I have a friend, Peter, who has one blue and one brown eye. He’s known for that.

Horcoff on the Oilers also has 2 different colored eyes. He’s the second person I’ve noticed with this trait, after my friend.

Granato

You know, The Avs have problems on the road, and during this homestand they have had a lot of problems in the second period.

The bench in the second is furthest away, and away he gets the last change, which means his coaching is vitally important there, and the Avs do awful in both areas.

I’m beginning to think he’s not a very good coach.

It’s got an Ace and a Jack next to each other (people call me AJ, so that’s where the personal comes in) and they have a pinkish-purplish outline around them because Gambit’s power was to control kinetic energy, and in the cartoons/comics it was represented by a fuchsia sort of color.

he should be. hopefully he lets loose on the guys in the locker room in about 10 min. but i doubt his christian sensibilities will let that happen.

Hang on to the memories, Rookie. Beating the Wings is all that matters, right? Right?

Red Wings Suck

You have a point...

Right now I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t been there n’ seen it with my own eyes.

For Jibs’ detailed instructions on how to post pics, find the MHH post on Kyle Cumiskey being sent back down to Lake Erie last month. I think that’s where he helped me. Have fun!
