Anyways, I thought this could be a fun thread where we talk about little known facts.

Did you know that Crosby’s thighs are so thick he needs to get custom pants made so that it doesn’t look like he’s wearing JNCO Jeans from the knee down?

My grandpa was the same, his name was John but went by Jack. I’m not sure how common it is but I like it.

Thanks for sharing!

They won’t be a stud, they’ll be a bust and after they give up the minor league grind they’ll have to open a bicycle repair shop.

It will be called Michael Eichel-Reichel Cycle.

Ironically....were you aware that Michael Caine's name isnt actually Michael Caine?

Its Maurice Micklewhite Jr.

And no...I am not making that up.

In 1989 only 9 NHL franchises had won the cup. Calgary was just the 10th to lift it. Ott not existing at the time.

Too bad his parents didn't name him Michael.

Michael Eichel is just too good.
