Just a random thought. I hate Patrick Roy. I met him once at a sports memorabilia show about 6 years ago. I waited in line with my friend who wanted to get his autograph. I was so delighted to see him get mad and actually try to get me kicked out of the show for mispronouncing his name on purpose

his son is a douche bag.

I've heard that, but I've also heard that about a lot of sons/daughters of great atheletes who go on to play sports.

On another note, Bowflex, I used to love the Nordiques. I had no idea about Quebec or anything, I just loved the way the jersey's looked. I got a peter stasny sweater for x-mas one year, and then, they took off. I just couldn't support them anymore. Funny now that I think of it, I remember when Eric Lindros refused to play for the Nordiques when they drafted him. I hated him for that and always thought he was a douche. Well flash forward to 3 years ago and I am talking hockey with my in-laws. I almost put my foot in my mouth by telling about Lindros. Come to find out my in-laws are related to him

Haha you actually would've been fine as he in fact is a huge douchebag Lol. I love how hockey karma got him though. Avs got Forsberg out of that, won 2 cups, and Lindros became a hockey diva, hated by all of his teams, and never won the cup.

Forsberg was a diva too. Remember how he whined and whined after McCarty blew him up in the corner in the playoffs?

Haha When a dude gets his spleen removed due to the dirty hits he gets every game I tend to go with their opinion from time to time Lol.

Plus McCarty had no place in the NHL, and his band Grinder sucks too hahahaha

Its true. I guess in general it's just rich kids in general.

There's a lot of pro-athletes at my the place I work, and their kids come in and yea... pretty much all have DOUCHE written across their forehead. Funny because the athletes themselves are pretty nice people, their kids just grow up thinking they're entitled.

McCarty had no place in the NHL? Surely you jest. His place was to put pansy as$ players like Forsberg into the wall!! Besides, if it weren't for him, Yzerman would have gotten obliterated long ago If you think McCarty was bad, I'm sure you'd think my favorite player of all time was satan incarnate. Everyone knows that it was not Gretzky who was the greatest, it was Bob Probert

[bowflex 0]

Lol By the time McCarty made it to the NHL Yzerman was already way too well respected to get obliterated, just like Nik Lidstrom, Joe Sakic, etc...You never see those guys getting rocked because of their reputation and the respect players have for them, not for hacks like McCarty or McSorley back in the day Lol.

Bob Probert played while Yzerman was still coming up and guys might've wanted to take liberties against him. Heck the man was banned from entering Canada for years cause he was such a nut, that was awesome Lol.

McCarty had one highlight reel goal and one lucky friggin hat trick and other than that he was a bum. It was so well known in this area that he was more into the celebrity of being a pro hockey player than working hard. There were a ton of pictures everywhere of him drinking the nights after games and stuff, lol he even went bankrupt cause he was such a dumbhead. If I'm not mistaken he's playing for the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins as we speak haha.

Is it a requirement of all Avs fans to hate McCarty? He wasn't that bad on the ice. He sure knew how to get under peoples skins. Not as good at that as say kasparitis or c. lemieux, but none the less, he had a role and he played it. I always hated forsberg, but I did respect his style of play. He didn't play that stereotypical "European" no-contact style. He never shyed away from contact. But he was a diva, and I delighted every time McCarty et al blew him up on the boards

McCarty was a goon and had no talent.

Also, P. Roy is a dickhead. My brother said he was one of the worst coaches to come across in the Q. He most always got kicked out.

I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you mkay.

McSorley and Peter Worrell are goons. McCarty was just a c0ck:P

Lol McCarty was painfully slow and had no shot. I HATED Maltby but at least you knew if he had any open space he could roof it. Claude Lemieux played rough and painfully dirty at times but he could score 20-30 goals a year and would put a team on his back during the playoffs. If you put McCarty fresh out of juniors and trying to get in the NHL now he'd never make it, no skill with the puck and no speed

I'll agree with that. He was slow, not nearly as skilled offensively. But he played in an era where physical play was a major component. That is the NHL that I loved. I don't like the rules changes now. It's like watching pee wee hockey with no checking.

Did you ever play any of the EA Sports NHL video games? I imagine you must have hated them. They always had McCarty rated really high

[thetreble 19]

Gotta love Maltby because he's a local boy.

Haha oh without a doubt I've been playing those games forever I make it a point to try to play at least 2 games a day now during the week Lol.

I just like guys that hit hard AND can play, guys like Iginla or Forsberg or even Lucic with Boston. I named the trend of guys getting booted out of the league after the rule changes as the "Hatcher Effect" cause holy ####### did Derian Hatcher look like a slow moving glacier after the rule changes but earned a ton of money before hahaha.

Gotta love Maltby because he's a local boy.

I actually got to go to a Wings playoff game against the Ducks last year and Joey Kocur came up to the box and signed autographs. He was ripping on Maltby the entire time, guess those guys are really close and he looooves to rip into him hahaha.

LoL, when I saw "Hatcher Effect", my mind immediately drifted to Dale Hatcher and that dirty hit he put on Pierre Turgeon in the playoffs after he scored teh game winner. That was a wow moment. Wow what a huge hit and wow what a dirty mother fvcker.
