Throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs Series between the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars, a fan sitting behind the Colorado bench has impersonated coach Jared Bednar. The impersonation goes beyond just a hairstyle and wearing a suit and tie. The impersonator\u2019s clothes always completely match Bednar\u2019s. Thanks to some investigative journalism from Elliotte Friedman, we now know how.<\/p>\n
Friedman broke it down during intermission of Saturday night\u2019s Game 7.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did he know what Jared was wearing? Well, we think we\u2019ve cracked the code,\u201d Friedman said. \u201cTonight, first period, of Game 7, next to the lady in the white sweater is the kid with the great lid, right there, OK?\u201d<\/p>\n
The spotlight then focused on a young man who has a particularly impressive head of hair.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of a sudden, what do we notice in the second period? The kid is gone,\u201d Friedman continued. \u201cThe impersonator is back. It\u2019s clear what\u2019s going on here. He\u2019s cheating. He sees what Bednar is wearing in the first period \u2014 and even the pocket square is identical.\u201d<\/p>\n
