Today - Scott Jones and girlfriend Alex Thomas were photographed kissing on
the ground while surrounded by riot police as chaos swirled around them
following the Vancouver Canucks’ loss in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup
Finals on Wednesday. Illuminated in a glow, they looked like they
belonged on a movie poster (their embrace even drew a comparison to the
iconic image of lovers on a beach from the film classic “From Here to
Eternity”).
But video later showed that the two were actually on the ground
because they’d been knocked there by police. Rather than setting his
girlfriend’s heart fluttering with a well-timed smooch, Jones was, in
fact, attempting to bring it under control.
“I was just trying to calm her down,’’ Jones told TODAY’s Matt Lauer and
Ann Curry via satellite from Vancouver in an exclusive interview
alongside Thomas on Monday. “It was pretty scary for her, and it seemed
like the best thing to do.’’ Video
Instant classic. This dude pulled out one of the best moves ever to calm his girlfriend down and deserves a little respect for the classic move. The fact that it looks like he is finger blasting her is even better.
