Hey Lorne, Need A New Writer?

Derek Stepan was the New York Rangers' highest-scoring player this year.  Whenever I see the Rangers on TV, I hear the commentators say his name, and I keep hearing it as Stefon, the uber-hipster character from Saturday Night Live.  He's played by Bill Hader, who leaves the show after this weekend's season finale.  So in his honour, here is what I imagine a post-game interview with Derek Stepan would sound like:

Reporter: What did the team do to up the intensity for the playoffs?

Stepan: If you want intensity, then look no further.  New York's hottest club is [makes noise of goal siren].  Club owner Glam Boni is back with this new club that answers the question, “Luongo?” Located in Steve Avery's old hockey bag, this club has everything: goons, pucks, estranged Sutters, butch gorings, guys in Jaromir Jagr wigs, goalies who poke check without a stick.  And look, is that Don Cherry?  No, it's a homeless guy living in a 1970’s couch.  It's got all that and human skate sharpeners.

Reporter: Human skate sharpeners?

Stepan: That's that thing where a rapper who's had all his teeth replaced with silver gives you a pedicure.
