From Dave Pollard at Hockey.com,
Well, even goonery is going global these days. Although most of the league’s tough guys still hail from the frozen North, I’ve noticed a few Europeans creeping into the fistic fraternity.
Chicago’s David Koci calls Prague, not Prince George, home. Raitis Ivanans hails from Riga, not Red Deer. Boston’s man-mountain, Zdeno Chara, grew up, way up, in Trencin, not Thompson.
What do you think of that, Don Cherry?
Geez, I think I saw his tartan jacket just blanch.
