Kristen Bell says Chris Osgood was "her first crush."

"Brad Pitt be damned – he had nothing on Osgood's rookie skill and sad eyes," Bell, 26, says on NHL.com. "There was actually a day in high school when I wrote on a name tag 'Mrs. Osgood' and wore it the whole day. I really thought we were perfect for each other. I'd love to meet him – and probably apologize that things never worked out."

"I grew up in Detroit and have always been a huge Wings fan. They have heart, skill, class – and the best color combination known to man," she says. "That is why they will win."
