Frisco: Så har vi då äntligen fått svar på den frågan som gjort att halva Sveriges befolkning legat sömnlös om nätterna: Varför i all världen har Anson Carter sån konstig frisyr?

"When I was in Boston, Joe Thornton and Jason Allison bet me $1,000 that I wouldn't grow an afro. They didn't think I would do it because I always shaved my head bald in honor of Michael Jordan. So I did it. In fact, those guys still haven't paid me [laughs].

I had a pretty good sized 'fro, I was about to shave it off when my sister told me to start twisting my hair and see what happens. So I took her advice. The next game we played was against Buffalo, and when I walked into the rink with dreadlocks, our coach Pat Burns looked at me like, "What the hell are you doing?" So Burnsie thought it would be funny to start the game with my line, so I had to be out on the blue line with my helmet off during the national anthem.

I look over during the anthem and Burns is laughing at me, because he knows everyone in the arena is looking at me. There was no way I was going to start that game if it wasn't for the dreadlocks. Then, right after the opening faceoff, Mike Peca skates over to me and says "What are you doing with your hair?" Guys didn't understand it at first, but it has become its own thing now."
