Oh yeah, I forgot about this. LOL! Joey Kocur subbed for some friend on my brother's 40 and over league. My brother said even though Joey was just screwing around he was still leagues above any other player on the ice. He laughed a lot my brother said.
well yeah mac, but it's just cool cause i wasn't looking for him, i just happened to walk by a random person in a crowd of 7,000 people [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Yeah, the Red Team (that's the Wing's Team name) normally have some of their players play with the other teams to somewhat even the competition.
There was one team of cocky dorks who didn't want to take any Wings on their team... they ended up getting masacred. I think the guy keeping score missed half the Red's goals and stopped counting all toghether at 50. The final score was 50 to 2, but it was more like 100 to 2!
bahahaa... bet that was a quiet evening in the locker room.
so mac, do you go to these often?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Every now and again. I went last week, a couple weeks before then. Basically the nights that I can't sleep and am bored I run by for a while.Quote:

that's cool, maybe i'll give you a shout about going to one next time i get a friday off?
No need to shout at me, the rink is open to the public (apparantly not many of the public know what's going on since fans in the stands are very few)
Some of the NHLers have been skating at my rink. Most of them are Coyotes and ex Coyotes, but Ryan Smyth and Robert Lang were there this week.
Red Wings Suck!!
Go washington Capitals!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I once bumped into a group of St Louis Blues players including Pronger at a bar to see a band downtown. Pronger was HUGE! I couldnt believe how big the dude was. the others looked pretty much like I expected. Cambell knocked over his beer and looked like a dork being the only person in a suit there. the chicks in the place were immediately all over them
A few are playing for the LNAH up here. Donald Brashear plays for Qu?bec City , S?bastien Caron plays for Saguenay. It's a cool league. Good hockey and about 4 or 5 fights a game

we have a local mall here where the Blues player practice. you can go and watch (when there isnt a strike). my guess is some still show to skate to keep in shape.
also, my daughters fiance has met Kelly Chase (Chaser) a couple of times where he works and never even thought to get me an autograph of my name sake!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I was in shock the first time I saw most of the Red Wings out of their pads and off the ice. I figured these guys were huge, when in actuality they're not very big at all.Quote:

Well, i was at the MSU/UofM hockey game last night... me and lurker boarder CyberSpawn Ultimate were walking around the concourse since the game wasn't exactly going in our favor (Michigan won 4-2, and because there were like an extra 1000 screaming fans in the stands that night it was about 90 degrees where we were sitting).
well, as i'm walking away from the concession stand with my fresh bag of skittles, i look up at a guy passing me.
i think, "man he looks familiar... and check out those scars.... holy shit! that's Chris Chelios!"
made eye contact, he gave us a nod and kept moving.
somehow i thought he'd be taller.
sweet! too bad you didn't buy a box of chicklets instead...that would have been sweet to get signed! (random hockey reference)
Bio, if you want to see a BUNCH of Red Wings head down to the Onyx Ice Arena in Rochester Hills on Thursday's at Midnight. There's a pick up league that plays there that has gained NUMEROUS NHL players since the lock out.
Chelios, McCarty, Hatcher, Ciccerelli, Draper & Legacy play every week and the faces in the stands are even better (the Capitan was there 2 weeks ago)
Dave Lewis & Joey Kocur have a restaurant about 15 miles from where I live. I haven't been there yet.
I don't have a problem with a league where goons fight goons and don't visciously hit the good players
It's better than a league where players hit each other on the head with high sticks.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Please it only happened a couple of times, but those minor leagues are nothing but goon hockey and they fight everyone and even the fans, ive seen way worse in those leagues then i ever seen in the nhl!Quote:

Seen players from one goon league go into the stands arter fans and then cheased them out into the halls of the staidum.
Nhl has very very few things happen like Berrtuzzi did.

Come on Gd, I'm a hockey fan but the NHL has become a really boring league and a really violent one.
I'm not saying the minor leagues are better than the NHL, but at least the one I'm talking about hasn't had one bad incident on a star player all year long. Brashear fought only once so far, he's not there for that.

Those minor leagues are boring, and they would be even more boring if it wern't for NHL'ers in them right now.
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch.
I think you don't get me there, I wouldn't watch
Minor league over the NHL but where is the NHL right now?
I just hope it'll last long enough that at least 4 to 6 teams have to close. Even if it is my beloved penguins. The NHL has become a league where market that had great fans lost there teams and market that just don't care (or at least wouldn'tchoose hockey over baseball, football or basketball) have teams. It has become a league where average players have jobs because they can old the fort while the good players get there energy back. Where having two good lines is a luxury and where teams prefer to have two lines of stars, one of old timer and one of defensive players than letting play young guys like the NFL.
I don't like Minor league over the NHL but this the LHNA is a good replacement league while the NHL fat cats just can't reasons themselves.
I'll agree with you on that porthos, the NHL is not making it easy on us fans and thier sure in the hell not gaining anymore fans with all this lockout bs.
What happened to playing the game for the love of it.
