Sami Lepisto: Lovably Sexy

Sami, does coach hate you or something? I mean, you’re a better hockey player than John Scott…usually, so I don’t see why you never play. I think maybe he holds a grudge because you have better facial hair (I said facial hair, not mustache…no one can out-mustache Coach Q). Or maybe he’s swayed by the whole “7-2-1 when John Scott plays” (or whatever the numbers are now…) thing. Whatever, it’s a mystery to me. We obtain a fairly good defenseman, and never skate him. *Shoulder shrug* Truthfully, I don’t know very much about Lepisto outside of his Twitter account, good looks and questionable choices in shoes. (He’s European…so it’s allowed.) I’ve kind of had to dig around for some info on Sami, relying on what I hear from the girls at games, what I read online and what the magazines seem to say…and then draw my own conclusions. Honestly, Sami was a pain in the ass when I didn’t have much information on him. I mean, he’s really a good looking guy, so writing about what makes him physically sexy was not too much of a challenge. He has pretty, blue eyes, a huge smile, and fantastic “hockey hair.” And I’m not usually a huge fan of facial hair, but man, his little goatee works. He rocks it pretty well. He also has that sense of “silly” to him…like he doesn’t quite realize that he’s a really good-looking guy, and he’s trying to win you over with a charming, witty personality. Sami, you don’t need to do that, but we’re glad you try. I’m pretty sure you could just look at a girl, smile, and you’d win. But I really love the fact that you have a warm personality to go along with your Finnish good looks. (By the way, my autocorrect keeps changing “Finnish” to “Finish.” Are you telling me to not write this blog today, autocorrect?) Speaking of good looks, he’s roommates with Daniel Carcillo. This might be the most hilariously sexy room in Blackhawks history (well, since Burish/Sharp). Between the two of them, the good looks and humor are just…overwhelming. Massive quantities. Seriously…I’m just saying. Ok, so what else do I personally love about Mr. Sami Lepisto. First of all, he has openly admitted to really loving the city of Chicago. He did claim that it was one of his favorite road cities. He loves the team, he loves the fans, and he loves the anthem.
Then again, who doesn’t? Of course, he also admitted to the fact that he used to hate it in his life as a non-Hawk. But then again, isn’t that how it should be?!
What’s sexy is that he said this in public. I mean, I know players say things on occasion just to get in good with fans, but for whatever reason, I really feel like Sami means it. He’s just a seemingly all-around genuine kind of guy. Maybe it’s that quiet, humble, lovable bit about him, but he just strikes me as “real.” Know what I mean? And lord knows I love “real.” Sami Lepisto seems like that really sweet, quiet guy who had that winning sense of humor, style and charm, but he never quite achieved his full-blown “heartthrob status.” He’s that guy in high school that was so friendly and sweet and good looking, but you never gave him a shot because he wasn’t the quarterback (er…captain? Keep it in context here.) He was a great friend, but you never really found him to be particularly attractive or sexy. But then one day, you were minding your own business at home, cleaning up the poop that your brand new puppy left on the floor, watching a hockey game, and you see your old friend Sami skating with an NHL team…and a big name, no less. And you drop the poopy-bag on the floor, scaring your dog and making a mess, and you think to yourself, “My god…why didn’t I give this guy a shot years ago? LOOK AT HIM! Wow…he’s…gorgeous.” Your dog is barking but you’re too busy being captivated by Sami’s blue eyes. Suddenly now that he has the bright lights and public display of playing on the Blackhawks, ladies are noticing this beauty. They’re stopping and paying attention to this beautiful piece of man, and they’re falling in love with those blue eyes and perfectly delicate smile. His charm is suddenly appreciated by the women around him, and Sami is truly coming into his own “sneaky heartthrob” status. He’s just so lovable. All around, the man is lovable.

While the “all about the looks” girls are still drooling over their Jonathan Toews posters and Patrick Kane mullets, the more refined tastes of the “there’s more to a man than a pretty face” ladies are realizing that Sami has got it all: the perfect looks, yes of course…but he also has that well-dressed European sense of fashion, the silly sense of humor and quirky personality, a badass of a roommate (to make himself look more “delicate,” of course), and how can we forget that he has a great job and a nice car. You know, those last two are just a bonus, but come on. Ladies, it’s definitely a selling point, am I right? Man, that Sami is just…so…perfect! I mean, come on, Twitter followers, when you see him post photos you have to admit, you always look. And if you’re female, chances are, you’re not having a moment of shame admitting that if it’s a picture of his face (especially if he’s smiling) you look at it for an extra few seconds. Burn that image into your brain, am I right? Now I realize that most of this blog has really focused on Sami Lepisto being “pretty” and I’ve even used words like “delicate” and stuff, but I want to make it clear that even though I use those words, in no way am I trying to make him seem weak or anything. Fact is, he’s still a hockey player. And honestly, even the biggest wimps in the hockey world are still tougher than most baseball players. Yeah, I just said that. Baseball fans, get over it. I’m a baseball fan too, but you can’t deny that the “injuries” baseball players use to go on the disabled list are ridiculous. I mean, would you be able to call in sick to work with some of these? I surely wouldn’t! A sore thumb is not a reason to sit out during a game. If getting hit in the face with a puck doesn’t stop Duncan Keith or Dan Carcillo (or any others for that matter) your sore pinky shouldn’t stop you. “Oh but it’s my throwing hand” big fuckin’ deal. It’s their “seeing face,” and “eating teeth.” I have no sympathy. Rub some dirt on it, tape that shit up and get the fuck back out there. *end rant.*
Ok. My point is, even as pretty as he is, Sami is still, by default, somewhat of a badass because quite frankly, hockey players are badass. There’s a reason these men are the sexiest athletes of all. They’re tough. They’re determined. They’re everything we talked about in the first hockey blog. Sami’s no exception. Thus far, he is simply lucky enough that his good looks have not been permanently ruined or even damaged in the slightest by the “accidental injury” nature of the sport. Even though, I’m sure even with a few dings or scars, the toughness would only add to his beauty. See, this is the beautiful thing about Lepisto! Even if he were to bust a nose or somehow “alter” his beautiful face, I’m sure it would still be prettier than almost any guy out there. He’s just that beautiful. Beautifully badass, I suppose we can say. Oh man, Sami, the more I blab about you, the more attractive you seem to become. The more photos I find of you, both new and old, the more I realize that you’re a true stud! I don’t know if you realize it, and if you do…you do a great job of “playing humble.” Either way, please, stay exactly the way you are. I wouldn’t change a single thing about you. (Ok maybe that’s a lie…I’d change the amount of time you played every game, but that’s why I’m not one making those decisions.) I only hope that you stick around for a while and I can get to learn more about you so I can maybe write this again in the future and write about more than your pretty face and gorgeous blue eyes…even though I’m totally content with an entire entry about them
You’re lovable, Sami. Stay that way please, and Chicago will continue to…well…love you!
