Best offensive defenseman who’s ever played. I can’t even watch hockey now after being spoiled by the oilers growing up.

    303abuser my all time fav player and the reason I started to play. Have played D my entire life since age 6 because of PC.

        Cancelling the footy is well out of order.
        Worse than Andrew grooming minors and allowing a black sepo into the royal family. I’m genuinely gutted.

          zackster Nice, he’s the only player I ever got an autograph from when I was maybe 9 or 10.

            Surely if sporting events are cancelled then it should be part of a proper mourning where everything is cancelled and closed. Not just cancel some events but the rest of the country carries on.

            If it’s not a national mourning do a minutes silence ffs.

            The queen was amazing and it’s very sad she has passed, but fuck me im not looking forward to the the media for the next week. Go on BBC sport and it’s all about her!

              erik I heard that in the car earlier, and thought the same. I’m no abolitionist, but I’m also not one of the crazy royalists.

              The nerve of someone to suggest that the death of ‘a’ pensioner, with her family around her was somehow more important than measures to protect the lives of THOUSANDS of pensioners through the winter kinda stuck in my craw…

                We should set up a gofund me for the family, do the right thing

                We’ve only retired Lemieux and Briere’s numbers. Sid will be next, but Jagr and Coffey should definitely be considered

                Jagr for sure. I maintain Lemieux would’ve been the best all around player ever if he’d been healthy.

                zackster Maybe, I honestly haven’t paid a ton of attention to the nhl since the ‘94 strike. Watched the 2006 run and most of this years playoff games (just the oilers), but if I never saw another game, I probably wouldn’t care. Mostly just a childhood nostalgia thing at this point.

                  The body is still warm and this thread has turned into an ice-hockey one. 😅

                    Thanks for that.

                    I’m reading this thinking what fucking no-mark ‘sport’ are these herberts on about

                        Pretty sure everything will be shut down.

                        Will let you know for sure once TalkSport have briefed natch

                          The dirty ungrateful seppos on here had better start showing some respect.

                          Now is not the time, lads.

                            Going to have to take a rain-check given recent events.

                            Maybe next year?

                              I am going to kick zacko’s fuck in when he’s over for the next easter bedrock event…

                                Mad_Cyril It’s just hockey, the “ice” is implied. If played on a different surface, it’ll be referred to as road hockey or floor hockey, for example. Field hockey doesn’t count because it’s only played by women.

                                    The meltdown on social media platforms is a sight to behold.

                                    Paedo protectors or ‘royalists’ as they are otherwise known vs the sick and tired of the tax dodging Germanic Greeks.

                                    Ok she was a nice old lady who did a lot of nice things, so was Jimmy saviles mum I imagine.

                                      Cankles-McJeggings Ok she was a nice old lady who did a lot of nice things, so was Jimmy saviles mum I imagine.

                                      Sums up what I said to my wife this afternoon. An artifact of colonialism that serves no practical purpose except to waste money.

                                        I don’t really use social media but this morning I posted similar to what I just said and it really did not go down well 😆

                                        Yeah some people seem to be a bit sensitive. All this is beyond me.

                                        Yeh most unsavoury. I didn’t really care for her before the Andrew debacle, just thought she was fairly innocuous and would fade away quietly one day bothering nobody inparticular. But the protecting of the prince of pedo’s finished it.

                                        And that’s it for me, no different from the pope. If you’re going to cover up for pedos, then fuck off.
