Original 6 vs. Expansion
My Mom got some tickets for this so my Dad, my 2 brothers and I went yesterday. It was a lot of fun.
Lots of interviews with the players, they had a kids team come out and play during the second period, and they honoured Mess, Francis, MacInnis and Stevens before the game.
Expansion had the four inductees.
Watching Paul Coffey skate and handle the puck is still amazing. I can't remember if I had seen him play live before.
Chris Nilan with a couple of goals He also tripped one of the 4 year olds coming in on Billy Smith and made the diving sign
Billy Ranford with plenty of two pad slides and some nice stops.
Billy Smith was struggling a bit out there.
They didn't show his hit on Francis during Stevens' video thing
Best line of the day was when the host, Ron Hoggarth, was talking to the kids. One of the 4-year old kids said something, he leaned down and asked what he said, and the kid said "Drop the puck"
Wendel with a couple pull it behind and then back up through the legs moves.
Will post some pics soon. _________________ Bring back the old OTP!
