Hello, handsome. (Photo: Chicago Magazine)
It boggles the mind that Monday Morning Motivation has gone on this long without a post about arguably one of the most handsome men in hockey. I suppose this is because I haven’t gotten off of my behind and written one myself. Well, today, I am rectifying this grave error.
He’s number 10 in your programs, but number one in your hearts (and perhaps other, lower places) — the Chicago Blackhawks’ very own Patrick Sharp.
You’re welcome.
I guess this is where I should extol the value of Sharp as a player, but, uh…
HIS EYES, THOUGH.
I keep getting distracted. Ahem. Anyway, Sharp is –

Sharp is one of two alternate captains on the Blackhawks. He’s been on the team since the dark days of 2006, when he was traded to Chicago from the Philadelphia Flyers for Matt Ellison (Who? Exactly).
It would go down as one of the most lop-sided trades in the past ten years.
Suckers!
He has a dog named Shooter. Sharp's nickname is Shooter. So, really, he named the dog after himself.
Sharp has scored at least 20 goals in every season he’s been with the Blackhawks. He was on the 2010 Stanley Cup-winning team and was named All-Star MVP in 2011.

And then this happened. (Photo: blackhawks.nhl.com)
He married his college sweetheart, Abby, in the summer of 2010. In December 2011, their first child, Madelyn Grace Sharp, was born.
And promptly ended up on a magazine cover with her famous daddy.
And now — even more attractive photos!
If you’re still not feeling properly motivated this Monday morning, check out these videos featuring Sharp:

I feel like the Millenium Falcon being pulled in by the Death Star…turn away! No, I can’t and all deflector shields are up!
Guess I’ll just have to look at him for awhile longer. Damn the ways of the Force.
I wonder if his sperm are frozen somewhere…they should be if they aren’t. Men as gorgeous as this should be walking the planet everywhere for classy ladies like me to take advantage of.
Thinking outloud and now signing off…thank you, Kat. You rock, girl.

Star Wars references + Patrick Sharp’s face = A++.
(He’d make a good Han Solo, now that I think about it…)

I am not ashamed that I right-clicked a few of those motivational pics to keep in my phone. I am also not ashamed that I already had the rest that I didn’t right-click and save. I already had those videos favorited at YouTube.
This isn’t creepy, right? You guys?
