funny not too many here would ever have the real emotion for the Rangers Islanders Rivalry... obviously some but I grew up HATING the Islanders.
Hated Mike Bossy way more than Potvin
Hated Billy Smith more than Chico
Hated Gilles
HATED Nystrom... I even hated Wayne Merrik
I would buy any of those guys a beer now of course, and admit that those were awesome days to be a hockey fan in NY and thank them for helping me to fall in love with the game...
That was one seriously talented team.... fun to hate...
PS grew up in LI SURROUNDED by newbster Islander bandwagoneers
Nah it's about a 20 minute drive from where I am but when you're wasted and it's 2 in the morning there's nothing better in the world to eat.
Damn, unless you're 20 minutes away going east, you live close to me. I live about 40 minutes southeast of Huntington. There's a Little Vs here close enough for me to walk to.
Age: 21, turning 22 on the 20th
Occupation: Full-Time student at Plattsburgh State University, Newspaper Journalism major
2nd favorite hockey team: A tie between the Avalanche and the Kings probably
Favorite of all time Ranger: I grew up loving the enforcers, PJ Stock or Matthew Barnaby. Just always loved a guy that could take on that roll and do it with a ****-eating grin on their face
Favorite of all time non Ranger: Tough question, but I'd probably have to say Peter Forsberg. Jarome Iginla has been a favorite since he entered the league, too. Pavel Bure is the reason I wear #10 when I play hockey, despite the fact I'm a lot closer to being the men's league version of Esa Tikkanen
