#Top3 favourite #NHL #icehockey players that you've SEEN play.
@IoanSaid Eric Lindros, Jeremy Roenick, Chris Chelios
I can't add Gretzky to that as the thoughtless git got injured the day before I saw Rangers at MSG in his last season
@IoanSaid Awesome. Where did you used to play?
Used to play with (and run) a large rec hockey team at Ally Pally in London. We had Jimmy Paek (he was a mate of one of our team) of the Penguins show up to take a training session once whilst he was playing a season in the UK. About 20 mins in we had to remind him that we weren't NHL players and he might want to ease the pace of the drills off a bit before we all died
@gethin76 I played all the time...until I came here!
We would walk to our outdoor ice skating rink when kids. (every town had one....at least..)
I went to a private school known for their hockey team (if not their grades )
And I also went to a boarding school with an arena so played 2-3 times a week for the team there... and played into adulthood as a "Foreigner" (non-company member) for the "Imperial Tobacco" Team
@gethin76 We do have a full size goal and live in a cul de sack so we play on the street a lot.
@IoanSaid Ah sorry I didn't notice from your bio that you're Quebecois. Nuff said
@gethin76 I just had a look at the 1993 all star game (I was there! )
and it reminded me of GOALKEEPERS!
I love #PatrickRoy (and am well pleased my house is number 33) as well as #EddieBelfour #GrantFuhr #RonHextall ... all nutters.
#MartinBrodeur was an outlier in the goalie community as he comes across as so normal!
