Spotted: St. Louis Blues on ‘Prison Break’
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
My colleague Brian Nehring, a sharp-eyed “Prison Break” fan, spotted something unusual on this week’s episode: the names of St. Louis Blues players in the address book of Gretchen’s (Jodi Lyn O’Keefe) phone. What was up? Studying the opening credits offered an answer. The episode was written by Christian Trokey, who grew up in St. Charles and got away with slipping in a shout-out to a hometown team.
What where the names??
The first names were wrong, but the last names included Stasny, Oshie, Tkachuk, Johnson, Backes and Brewer.
This isn’t the first time. In 2006, the same ploy was used with the names:
* Adia Weight
* Adrianna Kopitar
* Agatha Ovechkin
* Aidan Kotalik
* Amy Crosby
* Andrea Staios
