THE THIRD MAN IN

Straight from the pages of Yahoo!'s Puck Daddy via Orland Kurtenblog of The Province, Chicago Blackhawks stars' Patrick Kane, 21, Kris Versteeg, 23, and John Madden, 36, were photographed over the weekend during a limousine party cruise around the city of Vancouver.

The utter stupidity of the trio should not be questioned in this instance.  Not because they were out "living the life" or indulging in the excesses easily accessible to professional athletes (especially NHL stars in Vancouver of all places) but because they knowingly allowed themselves to be photographed in the following poses with what we would presume to be virtual strangers to their normal, every day lives.

John McDonough will come to anticipate these types of revolving nusances involving Patrick Kane.  The same both on and off ice from Versteeg as he's around.  Which shouldn't be much longer.  The surprise here is the presence, or lack thereof, of Madden.  (I'll spare you the morality speech in his case.  I'm sure he's one Hawk not looking forward to getting home to Chicago early Sunday morning.)  But perhaps a surprise it shouldn't be?  Regardless, Sir John McDonough doesn't appreciate disfavoring publicity of any kind, on any level.

All the visual evidence was released here.  But here are the highlights.

"Babes, don't worry. We ain't tippin' sh*t!!"

"The dames back home call me Steeger!  Did you check out my new haircut?" (link NSFW)

"Yeah b*tches! Johnny Mads' with the chick wearin' the bee-hive. That's how a vet roles, kids."

Another reason players can't wait to get to Vancouver.  Next time boys, close the shutters.
