Who's your first NHL Idol? NF

[blaque]

Seriously though, keeping it local, My hometown heros were the "french connection". Gilbert Perreault, Richard Martin and Rene Robert.

 

[JohnAB]

No doubt about it, Number 4 Bobby Orr. Best player the game has ever seen in my mind.

[bbog]

#14 Dave Keon

[Garry2Rs]

What about Ted Lindsay, Jean Beliveau and Leonard Patrick "Red" Kelly?

[BITEME]

BERNIE PERANT

[Puckhead]

[bpsbassman]

Numba fowa Bobby Owa................... still my hero.

[Roy]

Garry, you certainly picked three gentlemen of the sport. Great hockey players and all around great human beings.

[Headhunter]

Number 14 Dave Keon! The man could and did do everything for the team!

HH

[Puckhead]

Don't take this the wrong way Roy, but none of us have any idea as to whether those lads weren't tyrants away from the rink and in their 'personal' lives........Unless you know those three personally, in which case, got any good stories?

[John]

Bobby Orr without a doubt

[fishing n autograph]

i've met all of the guys mentioned here...the nicest person was Jean Beliveau....rudest the great one....

 

 

my idol...super mario #66

[hoops12]

99

[leafland]

#27 Darryl Sittler

still remember being at the Gardens in the Greys with my Dad 10 years old, Sittlers record still stands 6 goals 4 assists totaling 10pts ... never never forget it!!!

Clarky is right up there with him... #17 bled Blue........

[crappieperchhunter]

Number 4....enough said.

[bucktail]

Cannot beat this guy for class and heart, hell he played on a broken leg!

 

 

[Billy Bob]

The guy who drives the Zamboni machine. It's the most exciting part of hockey

[Kirk]

Mine was a group, led by another #27, Sittler, especially after watching his incredible 6 goal 10 point performance against the Bruins about many years ago (30) (untouched record and will probably never be repeated).

 

Sittler, Keon, Salming Ellis and gang and the good old days of bench clearing brawls.

[anders]

The only man who actually reinvented a position....Bobby Orr. Right from a kid, he was my hero....i would love to actually meet him and wet a line with him. Would be a dream come true

[Lungelarry]

And he loves and catches fish too.....

[misfish]

Bobby was my main player,but I really like BJ Salming. I would study his play and add abit of the defence rush of Bobby in my play. Didnt work out as I didnt make it.LOL

HELL YEA!! love that video! guy played the game the way it should be played! still to this day my favorite player!

 

Yup...I'll third that one.

He had a nack for important points, and kept the other team honest as well.

All around just an exciting guy to watch.

[mepps]

Mario Lemiuex is still the greatest hockey player ever as far as I'm concerned.

 

Even though I live in Syd City, I'm a big fan of Alexander Ovechkin now.

[Crazyhook]

well Grew up playing with Guy Lafluers son back in the day in the West Sialnd of Montreal.

My biggest hockey idol is Rick Tocchet

[Baldy]

Maurice Richard was my hero until Bobby Orr came along.

 

#4 was God's gift to hockey.

 

Gretzky was a wimp.

 

You guys and your Leaf players!
