Mikie2times Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Very special moment for a great, great hockey player standing with his family.. My girlfriend’s brother runs this site http://www.letsgowings.com he called us during the ceremony in tears. One of my all time favorite athletes and I'm not even a hockey fan.
meazza Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Very special moment for a great, great hockey player standing with his family.. Where would you guys rank Stevey Y in terms of top hockey players of all time?
Dante Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Nice to see a athelete like him. Not smitten with himself. Not taken by his own greatness. Seems to be the norm for NHL players rather than the exception. Brenden Shanahan much the same. Great combination of charachter and athelete. What can you say about a guy who wins cups, personally engineers and inspires the sweeping changes to make the NHL better to watch. Then a few nights ago takes on Brashear toe to toe. Knows he's in trouble in that fight but still goes ahead with it. A real f'n man. And im not even a Red Wing or Ranger fan.
Corp000085 Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Dante, if you want the normal pro athlete persona you can look no further than Jeremy Roenick. A genuine Grade A **** in the chad johnson/terell owens mold. The only difference is that he's sucked for the past 6 or so years...

Roenick is barely playing these days. I think up until the last Phoenix game, he was a healthy scratch for six games in a row.
MattyT Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I'm an Avalanche fan and I have an incredible amount of respect for Stevie Y. That's saying something.
Cornerville Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Where would you guys rank Stevey Y in terms of top hockey players of all time? Very good question. I would not rank Stevie Y ahead of Gretzky, Lemieux, Orr, Richard or Howe...but he is definately somewhere with Messier, Dionne, etc.
millbank Posted January 5, 2007 Author Posted January 5, 2007 link from Red Wing site of Evening Very moving the great coaches, players, Howe, Lindsay , Abel, a man standing tall with his family speaking in a humble fashion that honors so many.

Has either CJ or TO ever been named "Humanitarian of the Year" by their team? Or had their own charity for a decade and a half, raising millions for children and the Special Olympics? As far as sucking, Roenick led his team in scoring in 2001 and 2003, was second in 2002, and fifth in 2004 (second in goals scored). I really wish people would stop talking out their ass because the guy made one fuggin' statement that was blown completely out of proportion by the idiots at ESPN.
