Tootoo Continues to Overcompensate for Being Named After a Dress



Of course, that would be "tutu", which is admittedly spelled differently, but how many bullies did you know growing up that took the time to differentiate between two homophones when making fun of your name? Clearly, Nashville Predator Tootoo has a lot of emotional scars from his early childhood that are still taking their toll. Here, Tootoo continued to earn his reputation as a lobotomized mental patient that tries to run over anything that moves on Thursday night. It's pretty admirable stuff really, that's he's able to soldier on and act as if he isn't just an oversized dwarf at 5'9" among a peer group of fully grown adults. Kind of brings a tear to your eye. It is the stuff Hollywood movies are made of, after all.

Against the Saint Louis Blues, Tootoo had three notable hits, but it was this charge on defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo above that may end up getting the NHL's attention (if the league brass can take time out of its busy schedule to stop throwing darts at a wall to determine the length of suspensions to be handed out). The one thing that should go Tootoo's way if he does end up getting a hearing with the league is the argument that by leaving his feet he's still only tall enough to lock eyes with any one Montreal Canadien.
