Yup, no real good answers, but maybe some more drama for my mama!

The USSR/CSSR international games of the 1970s. Those were wars, nothing remotely like it anymore!

One of my favorite player of the 90's was Darius Kasperitis (sp?). Not a big defensemen but tough as nails. I heard that when he played for his national team he puched his own goalie after he lost the game.

Another note: when I went to see the Isles/Sharks game in SJ someone hung a sign that said "we can cure kasperitis in our time." I dunno I thought it was funny.

Luv me sum hockey.

Merry Christmas,

Darius Kasparaitis was named by ESPN as one of those guys that you hate but would love if he was on your team. Lots of big hitting, some would say "borderline" (a lot of knee to knee), but he was very effective at what he did.

King of the hip check. he did have a lot of borderline ones and I'll admit low ones but I think more often than not they were not intentional rather just how hard he played. I remember in the 92' playoffs he flatened Mario (another personal favorite) and just loomed over him waiting for something to get started and mario, who is quite larger, just sat on his as...smart move IMHO. That was the last of the decent Isles teams as Mad Mike destroyed our team.
I look around the league and see a playoff team with all the cheap players we gave away and I do mean "gave."

I can't wait to get back stateside to catch a game live.
