5. Pekka Rinne

I started with the easiest and most obvious choice to make in Pekka Rinne. If I’m going to be trapped for an unknown amount of time in a house, I want it to be with a genuinely good person.

Seems pretty simple, right? Rinne comes off to me as one of the most genuine professional athletes in all of sports. And he just doesn’t come off that way, but he proves it in his actions.

I imagine Rinne being extremely positive and uplifting in a situation like this. Keep the nerves calm and look at everything in an optimistic fashion, which is what you need under stressful times.

Rinne is also such an easy player to root for, even if you’re not necessarily a fan of the Predators. Unless you’re just biased against everything associated with the Nashville Predators, odds are you like Rinne.
