Admittedly I don't understand some of the hate-on here for Mess... but I guess I'm too busy toiling in the misery of the lowly Leafs... but soon no more!

Mess was an exceedingly talented hockey player. But dirty - he'd rather deliver a concussion than a bodycheck. He'd throw a vicious elbow to the head when player and ref were looking elsewhere, and shied away from face-to-face contact, unless behind his waving stick. He was extremely effective against my team as an Oiler and Ranger (fair enough), but even more so when he wore our jersey. He was often heralded as the consumate leader, but many who played with him state he was a bully in the locker room.
And his potato chips suck.
May he forever fly in 31E.

IDK about OP, but my point is that you'd need to be a pretty hardcore fan to recognize any hockey player out of uniform and out of context.

You aren't disproving my point. I could recognize Gretzky, Sid and Messier. But I would neither recognize or care if the first line of last years championship team (... ever that was) sat beside me.

Colin Baker (6th Doctor Who), flew 823 from LHR-YYT yesterday, was meeting an international student at the airport and he was first through customs!
Just realised I posted this with a random quote. Ooops
