Much like the boy named Sue, if you grow up with the last name "Tootoo" you're bound to grow up tough. You're either going to end apartheid or become a hockey enforcer and wreck people's backs and faces, like the Predators' Jordin Tootoo here:
Not only does Mike Modano get his back realigned for hanging with Willa Ford, but Stephane Robidas gets a haymaker and an icy nap for trying to help out the Stars' star. Tootoo's got some quick reflexes and good instincts. He's a junkyard scrapper. He really keeps his head on a swivel, and that's what you gotta do when you find yourself in a vicious cock fight.
(Thanks to hunky reader Jeff for the tip.)


I hope Modano gets his ass fined for swinging a stick like that. Lighten up, horseface. You’re not Dwayne Wade, y’know…
Modano won’t get fined, under the American-superstars-are-untouchable clause. Bettman will gladly suspend Tootoo for protecting himself. Bettman would also gladly give Roger Goddell a reach around.
Best hockey violence in a while. Kind of like getting a Red Bull in the office. Now to go find someone smaller to check over a desk…
Jordin Tootoo’s an indian so that pretty much sums up why he’s such an effective fighter. All those years spent on the reservation huffing gas and punching bears and caribous would toughen anyone up.
Tootoo’s Native, Chris Simon is Native, coincidence? Next week it will be Cheechoo using his stick to tomohawk someone.
Cheechoo grew up in a town called Moose Factory. So if you ever need to know where to go to build your own moose, well, now you know – and knowing is half the battle …
Oh and at least Toots is better than that ape, Ruutu – a class act who deserves to be checked by a flatbed truck for the amount of cheapshots he doles out.
Pretty sure refs that break up a fair fight should be shot.
Cheechoo, Tootoo, Ruutu..Somehow, someway, these guys need to be on the same line during a game.
hey withleather.com, thanks for the mad props again ! i didn’t know i was hunky… and i think if tootoo gets suspended, so should modano… he almost clubbed tootoo down like a baby seal… whether it be the cheechoo train or the tootoo train, the inuits and natives of canada are a force to be reckoned with…
sharks all the way to the cup final ! peaaaaaaaaaace !
Robidas’s a bitch. You try to cheapshot somebody like that, and you deserved to get your ass knocked out. Oh yeah, and the NHL in all its wisdom suspended Tootoo for 5 games because of this. Would you suspend Robidas if Tootoo hadn’t laid him out an he had gotten away with that cheap shot?
I wonder if he got the number 22 by coincidence
