Almost six years ago, Chemmy found pictures of [a frankly stunning photo shoot which featured Mikhail Grabovski contemplating how best to dissect a pineapple](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/look-at-this-handsome-fell/). Being who we are, the pineapple/knife theme became [a far-reaching joke that many didn't quite understand](https://www.google.ca/search?q=grabovski+pineapple&oq=Grabovski+pineappes&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l2.6416j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es%5Fsm=93&ie=UTF-8&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). Yesterday we posted a link to an "Ask Grabovski" questionaire being put on by the IIHF [and today they posted ](http://www.iihfworlds2014.com/en/news/grabovski-talks-to-fans?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)Grabovski's answers. Before you even ask, yes he responds to the pineapple question.

Here are some of the highlights:

**Why do you hate pineapples?**  
**(Heather Ferguson, Torono, Canada)**

Pineapples? Ah, it's about that silly photo on the internet! This happened in Moscow. A journalist came to me to do an interview and I thought I'd give her an interesting picture. So, that's how it became popular in the web. But I honestly don't have anything against pineapples.

**Do you have bad feelings towards the Leafs about bailing out your contract?**   
**(Yuri Satsukevich, Toronto)**

No, I only have positive memories, only the good.

> **Which NHL players do you talk to the most?**  
> **(Nikita Glinski)**
> 
> With Nikolai Kulyomin, more than others. Also, with [Jason Ward](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55058/jason-ward?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), who is from Toronto. And, of course, with the Russian ([Capitals](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/washington-capitals?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)) Orlov and Ovechkin.

**After the buyout it seems as people always undervalue what you can bring to a team. Do you use this as motivation to be better? Or do you treat it as just another obstacle a hockey player has to deal with?**   
**(Joshua Amorim, Toronto, Canada)**

I am using it as motivation and in every game I am trying to prove that those who believe in me, do so for a reason.
