Blackhawks’ Patrick Sharp dresses up like a dog for Valentine’s Day surprise (VIDEO)

All right, so the bad news is that the title suggests a much, much more kinky post than this actually is. My apologies if you clicked through expecting some grown-ups only Puck Daddy action.

But this video is still pretty great. In a promo for the Illinois Lottery, Patrick Sharp dons a dog costume to surprise a Blackhawks fan named Deb with a Valentine's Day gift basket. Of course, the real surprise is that the man inside the dog costume is Patrick Sharp:

Deb's reaction is perfect, especially as she under-reacts to Sharp showing up with the gift basket, perhaps because she's on camera and he's wearing a giant dog head over his regular head. It's even funnier when she nearly loses it at the sight of Tommy Hawk.

"Oh my god, Tommy Hawk!"

But then Sharp removes the headgear and at that point, streamers fly and Deb realizes she just brushed off her favourite Blackhawk. I love the way she trips over her words trying to explain why she initially gave the mascot more love.

"I would have hugged you more if I had known... I gave Tommy Hawk a better, uh... wow, I'm speechless."

From that point on, however, she hangs all over him. "Mindy, eat your heart out," she says to her unseen friend Mindy. Quality Valentine's Day for Deb.
