Hockey Player

The Resume

    (November 3, 1982- )
    Born in Kempele, Finland
    Drafted 258th overall by the Nashville Predators in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft
    Goaltender for the Nashville Predators
    Also played for Oulun Kärpät (2000-03) and HC Dinamo Minsk (2012-13 lockout)

Why he might be annoying:

    Despite standing on his head for most of the Predators run to the 2017 Stanley Cup Finals, he flamed out in the final games when it mattered most.
    He dislocated one of his shoulders in a bar fight, which cost him the first four months of the 2006-07 season.
    He broke off his engagement with Kirsi Lehtosaari, who is best known for being the winner of 'The Voice of Finland.'
    Some hockey pundits felt he didn't get enough recognition during his prime years as a result of playing in Nashville.
    He missed a good portion of the 2013-14 season after he got a hip arthroscopy, which became infected.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was the second rookie goaltender in the history of the Predators franchise to record a shutout (2008).
    He guided the Predators to the team's first ever playoff series victory (2011).
    He broke Tomas Vokoun's team record for consecutive victories in a row.
    As of 2018, he holds many of the Predators franchise records in the goaltending category.
    He uses size to his advantage, and unlike most goaltenders of his stature, he uses a smaller stick.
