Any hockey fans out there that can identify this guy? (to the right).

 

[Mark Chisholm]

How about these two?

 

[jimmyq]

chelios in the first

second one looks like the Wings goalie and some growed up dude with a big kid smile!

cool stuff Mark.

 

[Mark Chisholm]

You've got it Paul. Chelios in the first. What an athlete! He's 45 I think. Amazing.

The goalie is none other than Chris Osgood. My son always liked Oz. The pics were taken from their bench asd they practiced in the Philly Stadium. What a blast. I hung with coach Babcock and he introduced us to Chelios and some others. We chatted on the bench with Zetterberg and Kronwall. It was a blast to see them hanging out all relaxed and foolin wityh each other while they worked on some skills. Unbelieveable how they practice! What talent. Babcock was the coolest though. He's got a tough job, but man what a great job it must be.

 

[jimmyq]

Cool Mark, how did you get in on that? something random or are you phishing tree work from local sports celebs ?

 

[Mark Chisholm]

Actually, Mike Babcock is a friend of a friend. And since Mike is such a cool guy, he said come anytime! Awesomne time for us. My brother, a hockey friend and Riggs went with me.

 

[jimmyq]

nice.
my 15 mins... I work at a christmas tree lot over december, the last two years Brendan Morrison has come in and I have helped him pick up his tree. haha, no offers to come to practice yet though.

It must be nice to meet this years Stanley Cup winners. LOL

Zetterberg is our man, he is a very talented hockey player, one of my favorites.

Chelios is just a class act all around, we love him here in<font color="red"> "HOCKEYTOWN".</font>

 

[Mark Chisholm]

I thought of you when I was going to meet them. I knew you'd appreciate it. It was a real blast. They are now my 2nd favorite team.

 

[Norm_Hall]

Cool Mark. I watched Chellie when he played for the Blackhawks. He would regularly attend Bulls games too. I was sad to see him traded. Class act all around.

 

[SirTreeRat]

"Louie is one of the best goalies in the world," Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "He just has that kind of ability. He gives a team confidence."

"I was watching NCAA Basketball, I failed my team by not cheering them on." stated Wings fan Sir.Tree Rat "I'll be a better fan next game"

 

[Fred_Berkelhammer]

Best fight ever: Osgood and Roy at center ice. I'd have to give it to Roy, but, hey, it was close! Chelios is amazing, though, to be sure.

 

[treehumper]

Cool to see them out of the spotlight! We do tree work for Ken Dryden, and the rest of the Maple Leafs. Steve Thomas had hired us. When I got there he had all his gear spread out around his pool deck to dry.

 

[jimmyq]

Fred, that was a gooder indeed. If you like to watch the odd fistfight here is a link http://www.hockeyfights.com/videos/ my fave fights are still the Domi vs Probie series, that and some of the old Gin Odjick spazz sessions. And Tiger williams vs Billie smith.

 

[Riggs]

Flyers are in a slump , hopefully we'll be hockeytown again. Orange and Black , you know , Flyers .

 

[SirTreeRat]

I kinda remember the Flyers. Trade you the Detroit Lions for them.


Todd Bertuzzi will(maybe) start for the Detroit Red Wings, on Thursday against the the Blue Jackets.

 

[jimmyq]

Todd who? its so sad to see the shell of a player he has become after the incident he was involved in. Personally I think it was part of the game and just as much fault should lie with the players who dogpiled on him after he sucker punched steve whatshisname as lie with Todd. sad to see a rough and tumble gorilla of a player have to play by the new rules. He isnt well suited to them.
