And Trevor Linden Is Henry Cameron

This week, a reader asks John Buccigross:
    John,
    I never thought I would read a hockey piece with a reference to Howard Roark. If you were to cast the Fountainhead of the late '40s with contemporary actors, whom would you choose? What current hockey player would you have to play Mr. Roark?
To which Buccigross responds:
    Howard Roark was tall, strong and uncompromising. Actor: Ben Kingsley, minus 20 years and plus five inches (He's 5-foot-8). There are no tall, strong, young, uncompromising actors today. Hockey player: Todd Bertuzzi. He plays like he doesn't care if anyone likes him. I love that.
Interesting theory. What about Scott Mellanby?

Hair the color of an orange rind is so hard to come by, and it's awfully hard to see hair color under the helmets, wot?
