An unsung hero
The Boston Globe has published an excellent article on Toots! Fluto Shinzawa writes some interesting points about what he calls the Stars' unsung heroes
Here are some excerpts :
"But in the words of both player and coach, the Predators might not have a league-best 71 points -- and perhaps Timonen and Trotz wouldn't be in Dallas -- if not for a player whose hard-hitting style is practically forbidden at All-Star Games: forward Jordin Tootoo."
"To see him almost going through the boards wakes you up."
""He plays hard and he fights, too. You can't replace that on the ice. On our team, he's a very important guy."
"But it's no-name energy guys like Tootoo who give superstars the freedom to perform their magic."
"He's one of the most hated players in the league," said Trotz. "But he backs it up.
