The rise of Tony X, newest hockey fan

Post by FLPensFan »

Anybody see this story about the random guy that starts watching hockey, makes some funny comments, and gets a few responses from Luongo, and Tarasenko recommending he buy his jersey....gains like 60K in followers in just a few days.

Yeah, some of the things this guy says is mint. It was hilarious. Wait until he discovers that there are brothers that play the game too. He's gonna lose it again...

So, it turns out that the guy apparently didn't care as much as the media made it look like. He deleted his twitter, and someone already hijacked the username he had. Have heard rumors that he had to be convinced by friends to go on Good Morning America.

But, alas......his tweets were still funny. I liked the saran-wrapping fish to your body to sneak into the game comment, as well as Luongo telling him not to Google SCF 2011.
