sweetblazer 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2005 That kid is unbelievable..Used to play summer hokcye against him. No joke he had 9 goals all 3 times we played. He could score at will. He would just take the puck behind his net and giv'er. Interesting little fact about him, he has a 96% average and was actually going to quit hockey so he could focus on becoming a neuro surgeon, guess he made the right choice!

jibby93 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2005 He's not very respected in some parts in the league though he was supposed to go first overall but said he was going to play college then roy took him so he played! He could have atleast advised other teams that he would only play for Quebec of something like come on! <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3 Report post Posted November 24, 2005 Yeah, The story behind 'Just going to play for Roy' is he got offered 1 million or so by him to play there and if he don'r make it pro, Roy is gonna pay him the college in the states, but Roy knew he is gonna make it. I find Crosby way better, Esposito is more like Modano, he is always skating, but Crosby got 3-4 times more hands than him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NuggyBuggy 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2005 and if he don'r make it pro, Roy is gonna pay him the college in the states, If the guy is as good as they say AND has a 96% average, seems to me the last thing he would need to worry about is being able to afford college in the states. He'd get a free ride to any hockey school he wanted, and could probably get a full scholarship to just about any non-hockey school just on the basis of his impressive achievements and grades. Now the 1 million dollars is another story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
