Brian Cazenuve, "Streaking Ducks, sinking Sens and other notes", 'Inside Hockey', November 8, 2006. http://sportsillustrated. cnn. com/2006/writers/brian_cazeneuve/11/08/news. notes. color/index. html The joker stories from the team are not limited to this; in fact there are numerous other stories that have surfaced around the team. Kostopoulos was featured on a January 2007 episode of MADtv with several of his teammates, including Sean Avery. Kostopoulos's nickname during his tenure for the London Knights was "Tommy Non-stopoulos" due to his extraordinary on-ice work ethic. On January 22, 2008, he recorded a Gordie Howe hat trick in a 8-2 victory against the Boston Bruins. His fight victim was Shane Hnidy­. On February 11, 2008, Kostopoulos and teammate Ryan O'Byrne were arrested outside a Tampa, Florida nightclub following a purse-snatching incident. While O'Byrne was charged with theft, Kostopoulos was charged with resisting the officers. Both were released on bail shortly after.

On March 30, 2008, Kostopoulos was chosen to be the Grand Marshal of the Hellenic Community of Montreal/Montreal Greek community . On November 10, 2008, Kostopoulos was suspended for three games for a hit on Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Mike Van Ryn during the game between the teams on November 8. He was given a boarding major penalty and ejected from the game. Kostopoulos will also forfeit $33,000 in pay. Kostopoulos responded about the incident by saying," First and foremost, I sincerely regret the injuries suffered by Mike Van Ryn... this is an unfortunate turn of events. I was just trying to get in on the forecheck and get the puck. I didn't anticipate him turning and couldn't stop. I was trying to finish my check and obviously it did not end up well. I never intend on injuring another player. I feel bad. I hope he is going to be all right and resume playing as quickly as possible. ""NHL suspends Canadiens' Kostopoulos for hit on Van Ryn". The Sports Network. ca. http://www. tsn. ca/nhl/story/?id=255442&lid=headline&lpos=secStory_main. Retrieved 2008-11-10. NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell said in announcing the suspension that while Van Ryn wasn't in a defenseless position, his injuries--including a concussion--were significant enough to warrant suspending Kostopoulos.
