NHL players smoking? Link inside.

Recommended Posts

I've always thought guys couldnt smoke while staying in tip top shape to play in the NHL. I know this might be a false link, but i'm positive that, that looks like Phaneuf, not so sure on Kipprusoff though. scroll down ont the page, its right under the Avs and flames article. How many guys do you think actually smoke in the NHL?http://onveutlacoupe.blogspot.com/search/label/Dion%20Phaneuf

Hah. Kipper's chainsmoking for crying out loud.

For the record, I know lots of guys who smoke and play hockey (sometimes on the bench) and still have more wind and energy than guys who don't. Pot is also popular with a lot of the top tier roller hockey players around here.

I hate smoking. And I hate dudes who smoke and are way better athletes than me! :(

When I used to freedive for abalone and spearing fish there were old fat guys who I swear would kick out to the dive site with a lit cigarrette held in their snorkle. This was after chain smoking on the walk to the entry sight and while suiting up. Some of these guys had amazing bottom times and it really used to piss me off. I almost took up smoking once to see if it would help me.:lol:

My Friday Night Hockey guys used to go up to Montreal every spring to play against one of our guys old Montreal friends. These guys would be 10 years older than us, smoking butts in the locker room before the game and between periods. They wouldn't hesitate to wash it down with an ice chilled Molson before the third period. And then they would continue the beating they put on us without ever taking a slapshot. Players Filters, I forget the other Canadian cigarette brands.

Hey, I was in Winston Churchill's on Peel when Chelly brought in a bag of MickeyD's!! Shane Corson put down his Marlboro to have a double cheese burger. Mike Keane ordered another shot of Tequila, Peter Svoboda ate some fries from Chelly, and Eric Desjardins just kept dreading practice the next afternoon with Coach Pat Burns. These guys are pros.

I heard they poop too! All this time, I thought they poot talcum powder!

I remember a buddy of mine lighting up a Marlboro on the bench, and when his shift came up, he'd either lay it on the bench while it burned, or put it out on his skate blade..... always made me laugh.

I've heard stories from people I know who played with Glenn Anderson at Chelsea Piers...he'd have an oil can of Fosters and a cigarette on the bench...take a swig and a drag and go skate.

Granted he doesn't play anymore, but I think Iafrate was a big time smoker.

In fact, I just found on article on the subject.

I've seen Al numerous times and never saw him smoke. Perhaps Prenny207 can elaborate as he worked with him when he was at Black Beauty.
