2) Pinli isn't exactly a star player at the moment so I don't think he concerns himself too much with being recognized. Granted him being 5 foot nothing makes him noticable in public anyway-- he can't really blend in. So anyone who is a hockey fan will probably see him and then have a good chance of recognizing him. He has made a habit since winning the cup of carrying a pen with him just in case, but to be honest it hasn't been a problem yet. Everyone has been really respectful and have only taken a minute of his time. Usually he signs a T-shirt or a notebook, takes a picture where they get to hold him over their head like the 4 star cup, and then he's on his merry way. He's starting to get a little bit of hype in Seattle with his award nominations and victories in S75, so maybe things will be different when he eventually moves up to the big club? But for now it's no sweat, people should feel free to come say hi!
