Coyotes’ Bissonnette worried phone has fallen into wrong hands
VANCOUVER — Phoenix Coyotes winger Paul Bissonnette is on the hunt. And no, it’s not for his game.
Bissonnette — who will likely be a healthy scratch for the 12th time in 20 games this season when the Coyotes play the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena on Sunday — lost his BlackBerry on Friday.
Known in the Twitter-verse as BizNasty2point0, Bissonnette contends his smartphone was in fact stolen while on a shopping trip to Holt Renfrew prior to Phoenix’s game against the Edmonton Oilers.
“I put it down for a second and it was gone,” said the six-foot-three, 225-pounder, who was the last one off the ice at the Coyotes’ optional pre-game skate. “I’m not saying the munson is from Edmonton, but it happened in Edmonton and Karma’s going to speed-bag that donkey.”
For those unfamiliar with the term, munson originates from the movie King Pin and is slang for a born loser. It’s someone who should be given a wide berth.
“It’s not the phone I’m worried about, it’s all my contacts,” continued Bissonnette, a social media favourite of hockey fans around the globe. “I don’t have it locked or back-upped and there’s a lot of people in there . . . Brody Jenner, Tom Green . . . all the guys I’ve ever played with.
“Shane Doan, Ed Jovanovski, Sidney Crosby are probably going to be getting random calls for a while.”
Bissonnette discovered someone had his phone after a friend of his received a text from the device shortly after its disappearance. He immediately cancelled his service and reported the phone stolen.
“I’m rattled,” he said. “It’s been four days without it. Can I put a bounty on someone’s head for a phone?”
Before you go calling the league office, he was joking. More to the point, he’s offering a reward for the return of his BlackBerry — even the SIM card would suffice. The guilty party can contact him through his Twitter account, with no questions asked.
Bissonnette is easily the most followed NHL player on Twitter. He had 20,488 followers as of Sunday afternoon, a total that continues to grow daily thanks to his often humourous and self-deprecating messages on everything from hockey to girls to baby wipes — don’t ask.
The affable 25-year-old native of Welland, Ont., has hopes of someday surpassing Canada’s other “greatest” export.
“I want to pass Justin Bieber — Bieber-Fever, baby — he’s got like 4 million,” he said, tongue firmly planted in his cheek. “I’ve got some work to do, but we’re going to get that going.”
Teammates looked on in mock indignation as the league’s most famous plug — a word he uses to describe himself often in his tweets— made his final plea for the safe return of his phone.
“That’s the thing, I’ve got to keep talking about it, maybe the guy will be like ‘OK, I’ll send it back,’ ” reasoned Bissonnette.
