One of the things you'll come to know about hockey culture (if you stick with it) is the self-effacing nature of its stars. I don't know exactly WHY this is and there is much speculation about the phenomenon. There ARE exceptions to the general rule, of course... every large group of people have their idiots. The culture is a big part of why I love the game; the players generally reflect the values I believe men should both possess and <b>live</b> by.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-53118272850467001202010-12-19T18:57:14.823-07:002010-12-19T18:57:14.823-07:00Buck, Thanks for the link. I read the post and wat...Buck, Thanks for the link. I read the post and watched the video. (I am trying to learn about this game!) This guy Lidstrom does sound like the perfect hockey player. His physical skills at that age are amazing. But I really like his attitude. Some (not me) have called ARod the perfect baseball player. He's good, but from the video and from the other things other players say about Lidstrom, I'm pretty sure he has a little different (read: much better) overall attitude toward the game and his fellow players than does ARod.Dapper Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230099347154360809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-7729310607144248132010-12-17T10:48:34.432-07:002010-12-17T10:48:34.432-07:00You'll pardon me whilst I go wash.You'll pardon me whilst I go wash.Moogie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665429537064900337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-27258852019018490852010-12-17T06:20:21.183-07:002010-12-17T06:20:21.183-07:00I probably won't read the whole thang, but tha...I probably won't read the whole thang, but thanks for tryin' to learn us somethin'.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.com
