If you've ever watched a Carolina Hurricanes home game, you know that the RBC Center frequently plays a "Simpsons" clip to announce star Jeff Skinner.
Yep, that's Superintendent Chalmers' voice yelling at Principal Skinner.
But what you might not know is that that's not where "The Simpsons" references end in that lineup. While watching the Hurricanes play the Penguins the other night, I realized that the 'Canes also have Jamie "McBain" in the lineup, as in Rainier Wolfcastle's alter ego on TV's longest running show.
Upon further investigation of the Hurricanes' roster, there's also an Anthony Stewart, who could be known as "Disco Stu."
All right. I'm grasping at this last one. But it's still pretty sweet to see "Skinner" playing on a line with "McBain." Now if only we could get John Carlson from the Washington Capitals (aka Carl Carlson) and Ben Lovejoy from the Pittsburgh Penguins (Reverend Lovejoy) to all play together. The melding of my two favorite things: The Simpsons and NHL hockey. I'd be in heaven.
