IN THE BOX WITH TYSON NASH

 

What's the funniest thing you have ever seen in a game?
Probably a guy tripping on a penalty shot. I was playing in a minor league game at
Philly. I won't say who it was that tripped, but it had to have been pretty embarrassing.

Who are you most often told you resemble?
I don't know, but he has to be good looking.

What is the dumbest question you have been asked in an interview?
(laughing) What did you just ask me before this question?

CD on repeat?
The Tragically Hip, all of their stuff

What is the most embarrassing CD in your collection?
Probably Bryan Adams. I don't listen to it anymore, but I do own it.

Who is the funniest player you've played with?
Marc Bergevin, but if you were to ask me who the funniest looking guy was,
I would have to say Shane Doan.

Guilty pleasure?
I like my ice cream, milk and cookies.
