out Shake Weight

Found April 11, 2012 on Sweater Punch: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jody Shelley,  James Wisniewski
TEAMS: Philadelphia Flyers,  Columbus Blue Jackets

Share

When your hockey off-season work-out begins with a Shake Weight session, it shouldn’t surprise anybody when your team ends up dead last in the NHL.

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman, James Wisnieski, is seen here getting his Shake Weight work-out on. Apparently James found this worthless piece of exercise equipment when hanging out in the basement of fellow NHLer Jody Shelley’s house. With this off-season routine, the Blue Jackets are doomed to another season agony.

Courtesy of Justin K. Aller/Getty Images By Charlie O’Connor (@THG_Charlie) After three first period goals, you could almost hear the scribes at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh pounding away at their keyboards, rehashing the classic Philadelphia hockey narrative. Yet again, the goaltender was coming up short.

Last week, when I saw the YouTube video of Scott Hartnell making his then-famous now-forgotten - nothing personal, Scottie, that’s just the way things go these days - Hulk Hogan impersonation, I thought of a friend of mine who did the same thing 15 years ago. Only, he wasn’t doing it in front of 15 000 people, or to a guy dressed up as Hulk Hogan. He did it in an ice cold...
