Hartnell has always had great spirit...but this season his game has matured in so many ways. Great player, great character.
I definitely wouldn't mind having him back in Nashville.
As for Timonen...definitely one of my all time favorite Preds. Not a Flyers fan by any means...but having those two definitely makes it easier to cheer for them at times in the East.
eh the ones that are pissed off make the most noise I suppose
No one really questioned the value of the trades, but losing 2 great 2 way centers and replacing with an 4 younger players was risky. Luckily the Flyers young players have excelled
Why would a grown man want to dress up and look like Hulk Hogan?
It's his shtick. He used to look a lot more like the real Hulk Hogan prior to getting cancer. He's been doing it for years. Cy has lost a lot of weight over the past few years battling cancer a few times.
He's a real down to earth guy who just loves hockey and has fun with it.
I hate everything about Scott Hartnell. I hate his actual face.
If he was on the Pens, I would be ecstatic.
This is well put.

practically a spitting image back in the day.
But ya he's kind of a hero around here. Pretty cool story. He just loves the pens and has battled cancer twice
In the "player you pick to have a beer with"... I chose him.
He just seems to have so much character... the jersey story with "fartsmell"... suckitphanuef... hartnelldown... now this??
Hartnell is a player who is never a superstar, but after he is retired he will still be remembered for his antics.
edit: wow, just watched that video... touching stuff. Well done Pittsburgh organization!!... I have noticed him there often too, sort of like the viking and hat guy in Boston... the sign guy in philly... or that crazy dude who wears a hockey helmet with a siren on top to team Canada games, Cy is a reconizable/frequent fan. That's a really nice story all round.

Wish I could find the radio interview he did around the same time as this on DVE.
He talked about going to his first game in 1967, and how he got picked on at school, since he was the only kid wearing a Pens shirt in the 70's during the Steelers glory years.
Great story on the fan......didn't know that about him and thought he was some yahoo. Loved the move by Hartnell but also glad the fan has a sense of humor. This Saturday could be ....well you know.
