I had never seen him pay any attention to any other TV show until today. This is Cyrus, perched atop his scratching post, completely absorbed by the New York Rangers-Pittsburgh Penguins playoff hockey game. He even tried to capture the puck, though without success.
I’ve tried to figure out what his rooting interest is in the New York-Pittsburgh series. The only thing I’ve come up with so far is that back in the late 1980s, Cyrus’ near-namesake, Paul Cyr, was a forward for the Rangers. And it is certainly true that the most appropriate adjective one could use to describe Cy would have to be “puckish.” I welcome any additional theories!
