Hemsky was a marvel in how he would just keep coming back, bracing for the inevitable smash into the boards. Reggie was a big guy and so was Ales. That's a lot of meat at that speed crashing into the meat grinder.



I still think Reggie was the only guy to successfully fight Chara to a draw. What amazing hockey that was. He made the fleury trade so much more bearable.



Thanks for the share OP
