from Allan Maki of the Globe and Mail,

The question was put to Tyler Sloan as he sat in the far corner of the Washington Capitals dressing room, a few stalls to the right of Sergei Fedorov, Alexander Semin and hockey’s most dynamic force, Alexander Ovechkin: If someone made a movie out of your career, what would they call it?

Sloan smiled as he undid his skates. Cinderella Man, he replied.

Indeed, his saga is the feel-good story of this early NHL season.

It’s the tale of a 27-year-old career minor-leaguer who finally gets his shot in the NHL.

A perfectly delivered legal check, reminiscent
of Scott Stevens hit on Kozlov in the playoffs. Rene Bourque
was on him in a nanosecond like a Barn Owl on a Field Mouse.
Bourke cost the Flames 9 min in PK mode, and the Caps
uncapitalized, squandering a 1-0 lead as the game deteriorated
into a 5 on 3 circus.
