Beer sampling, a good sport at playoff time!!
That old question comes up at times like these..... why do the Leafs drink their champagne from saucers? 'Cuz the cups are all in Montreal (well, 24 of them at last count).
More hockey stories.........
Mario Lemieux, Steve Yzerman and Wayne Gretzky are standing before God at the throne of Heaven.
God looks at them and says, "Before granting you a place at my side, I must first ask you what you believe in."
Addressing Lemieux first he asks, "What do you believe?"
Mario looks God in the eye and states passionately, "I believe Hockey to be the food of life. Nothing else brings such unbridled joy to so many people, from Moscow to the bright lights of New York. I have devoted my life to bringing such joy to people who watch us and support their team."
God looks up and offers Mario the seat to his left.
He then turns to Steve Yzerman, "And you, Steve, what do you believe?"
Stevie Y stands tall and proud, "I believe courage, honour and passion are the fundamentals to life, and I've spent my whole playing career providing a living embodiment of these traits."
God, moved by the passion of the speech offers Yzerman the seat to his right.
Finally, he turns to Wayne Gretzky, "And you, Wayne, what do you believe?"
I believe," says Gretzky, "You're sitting in my seat."
-----------------------------------------------------
Patrick Roy, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Colorado Avalanche flag in the window.
"This house is yours for eternity, Pat," said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here."
Patrick felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a big 3-story mansion with a bright Red and White sidewalk, a 50 ft. tall flagpole flying an enormous Detroit Red Wings flag, and in every window a Red Wings logo.
In the front yard was a sign that said, "Welcome to Hockeytown."
Patrick looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I won three Stanley Cups, more awards than I can remember and am the most successful goalie in NHL history."
God said "So what do you want to know, Pat?"
"Well, why does Steve Yzerman get a better house than me?"
God chuckled and said "Patrick, that's not Stevie's house, .......it's mine."
GO WINGS!!!!!!!
