Tonight my CP brethren I have come to a realization. That realization is that I envision certain posters to be a certain style of hockey player. I've recently had this image shattered by Jiri, who admitted to being more Robert Reichel than Jordan Leopold.
Anyway, I hadn't really considered it, in a real conscious way, until tonight. I've been talking it over with the wife, and we've really worked through and identified what criteria I use in my own head. A great one she came up with is, if a guy is generally the first or second guy into a thread, as part of general personality of posts I've read, I'll identify him as a centre who is good on the draw. From there I apply other attributes.
SO, I thought a fun little game to play would be to describe what kind of player you think the above poster is/would be.
For those of us who play EASHL games together, we'll have a bit of a warped opinion.
Because of the nature of this, I don't want it to turn into a weird popularity game, so let's all try to take this lightheartedly and not harp too much on any one poster, good or bad.
So, either just go with the person above or someone else who specifically comes to mind.
When I played hockey years and years ago I always played it hard, hit hard and worked hard every shift. Good defensively, and chipped in with a few goals.
I started out D but transitioned into a forward.
If I could be like one player in the NHL it'd be Mike Richards.
Haha probably Fred Braithwaite. I'm a goalie, on the shorter side, and when I played organized hockey it was at a time when only a handful of goalies did the butterfly so it wasn't really taught to us, so I'm definitely more the stand-up type, my game's old school. I'm all about the pad stack.
I always think Guy Lafleur when I think of Habernac. I read in a post somewhere that you used to be a heavy smoker, and it kinda stuck in my head. You probably had an ashtray mounted on your bike.
Robyn Regher, except I scored more goals, was a better fighter and maybe slightly (but only slightyl) less dirty.
Just 6'2" 250lbs instead of 6'2" 210lbs. damn those big macs.
