My GF is a hockey fanatic and I get dragged to many hockey events. she forced. E to the NHL all-star game last year and we met Kopitar. Big guy.
we also met steve stamkos. Patrick elias, Carlson , and Charria, who is massive in person.
Anyone else think the Kings sandbagged game 5 so they could parade the Stanley Cup around home ice tonight? Quite a difference in their play in game 5 and tonight.
The scariest hockey player I ever saw up close was Scott Stevens. He wasn’t as tall or heavy as some of those other guys, but he had this strange look to him. Instead of being well-built and toned like a typical athlete, he was just BIG in every way. He looked like a normally-proportioned human being who was 20% larger than average by every measure ... giant head, huge feet (someone who would know this told me that he wore one of the largest pairs of skates in the NHL), and the biggest hands I’ve ever seem up close. Oh, and he has those bright blue eyes that look through you like lasers. LOL.
