Stanley Cup of Chowder ran an Article on their website called “Ask a P-Bruin: Submit Your Questions For Bobby Robins”. This gave fans an opportunity to fire away, and ask anything.
I wanted to treat this as a writing experiment and actually answer the questions in depth, as well as provide creative content. In a lot of Q and A articles with pro athletes, it seems like stale answers and surface topics are the norm. You end up hearing a lot of, "we gave it our best shot out there" and "the team played hard tonight", or sometimes even the dreaded self-gloating and self-references in the third person. And in rare occasions, you hear self-gloating, self-references in the third person, and a third person self-gloating reference using a nickname. Very rare, but I've seen it done. "The Robinator brought it tonight. The Robinator brings it every night. Cuz that's what the Robinator does. He brings the pain. Cuz he's the Robinator."
