    Bryan Trottier has some Johnny Cash tunes he’d like to play for you (VIDEO)

    On the Feb. 13 edition of "Marek vs. Wyshynski", musician/author/raconteur Dave Bidini mentioned that Hockey Hall of Famer Bryan Trottier took part in a rowdy night at a local watering hole during Hockey Day In Canada.

    How rowdy? Johnny Cash rowdy. Here's the New York Islanders great rocking out on The Man in Black's "Good-Hearted Woman" at Baba's in Charlottetown. (Ed. Note: OK, technically a Waylon Jennings song that Johnny's covered in the past.)

    Not bad. A little Willie Nelson-ish, actually.

    Trots doesn't just play the whiskey rooms, though. Here's Trottier at the Saskatoon Kinsman dinner earlier this year, performing "Folsom Prison Blues"

    Suggested songs for future Bryan Trottier country gigs:

    "I Walk the Red Line"
    "Don't Take Your Gunnarsson to Town"
    "Ring of Flyers"
    "Gillies' Gonna Cut You Down"
    "A Boy Named Suter"

    Now, we sit back and wait for Mike Bossy's death metal set in Moose Jaw later this week …

      Clark Gillies has a tune out called, "I broke Ed Hospodars face, and all i got was sent to Buffalo". Good to see Trots, as always, maybe he could do, "I've got 6 rings, 6 rings upon my fingers."

      I know one thingk if anybody hopped up on stage and tried to knock him off his feet, he wouldn't move. ;-)

      Man, I hope he plays Led Zeppelin's "Free Bird".

      He should come to our Open Mic, I'll buy him some cold ones.

      I liked him better as a hockey player. He's got balls to get up and do that in front of an audience though.

      He's pretty good for an amateur. "Good-Hearted Woman" is a Waylon Jennings song that Waylon does with Willie Nelson.

        Johnny, Waylon, Willie, Hank, if Wysh wasn't exposed to it on a Disney channel children's exlpoitation show he tends to get a little murky on musical references.

      Gosh! I am embarrassed for him.

        that is a good song....oh let me guess, everyone in the world has to be just like you and like and dislike everyone you do to be normal, right?
