The only thing more entertaining these past few days than listening to Dave Gettleman speak to reporters was watching Pat Shurmur while Gettleman spoke to reporters.
As the general manager wove in and out of anecdotes and one-liners with the agility of a three-cone drill at the Combine, Shurmur, the straight man of the two, sat beside Gettleman wondering what would come out of his mouth next. His eyes would open wide at some remarks, look around in confusion at others (especially when Gettleman dropped a word or two in Yiddish), and a smile would even cross his face once in a while.
