blaque Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Seriously though, keeping it local, My hometown heros were the "french connection". Gilbert Perreault, Richard Martin and Rene Robert.
JohnAB Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 No doubt about it, Number 4 Bobby Orr. Best player the game has ever seen in my mind.
Garry2Rs Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 What about Ted Lindsay, Jean Beliveau and Leonard Patrick "Red" Kelly?
bpsbassman Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Numba fowa Bobby Owa................... still my hero.
Roy Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Garry, you certainly picked three gentlemen of the sport. Great hockey players and all around great human beings.
Headhunter Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Number 14 Dave Keon! The man could and did do everything for the team! HH
Puckhead Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 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?
fishing n autograph Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 i've met all of the guys mentioned here...the nicest person was Jean Beliveau....rudest the great one.... my idol...super mario #66
leafland Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 #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........
bucktail Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Cannot beat this guy for class and heart, hell he played on a broken leg!
Billy Bob Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 The guy who drives the Zamboni machine. It's the most exciting part of hockey
Kirk Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 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 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 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
misfish Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited May 27, 2008 by misfish
Cookslav Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 QUOTE(sturgman @ May 26 2008, 09:11 PM) *Ahh thats easy!! Wendel Clark. Google "all heart" Almost named my first born after this guy! I still get goosebumps watching it thumbsup_anim.gif 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 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 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 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 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 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 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!
