When it comes to the Eastern Conference Finals between the New York Rangers and the New Jersey Devils, you would think the winner when it comes to handsomeness would easily be Henrik Lundqvist. Nothing against Hank, but the Devils have some American born hotness of their own in Captain Zach Parise.

I’m not a Devils fan, in fact I’m still bitter about their bouncing of my Lightning in the 2003 playoffs but Zach has grown on me. It all started during last year’s World Championships. Parise was unable to play for the USA due to a knee injury, but he joined the studio crew and offered his insight on the tournament. My reaction seemed to be similar to that of some of the other Aerys NHL girls: Yowza.

Kindly ignore Jeff Carter and Brian Campbell in the jerseys of teams they no longer play for and concentrate on the cute on the left.

Zach and children!

I couldn’t find any screen caps of Zach in his suit during his studio time for the World Championships last year. Enjoy a shirtless screen cap instead.
