Anyhow I grew up with the Thornton's in St. Thomas, am very good friends with Alex Thornton but hung out with Joe a lot too, really funny and a great guy! I really hope he can bring the cup back to St.T one day. I went fishing with Aaron Gavey once down in Port Stanley, one of my co-workers at the times wife was his cousin. Nice guy, couldn't play hockey worth a crap though.

Uh... no. I fully believe the guy who said that Regehr was grouchy last year when he was struggling, but all the over-sensitive fans say Regehr is "rude" because he's not as talkative as Iginla or Lanny MacDonald. Look above at what people are defining rude, its not rude. Absence of smiles and hugs is not rude, being a non-tipper or insulting someone is rude.
I met Martin Gelinas once, said hi to him and he didn't say hi back. I don't consider that rude, if he had to smile and hug every single fan that says hi to him, he would never get anywhere. Now Theo Fleury smoking in a restaurant and when being told to stop, saying "Do you know who I am?" - now that is rude.
