How does a hockey player do that? You can't name anyone that cowardly.
Its surreal isnt it? I couldnt name one player that would do that.

Get in there. It doesnt matter if you get your ass kicked, it just means that your teammates ass is being kicked just that much less.

But nope. Time to sit my ass on the bench and get Gatorade.

If it was a star player who knew his coach would be furious if he was assessed a penalty thats one thing, but Tom's a bubble AHL'er.

Get in there.

Ill give him that he is persistent . Would have thought he was the type of player, if things didn't go his way, would have gone back to Europe a long time ago.

I kinda like how he's still trying to make it in the NHL, because he keeps failing over and over again.

Hey now, Bubba Eriksson played over 500 games in the NHL.

Doesn't look like Tom will get to 100...

Always love the annual Tom update. Can't wait to see where he is 10 years from now.

With the 2 second round picks we got for him, we ended up with Shinkaruk (via Granlund), and Wortherspoon. Best thing he ever did for an NHL club was refusing to sign with the Flames.

And don't forget Horak, who we parlayed into two and a half seasons of Laddy Smid's walking corpse.

Horak played 82 games for the Flames. Granlund played 86. Wotherspoon has played 30 so far. Smid played 109 and Shinkaruk has played 14 so far.


Tom has played 93 total NHL games, and the guy the Rangers picked with the 5th round pick they got in the trade played 5 AHL games and never got an NHL contract.


All in all, a pretty solid deal for Feaster.

I love that he shoots the kid in the back, then deliberately sneaks around the back of the mom to shoot her in the back too. Subtle things like that made SCTV far ahead of its time...
