The Pokecheck Professor

Apparently Peter Puck might be coming back. Which is good, because I love cheesy cartoons. He's a legend- he's even on the Hockey Hall of Fame website!

How can you not love this guy:

""Some of the letters people sent me were kind of cute," said [commentator Brian] McFarlane. "I used to keep the best letters, because kids would send in a drawing of Peter Puck or make a snowman out of Peter Puck, take a picture of it and send it in. I can remember letters like, 'Dear Peter, does it hurt when they hit you on your bottom?' He even got marriage proposals and things of that nature.""

That article was from 2003, so it looks like his comeback didn't really work out for him.

Great find though! I like how the giant hockey player man turns purple from embarrassment at his penalty.

Actually, Chanuck just heard on XM Home Ice on Friday that Peter Puck will indeed be making a comeback- when, who knows. But it's still in the works.

Sounds like that Guns and Roses comeback that has been still in the works for the last ten years.
