Not a hockey fan? : Watch this guy, and you might just change your mind. He's stuck playing in Nashville, known more for honky-tonk than hockey, but make the effort to watch a game or two. I visited my uncle in Manitoba last winter, and he descibed people driving hundreds of miles, so that's alot of kilometer(re)s, just to watch him play. As you can tell, I'm pretty geeked to see him step on the ice.

Go that guy! Or do I just want to see him succeed because he is Inuit?

maybe...he's supposedly awesome to watch; hits much bigger than his size, and skates like the wind. It could've been the moonshine, but the way my uncle told it, he's definitely worth the price of admission.

Hi, yeah - Tootoo is unlikely to win any scoring races but he is a hitting machine. The PR has him a bit too hyped according to what I've read - but he has that Tie Domi instant fan favorite thing going on. Plus, his last name is Tootoo. That can only help.

Just wait until some other team signs ThreeThree, then another gets FourFour. It's a numbers race!

He was entertaining to watch at the World Junior Championship. He's a ball of energy on the ice. His role apparently is to hit every player in sight for the duration of his shift. Fun to watch, and I wish him well. I'm still not gonna root for the Preds, though.

Great post, I wouldn't have heard about it otherwise. (Yes I'm still alive people, its just that my college started an ice hockey club team and I'm incredibly busy nowadays)

insomnyuk, please tell me you're the goalie!

I'm sorry, but every time I see his name I always think of this... Mordecai Richler? Really?

Nope, I'm a center/wing or defense. Anything but goalie. For some reason my teammates aim for my head when I put on the goalie pads.

Mordecai did write the Jacob T.T. book(s), grum...
