The Dallas Stars have already provided us with some great player Twitter chats this season, from John Klingberg to kick things off to the very entertaining Jason Demers session just a few weeks ago.
With things still going well in hockey-land, the team announced on Wednesday it was time for another edition of the chat. This time, it was Antoine Roussel taking the great throne of Dr Pepper at the Frisco StarCenter.

He got the session started out on a seasonal note with the best holiday movie:
there is no doubt about that one the Elf #dontEatYellowSnow https://t.co/H9Vd8IdcII

And named the team’s resident festive soul as well as Grinch, which will surely get him pranked sometime in the near future:

We learned what he was thinking when he took this amazing picture from last season:
Rap Mood! #realMeow https://t.co/Maa9zE2PrY

And the full name of his awesome cat:
my cat name is Django “Minou” Roussel mainly call him by his middle name.but for your info the D is silent #realMeow https://t.co/fjetacCU7H

That may help explain what he thinks he’d be doing if he didn’t play hockey:
a Veterinarian with a specialization in cats #DoctorIsIn #HowsYourCat #DrDoolittle https://t.co/a8YbTdPV6d

One of my favorite parts of these live chats are the running jokes that have developed. For instance, the need for certain players on the screen to always have sunscreen:
i would take @johnklingberg because he always has sunscreen. #GhostOfGothenberg https://t.co/CH1H1oODL1

Or the fact that there is indeed a default answer for every question that asks to name a player:

I might pay someone good money to get this on video:
i have seen kari do the moonwalk once…. #ThrillerKiller #realMeow https://t.co/hWeiRvth1y

His teammates even turned to him to answer what apparently has been a burning question:
Every chef has a role in the kitchen Mr Benn, @gollygoose33 will make the meals, @jasondemers5 will mop the floor https://t.co/nrtVkLIyK7

Speaking of things that need video evidence:
it’s not @CodyEakin50, he has the voice of an angel. Ask him to sing 4 you sometime #heresToTheEakinWeekend #rapper https://t.co/9S0rFhRxdR

He even sung Happy Birthday in French for someone’s wife.

Hockey (and or veterinary medicine) rather than professional singer was probably a good career choice.
There’s so much more where those came from, including a variety of fan cat pictures with his commentary. You can see the whole timeline at @DallasStars.
