A number of years ago, when Alexander Daigle couldn't make it as a hockey player as he was too much of a bum, he thought that he should be paid to be a bum and become an actor.
Now that all these "great" teams with overpriced talent have been and gone from the finals, I thought we should take a look at some of the movies coming up with some more of these bums who think that if they could just be paid a few million more, they'd make it to the Cup...

Tie Domi and Darcy Tucker star in Dumb and Dumber
Daniel Alfredsson and Mats Sundin star in a comedy about room-mates try sharing an apartment, but their ideas of hockey and lifestyles are as different as night and day. Finding hard to exist in the smae province, let alone the same house, they are The Odd Couple
