At this point of the NHL season, we all know what the NHL’s best nickname is. In fact, the players do, too. It’s not Flower, nor is it Breadman. Nope. It’s ‘Tuna’ and it belongs to everyone’s favourite Montreal Canadien.

Tomas… TATAR!!!!

Tuna was recently voted the best nickname in the league and the Habs’ biggest new fan (who you'd least expect), wanted to show his love to his son max’s teammate. So, he and good friend Mark Wahlberg (yes that’s right, THE Mark Wahlberg) took to Instagram and made sure everyone got the message that Tommy has the best nickname in The Show.

That’s a pretty gnarly duo if you had to ask us!

If you don’t know about the whole TATARRRRR thing because you’ve been living under a rock over the past several months, it stems from a video that went viral of a dude literally just saying his name at Habs game. Sorry* not saying it, yelling it in a really weird way.

 

On a side note, we’ve gotta say, Max being boys with Walhberg might make him the coolest cat in the NHL. When you’re getting birthday shout outs from one of Hollywood’s biggest actors, you know you’ve made it.

 

TATAR!!!!!!!!
