Deadspin
If you didn't watch the Stanley Cup Finals Game 2 last night — and of course you did — you might have missed this odd shot of Snoop Dogg, who, for reasons unbeknown to anyone but him (and probably not him either), was wearing a fake mustache.
We know hockey gets a bad rap, around here and everywhere else, but we would really like to point that we enjoy watching hockey, particularly that of the playoff variety. But man, seriously, No one is watching these games. The rating for Game 1 was 0.72, which is "Quite Frankly" bad. Allotting for the inherent weirdness of Nielsen ratings, that translates to about 523,000 people watching Game 1 of the sport's championship. That's five Tennessee home football games.

Better: the mustache or the kid's fade?
That's a tough one, I know.
But man, seriously, No one is watching these games.
It's too bad. They've been really good games so far.
In Snoop's defense, he went to the game straight from a Civil War reenactment.
"We know hockey gets a bad rap..." Someone's been eating their Wheaties.
Superfly.
Who wants a mustache ride?
Snoop is trying to start his own version of the duo, Kid n' Play.
You moron, that's not Snoop and his son, that's Kid 'N Play.
And his young friend, of course, just came from a Kid 'n Play reenactment.
@Civil Negligence: I will cut you.
Thats not a mustache it's a really big bud.
[blink blink]
Deadspin comment trifecta?
It's not a fake moustache. It's hash oil.
@Civil Negligence: @Oops Pow Surprise: RRRRRRRRRRR
Was that a Kid n Play hat trick? Box cuts for everybody!
I think that's a trifecta. Kid n' Play have been summoned, a la Biggie Smalls.
That's the George Parros mustache. They're sold at the gift shop.
And for the people not watching, watch whatever. I don't care. That's why I turn off ESPN and any other mainstream media outlet.
Hello Snoop Dogg! Your Ron Mexico name, the ultimate disguise, is Tommie Seychelles.
That's not Snoop, it's Jim Rice!
I can't believe I spaced on Wilford Brimley night!
@thesepretzels: @Oops Pow Surprise:
My statement was copyrighted, you will be hearing from my lawyer shortly...
Holy fucking crap, I never thought I'd see the Kid 'n Play trifecta in a post about the Stanley Cup Finals.
Bigger whup brooms on the lip get the ladies.
The games have been fun to watch. Too bad no one's actually watching.
@BigJimSlade: Can I have a hat instead?
+1 to Chris' Sports Blog for that headline.
"A FAKE MUSTACHE, WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?"
Stephen A. Smith
@Civil Negligence: Oh, Lt. Winslow, calling Lt. Winslow..
@Raskolnikov: I loved George Parros' work when he was in the band Ambrosia. What a picture!
In all seriousness, Snoop's mustache is a shout out to Ducks enforcer George Parros, the pride of Delbarton High School.
Snoop wearing his mustache makes up for Delbarton also being the alma mater of one of the Duke non-rape rapists.
Snoop has that "How am I not baked" look on his face. I am wearing the same expression right now.
I would watch if I could find it. I start looking for it and get distracted by MLB Game Mix.
@Civil Negligence: Let me let your lawyer direct that subpoena to my arm.
Maybe he's the evil Snoop.
Funny that everyone is mentioning Kid 'n Play, because a showing of House Party II got higher ratings than the Stanley Cup Finals.
damn, there really is NO bandwagon that Snoop wont climb aboard.
As a Tennessee fan, I'd just like to point out that 523,000 is closer to 5 Ohio State home games. We get a few more fans than that. Go Vols.
@metschick: for game 3, I'll have Brian Engblom turn on the mullet signal for you.
So between Snoop and the kid, and Cuba Gooding Jr. at Game 1, there have been three black people at the games so far. Not bad!
hey, looks kinda like kid 'n play right?
don't worry, I'll show myself out.
I wore that same mustache to a dog fight down in Virginia.
I boxed the dope reference exacta with weed against speed.
how has nobody realized that kid is definitely the knuckle puck kid from mighty ducks 2?
That kid's mushroom cloud fade makes House Party 2 look like House Party 3.
@Oops Pow Surprise: Man, you had to ruin a trifecta with a Phillies reference... really?
Are we sure that's Snoop and not Prince Paul in his Handsome Boy Modeling School guise?
I do prefer "hat trick" to trifecta, since we are in a hockey post. And since they came consecutively, I think it should count as a natural.
@Steve518: I'll second that.
I mean, seriously, Gary, Versus?? You couldn't have put the games on Sci Fi or Oxygen or PBS or something? Way to do right by your fans, assclown.
@Jen P: Lil Jon could have made it 4.
But that would have required Atlanta winning a playoff series or 3
@Jen P: Four.
@jwaves: Indeed. Agreed.
Proceed to smoke weed
Never have I want
Never have I need.
Whatever, the Senators are breaking out their own rapper for Game 3: Snow.
A licky boom boom down.
@Civil Negligence: What? Would you have preferred Barbaro? Elijah Dukes? STEPHEN A. SMITH? Sean Salisbury? If you ask me, redirections to the arm are always worth posting.
Am I the only one who likes his son's hair cut better than the fake mustache?
Fight the Power Mustache!
Get a taste in music, bastards.
Is that Stan Van Gundy wearing a snoop mask?
Fake mustaches, fake pigs, next can we have a post about fake tits.
@The Man with No Name: Jesse "The Devil" Hughes is not impressed with a fake moustache.
His is all real.
@Oops Pow Surprise: If you are going to go Philly-style in relation to Snoop, I believe references to old Sal Fassano would have been apropo.
'then you slip on a banana peel and land in some doo-doo. Splat. Then you rollin' around got doo-doo all over you and then here I come with my gatas' and fake mustache.
Q: What does Snoop Dogg use to wash his Ducks jersey?
A: Bleeeeeeaaaaccchhh.
@The Man with No Name: I'll help y'all out:

@Civil Negligence: That's fair. Pre-Yankee Sal had a handlebar that made Rod Beck look like a pussy.
So, Jesse Jackson lost weight and watches hockey? Hmmm, weird.
Wait what happened to Rollie Fingers?
Black people at a hockey game?
And you people thought Hogzilla was photoshopped.
Maybe they can change their name to the Mighty Los Angeles Ducks of Anaheim to capture that hard-core LA fanbase.
