Hockey Player

The Resume

    (May 19, 1981- )
    Born in Petrolia, Ontario, Canada
    Drafted 165th overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft
    Goaltender for the Chicago Blackhawks (2002-06), Nashville Predators (2006), Philadelphia Flyers (2006-07, 2009-13), Carolina Hurricanes (2007-09) and the Columbus Blue Jackets (2013)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was often considered the third-string goalie on most teams he was associated with.
    Despite being a member of the Montreal Canadiens as a backup for 35 games, his name is not associated with the franchise as he did not play a single game with the team.
    He was deemed expendable by the Hurricanes, after the team signed Manny Legace.
    He was the fourth goalie used by the Philadelphia Flyers during the 2009-10 NHL season.
    He was considered a journeyman player in the minor leagues.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He salvaged the Flyers 2009-10 season after being claimed off waivers from the Hurricanes.
    He was the Philadelphia Flyers starting goaltender at the 2010 Winter Classic.
    He backstopped the Flyers to an improbable comeback against the Boston Bruins, after replacing Brian Boucher, who went down with a season ending injury.
    He had a two-game shutout streak against the Montreal Canadiens in the East Final (2010).
    He backstopped the Flyers to the franchise's first Stanley Cup Finals appearance in 13 years.
