| New York Islanders News | | | Islanders goalie Al Montoya, the most popular hockey player on Wikipedia? (Puck Daddy)
Over on Puck Drunk Love, David Rogers found a list from the WikiProject Ice Hockey group that ranks the most popular hockey-centric pages . The top five, in views per day:
5. Mike Comrie (3,389)
4. Wayne Gretzky (3,481)
3. Mario Lemieux (3,600)
2. National Hockey League (3,670)
And at No. 1 …
1. Al Montoya (8,110)
What the what?
Seeing New York Islanders Al Montoya top a list of the most popular hockey pages on Wikipedia is seeing a Bobcat Goldthwaite comedy win the box office. It begs for investigation into what find of nefarious "Vote For Rory"-esque campaign may have influenced these tallies.
Writes Rogers:
Unfortunately, Montoya's popularity on Wikipedia likely has nothing to do with his skills on the ice. In reality, Montoya's popularity might be due to confusion with the character from "The Princess Bride", Inigo Montoya. Searchers hunting for the infamous Inigo Montoya quote ("Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.") likely stumbled on the goaltender for the Islanders by mistake.
Well, that's one theory.
