I've been keeping my body in a state of nutritional ketosis since spring. ( My athletic performance is actually enhanced, etc). The inuit are often cited in studies of living in a state of nutritional ketosis due to their reliance on seal meat and fish (no sourcess for carbohydrates until recent times).

So I googled Tootoo diet and this is what i found. Good little read.

Read about Jim Thorpe first, or just scroll down to Tootoo.

His Inuit name is Kudluk, which translates as “thunder.”

He has a scar on his hand from a harpoon accident he had while seal hunting

His grandmother, Jenny Tootoo, was born in an igloo.

His culture and his pride in his people were always paramount to him, if it weren't for his douchey attitude on ice I would probably have liked him from when he was with the Milwaukee Admirals seeing him 6 times a year playing against the Griffins. Now I can see he was an agitator, and hope that he endears himself to us, as long as we don't hear those damn Train Whistles....

Tootoo was awesome when he played for the Brandon Wheat Kings. Often drove there from Winnipeg with my buddy to see them play. He's always been a wrecking ball and he put up good numbers in the WHL too. You'll come around. Tootoo's good s***.

Wings need some Ryan Pulock in the 1st round, a goal scorer in the 2nd round and rounds 3-7 all guys 6'4 or bigger. Please sign Dekeyser to play with Smith. <--Dekeyser signed, Paired next year. Mark your calendars.

Tootoo needs a partner in crime that plays like him on the other side of Helm. Oh hey, we have Mitchell Callahan. Problem solved.

Cleary.... :pokey:

I am going to be honest with all of you. I think as the season progresses I really think were going to like this guy. He seems like a decent hockey player and has the grit we need. While yes he has been a d-bag in the past I am sure we have all been like that at one time or another.

In 10 years you'll be saying "I miss Draper, Maltby, Kocur, McCarty, Tootoo, and Downey" among others

Yeah Majsheppard is an idiot who knows nothing about hockey. If a person is capable of even thinking of dropping the gloves or playing a little rough then they are a horrible player that everyone should hate, even if they produce more then pretty much all of our current bottom 6 players...

It has become painfully obvious that he just hates players that fight. He has, on several occasions, ignored the fact that Tootoo outscored most of our bottom 6 players last year. He thinks fighting is yucky, that is all.

Good read... A lot of fans will miss him in Nashville, but it was his time to move on. Glad he's in a good situation in Detroit. I know a lot of you don't like the guy, but remember his job was to make you dispise him on the ice. Pretty damn good at it don't ya think? I would encourage everyone to meet the guy as im sure he will make himself readily available at community events, charities, etc...a really good guy

As for the whistles, yeah they are annoying, but they were sold in Nashville to benefit his charity. I've bought several but never took them to the games. If they sell them at the joe, then buy one.. You don't have to use it.

All that being said, he's wearing red now and I can't wait for the season opener....
