aka Tango or Big Dog

Let’s just get this out in the air immediately, if you hate Tango, I hate you. He gets SO much crap from fans and it’s totally undeserved. He works hard and deserves tons of support. 

Most of you know him already, he’s played quite a bit in Pittsburgh. He’s in his 3rd season with WBS. He might not always put up the biggest numbers, but he’s great in front of the net and in the nitty gritty kind of situations. He’s under-appreciated a lot like I said before, and I think that’s because he performs better with linemates he’s comfortable with. When he’s on a line with guys he’s comfortable with, he’s outright awesome. On top of being a great hockey player, Tango is also and amazing person. He’s the founder of Tango trivia, and is quite hilarious on twitter. He has the most adorable dogs ever, and enjoys embarrassing people with his high Temple Run scores. He likes to play Angry Birds before heading to Olive Garden or “pregame OG” as he likes to call it. He’s got a great sense of humour, which is evident from his twitter. When being interviews by kids, he likes mouthing his name. He really likes Kenny Chesney too.

I think it’s safe to say McKenna is his #1 fan, and she does a great job with his appreciation blog as well! Check it out here.
