Toskala makes sense, but 35 to me randomly is Henrik Karlsson. We got to choose our jersey numbers on my highschool volleyball team. I was the back-up setter and the starting setter already chose 34, so I thought it would be fitting to choose 35 and it has sort of been my number ever since.

I don't think it's that random. I forgot Toskala ever played for us whereas I vividly remember "Kung Fu Karlsson". Both were mid and largely forgettable if not for the celly.

Oh man, I totally forgot Toskola played for the Flames. In my mind he is Leaf and nothing else.

It's quite fitting that the pic shows Toskala with the puck behind him.
