NHL '08- '09 Thread

A father of a Penn State defenseman passed away last week. The team, coaching and support staff make the 6 hour drive to the funeral. As well as taking time to stop by and see Jr.

My wife always said that if we had a daughter she would of wanted her to merry a hockey player. That in it's self speaks volumes.

not a good year for PSU hockey it seems..but I'm happy to hear they stopped by to see Jr. I'm sure that made his day. I'm also considering getting a scott stevens sweater now

Don't get me wrong, there's always a lot of stories of NFL, MLB and NBA players participating in their communities, but it seems as if NHL players go above and beyond.

Absolutely....the Blackhawks taking a side trip to their GM's father's funeral this season was a prime example.

Like I said, I have gone from disliking Scott Stevens to being a fan for life.

No real blockbusters at the deadline, Hawks picked up Sammy Pahlsson from the Ducks as a center in exchange for a 6th D-man, no real big improvement as I see it.
