The Tampa third jerseys are pretty much ho-rendous. But he still looks great in it. It looks like they tossed him the medal at the last second. “Yes, you HAVE to wear the medal, you have to prove that some person affiliated with this organization has won something.” He was wearing 34 too. I don’t want to think about this being his last season in a Chiefs sweater. Does he really have to go to the team that is geographically furthest from me? I mean come onnnnnnnn.
I feel your pain. I don’t like him in that circus. It’s saddening, so they need to trade him. To Toronto. Now. Maybe he can bring Stevie Stamkos with him.

Oh he is a pretty one indeed.
And yes, I’m torn with my cuzzie going there as well. But maybe Toka and my cuzzie can restart the awesomeness in Tampa when they’re ready to. Then we can work on our tans…

You can always try to pick up the Lightning feed on the interwebs for Toka love. It’s a pain in the ass, but love knows no boundaries, right?

@bk; This is true…
He has to go a team so geographically far from me?

I think you get used to the geographical distance after awhile. It’s how I cope with my Summer Glau love – the off chance that city stand-in extraordinaire of Toronto will bring Summer along for a movie project one of these days. We lock eyes, and as we Leafs fans have been saying since 1967, the rest is history…
You just have to get someone to take many a picture when Toka comes to visit the Leafs, tout suite.

@bk: I might have to come see him. You know I’d wear my Tokarski Tampa jersey for the occasion.

Well, if you do come, I really hope you don’t wear their god awful “third” jersey. You might as well scrawl “Dolts” on the front. I rather doubt Toka’s name can even salvage that one, and I might even come back with a “LOLZ, wrap, your loser how kute girlz like hockkey!!!111 lolz Stay in the kitchen!!!11 lolz” post if I do see you wear it.

It’s not the third. Ewwwww. No it’s the regular black home.
And you say anything like that, I’ll cute you. Then smile sweetly.

Well, as long as you smile.
I’ll assume “cute you” is “cut you”, but just to cover all my bases, I’ll fashion a Sir Hugs-a-lot Bear wearing a jersey with Schokarski on the back – just in case.

Bk, epic spelling fail. ZOMG, Schennkarski? That’s be ahhhhmazing.

If only they would have asked about the faux hawk, you know? I’d love to here how he gets it to stay and everything, you know? So fucking cute.

Asking about the faux hawk would bring the commentator bitter memories of his own hair, so I think it was on purpose he didn’t ask. Toka’s lucky the faux hawk works for him though, since there are many dudes that don’t work. You need a certain type of hair to pull it off and you seem convinced Toka does, Lori. And I can’t say I disagree with you at all.
As for Schennkarski, I can live with that one. Tokaschenn sounds like a Japanese greeting or their word for “Godzilla type of hockey player”.

bk, just think. If the Leafs had Schenn in front of Toka, not only would we be the most attractive team defensively, but we’d never be scored on again. United, Schennkarski will be the most powerful defensive force in the NHL.
It’s that damn prairie boy politeness that made him refrain from saying “Tampa fucking sucks, I can’t believe I was drafted to this shitty circus of a team” You just know they were hating on the Bolts the entire lunch too.
