Random Thought: Can You Say Tinman?

It’s late but I was just chatting with my good Devil buddy Rob “Kraze” Davis about adding an annual Tinman Award to each Hard Hits show I do over at blogtalk. And while it can be any sport and there are candidates out there, he mentioned Colin White.

But to me, he’s not the definition of a Tinman as he hits hard and gives all he can every shift even if he can’t always think or <gulp> see straight. At least Devil fans can take solace knowing that he’ll let people know he’s out there.

Which got me to thinking right away who my No.1 candidate for Tinman is:

Have you ever seen a more overpaid Tinman?

Only Glen Sather knows why he paid so much for Wade Redden. Just remember Ranger fans who I’ll be sharing blue seats with. While Marek “Big Bird” Malik isn’t around anymore to boo, we’ll have an even bigger target on the blueline for the next six years. Ugh.
