On the entertainment stage, Maple Leafs defence partners Roman Polak and Martin Marincin are no threat to the longevity of the Festrunk Brothers.
From the early Saturday Night Live skits, the manic Festrunks emigrated from the now-parted Czechoslovakia and were on the make in America. Polak (a Czech) and Marincin (a Slovak) are far from being two wild and crazy guys, in fact coach Mike Babcock is trying them in tandem at training camp because they do the drudgery of stay-at-home defencemen.
Like the Festrunks, they’ve debuted in the third week of September (almost 40 years later), but it remains to be seen if Babcock wants them as a unit as more Leafs cuts loom.
