Colin Greening, with three goals in three games, has been
the Senators’ best forward in their second-round series with Pittsburgh. His
toughness was also on full display last night, as he scored the game winning
goal in double-overtime with blood and chunks of fiberglass falling out of his
cheek like balls in a pachinko machine.
But how much do you really know about the toughness of
playoff hero Colin Greening? Let’s find out! And remember, these are all REAL
facts – none of that Chuck Norris BS!
- Colin Greening is from Newfoundland – Canada’s toughest province!
- The Senators drafted him in the 7th round of the 2005 draft – the toughest round!
- He played NCAA hockey for four years at Cornell – the Ivy League’s toughest school!
- He was a member of the Calder Cup-winning 2010-11 Binghamton Senators, featuring Robin Lehner, the world’s toughest goaltender!
- After they won he did this in front of a bunch of people! He don’t care!
- He lost the fastest skater competition at the 2012 All-Star Game to Carl Hagelin, but didn’t let it get him down! Resilient!
- He is widely regarded as the smartest guy in the Senators dressing room – being so tough and so smart, that’s tough (as in difficult)!
- He’s been practicing last night's double-OT winner for over four years! How do you keep up that kind of commitment? Toughness!
Here’s to you, Colin Greening. You’ll never have to buy a
drink in this town again.
