LeftWinger 4,963 Report post Posted August 8, 2008 Did you see Tootoo pick it up? My guess is some Red Wing fan working at another airport "accidentally" put his luggage on a flight to Detroit. Tootoo is still waiting for it in Nashville. ...LOL! That would be great, but the routing on the tag was from Winnipeg to Minneapolis then stopping here in Detroit. So he is definately here for a reason, but I have yet to hear anything about it. If I had more time I would've gone in to meet him. Going back to the class thing, I know someone out there who would have dumped his bag empty all over the belt system and then went inside to meet him and watch as his jaw dropped when each piece of equipment came down the carousel indvidiually. That is like something you would see in a movie, but this guy would've have done it for sure, and not even lost a beat as Tootoo picked his crap up off the belt in front of him...

Rick 42 Report post Posted August 8, 2008 How does DOING YOUR JOB and NOT DOING ANYTHING SH1TTY OR ILLEGAL make you a saint and/or classy? More likely it makes you a borderline sociopath with possible criminal tendencies. Bet you couldn't wait to run back here and post how much of a hero and classy guy you are because you saw a hockey player's luggage and didn't F with it. I guess we know who the message board psychologist is Project much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I enjoyed the story. I also wonder what he is doing around here? Maybe he is doing something in WIndsor because I don't see any scenario where the WIngs would help train a little bastard like that.

2probert4 8 Report post Posted August 8, 2008 I was thinking that same exact thing when I read this earlier. Really couldn't figure out why he would take the time to even type that part out. I Took it as a wisecrack referring to all the crap that the Wing fans run into when going to Nashville for a game. Some people take it as an opportunity to act like an idiot. I'll leave it at that.

Doggy 130 Report post Posted August 8, 2008 I'm surprised Tootoo has the balls to put his name on his bags. I wouldn't if I were him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DetroitWhat 4 Report post Posted August 9, 2008 Tootoo is in town for Legwand's wedding (he lives around my area and some of my buddies saw some of the preds earlier). Not too sure why he would be bringing his gear though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

datsyukonethree 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2008 I would have been really tempted to poop in it, but that's probably not worth losing your job over. If I had any Wings gear on I would have donated it to his bag and bought a replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted August 9, 2008 I might have done something similar. Nothing destructive, just place some sort of Red Wings item on the bag or attach it to it. Friendly little prank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshy207 156 Report post Posted August 9, 2008 Legwand is from Detroit, maybe he and Tootoo are skating somewhere around here? Samsonov used to hang out and train in Detroit for the summer, but that's because his wife is from here. He met her when he played for the Vipers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LivingtheDream Report post Posted August 12, 2008 I would have been really tempted to poop in it, but that's probably not worth losing your job over. If I had any Wings gear on I would have donated it to his bag and bought a replacement. Why not? It's not like there aren't plenty of jobs in Detroit. With all the opportunities present for skilled and unskilled workers to work in new forms of energy, transportation, more fuel efficient cars... oh wait, I was thinking of Tokyo, or anywhere but Detroit. Given this, if you see a Ford or GM execs luggage, then by all means, take a wet runny peanut and corn laden poop in it. Those are the guys who screwed over this town big time. No, the poster is right. Off the ice there is a code. As scummy as Tootoo can be, you gotta be better. Hats off to you for taking the high road and if you wanted to tell us about it, why not.
