Some are so old and others are just so cool. My 8 yo kept asking “dad, how many cords do you think are in this tree?”.

    when i was a little kid i used to roll out my play doh into logs and cut it with a table knife mimicking the sound of a chain saw as i did. MY older sister (she is ten years older) would get POed at me as it woke her up!

    NOPE. I was introduced as "buZZsaw BRAD" at my Step daughters wedding September 8 last year when we walked into the reception. Her husband (my step son in law i guess) has a death metal band and they gave me the nickname. It stuck! One of his bandmates finally fessed up weeks later to telling the DJ to do that. I didnt care, thought it was funny.
    Rolls off the tongue nicely! :saw: IMG_0459.JPG
    They gave me the T shirt for Christmas and cigarsmokingzombie challenged me to be like "buzzsaw" on the movie The Running Man. So i did.

    I wore a Mighty Ducks jersey to game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals in June 2003. Devils took game 7 over the Ducks. Saw the cup skated either way. I did want the Ducks too.

    As a Flyers fan I wanted the Ducks to win that series also. Game 6 was when Stevens almost killed Paul Kariya right? I can still see his visor fog up when he started to breathe again.

    I was in Niagara Falls Cananda during game 7 of the 2000 ECF between the Flyers and Devils. Flyers blew a 3-1 series lead and we watched the last game at a local sports bar. The place erupted when Stevens knocked out Lindros. I had no idea how much Lindros was hated up there for snubbing the Nordiques.

    I was also at a bar near Camp LeJeune when RJ Umberger was knocked out by Brian Campbell during the Flyers/Sabres series.

    3 big hits I'll never forget.

    I think i remember that hit Stevens put on Kariya BCB. He was vicious in his own zone.
    Im a recovering Whalers and one time Hurricanes fan.
    Met my ex wife at a New Haven Beast AHL game. We divorced in 2005. Lost interest in hockey after that. We went to game 3 of 2002 finals in Raleigh. The triple OT game.
    Somewhere there exists a picture of her and i tailgating on NHL.com. Just did a search and no luck.
