I stole Jonathan [Toews’] phone when he was at the bathroom and changed Brent Seabrook’s contact information to a girl that he was seeing the same name, so when he came back to the table I had Seabs’ phone and I was texting Toews from it, saying, ‘Hey this is so-and-so, we need to talk, I think I might be pregnant.’

He didn’t give it away like something bad was happening, but you could tell, his mouth opened pretty wide and he slid away from the table and his face went white. It turned out to be a pretty good one.
