Somebody snitched, but a good reporter never reveals his source.
On Aug. 3, Matt Kassian co-hosted the "Jason Gregor Show" on the Team 1260 in Kassian's hometown of Edmonton, Alberta. Somebody -- and Gregor wouldn't confess who, despite Kassian's effort -- leaked to the talk show host that the brawling hockey player was an actor in high school.
In fact, the up-and-down Wild bruiser performed in "The Sound of Music."
You know what happened next. On the air, Gregor dropped his little nugget of knowledge, then asked a horrified Kassian to sing a song from the classic musical.
So after prodding by Gregor and some "freaking out," Kassian sang a snippet of his grandmother's favorite song, "Edelweiss."
"I'm trying to bury this," Kassian said of the evidence floating around the Internet.
The ironic thing is Kassian couldn't care less that smack-talking opponents who want to goad him into fights will now know he might have aspired to a career on Broadway.
"Who cares about them?" the always-affable Kassian laughed. "It's my friends and family that I never hear the end of it from. I mean, it was Grade 10 that I was in the show, and literally you cannot go more than 15 minutes with my family without somebody bringing it up."
