Yup, one of my favourite players.

Mac T playing pretty well, along with Messier.

Yeah and where's Ilya Kovalchuk?

Teemu looks like he can still play right up there with Jagr. What happens if it is a tie game at the end of the 3rd in the alumni?

[White Out 403]

Could the game have ended any better?

[dash_pinched]

Selanne should have tossed the glove in the air and shot it with his stick.

Kind of wanted to see the potential of Gretzky in the shootout as apparently that's where the game was headed in the event of a tie

He's become a gigantic fatass, so that much has changed.

I didn't even know this game was on until I came across it by accident. The set up looks nice and it looked like a great day in Winnipeg.

I watched a few minutes of this game and just the hockey sense and some of the passes of some of these great players is just off the charts. There were a few times #99 made some filthy passes and it was interesting watching some of the other guys.

All in all it looked like a great event for the locals!

Any good games right now? I need something to pass the time until the Flames

I can longer watch Iggy play like crap in the twilight of his career

Leafs and Hawks is fun.

Or Baseball

Yeah those Jets jerseys are nice but gave me nightmares to one of the first games I vividly remember watching on tv: a 10-1 thrashing of the Flames by the Jets (sometime in the mid to late 80's.) Maybe I'm remembering wrong but they always seemed to give the Flames plenty of trouble.

Jim Kyte in the lineup for the Jets - No Dave Brown for the Oilers? He absolutely dismantled Kyte in the '91 Playoffs

I met Tikkanen at a bar in Winnipeg back in 1994 after a Blues-Jets game. I've never seen a guy casually drink as many beer as fast as he did. Plowed back 10 in about 40 minutes. 2 chugs per beer, no big deal. Legendary!
