The Great Hockey Debate

**bigdidz** · January 31st, 2008

No, no, no!!! Hockey is all about Europe!! East Europe! Roy, Lemieux are all great players but are not great athletes. The beauty of hockey is not in a arena but out-side; on a ice-rink.

All the players you listed out wouldn't be the kind of role models I'd like my children to have.

My top 3 are : Stastny brothers, Vladislav Tretiak and (to assume my nationalism) Maurice Richard.

P.-S.: Hockey is only on ice. If you play a sport that you call hockey on grass, find yourself an other name!

Looks like I'm gonna be the lone Blues supporter here. I am beginning to appreciate what Boston went through all those years...........

I want my all star Avalanche back! It was always a good time seeing both Forsberg and Roy on the ice together. I'll never forgot in '01 watching Sakic hand the Cup over to Bourgue.

i set myself up

in all honesty as much as I despised the Avs during that time it was great to have such a fresh rivalry, and both teams had their fair share of success

Right back at ya. I have nothing but respect for the Red Wings. I've been to a few Avs vs Red Wings games, and they were some of the best I've ever seen.
