That jersey has remained unwashed I assume?
Jonathan Quick as a Manchester Monarch !
I recognize Andy, who is the dude in the hat?
I played on a team with former Ranger Dave Inman, and skated with Messier and St. Louis. They were all astonishing to see on the ice.
I don’t have photos, but I met Rod Gilbert on a flight from LGA to Orlando in 1999. He knew the guy sitting in front of me, and came to say hi to him. I took the opportunity to say hi and he went right into a conversation with me like he and I were good friends.
I sat next to and chatted with Steve Vickers on a rush hour Metro North train in the late 80s-early 90s. He was wearing a suit and tie.
I said hi to Ulf Nilsson in a gas station in Elmsford in the late 1970s.
Met Zucc Hayes and Brassard back in like 2013 at a karaoke bar in the West Village. We said what up and got a pic. No one else really knew who they were.
Normal looking dudes.
Met Graves and Healy at a pub in Chelsea as well. I went up and said hi, big fan. They were super nice and chatted for a bit. No pic – wasn’t the right vibe.
Met Stefan Matteau a long time ago. Nice guy. Got a picture.
Met Brassard right after he was traded but still in town as I was heading into the locker room for beer league. He was practicing there with a couple guys, he actually stopped to talk and I wished him luck in Ottawa, pretty nice guy.
Another time at the same rink there was a kid’s team playing before us that took over our locker room and their stuff was everywhere. We start getting dressed, the door opens and it’s Marty St. Louis looking for his son’s bag. Of course it was the bag under all my stuff – sorry Marty!
Played a pickup game with Matteau. Cool guy, excellent shit talker.
My father was at an airport (can’t remember where), and getting out of his vehicle/going to his vehicle was Mark Messier. My dad snapped a photo of just him (with his permission of course.) I’ve never met a Ranger, but I did have the luck of being at a hockey tournament in Canada and watching Mario Lemieux’s kid playing hockey. At one point, we looked to our left and saw him. My buddies and I were starstruck and just staring at him. He looks up at us, smiles and just waves, and says, « Hey guys! »
Krieds at a charity skate back in 2014 or so. Super nice guy. My mom sells real estate and showed him a house last year and had no idea who he was and later that day was telling my dad about “this very nice hockey player” she had met..!
I met Carl Hagelin outside the garden after a preseason game. He was really cool.
During the 2014 playoffs, I saw Brian Boyle on the subway going to MSG. He was zoning so hard so I didn’t say anything to him. He had to duck his head to get on the train and he was wearing flip flops.
I met Sean Avery and Manny Malholtra
I met Shane Churla at a birthday party a few years back. Shook his hand. It was about the size of a grizzly paw. 🐾
I met Sean Avery in SoHo several years ago. He was shopping with his then-girlfriend, now his wife. Just he and I, chatting on a quiet street, he was very approachable and pleasant. I had his girlfriend take a picture of us. Always one of my favorite Rangers.
Met Hank, Shanahan ,and Jagr prior to a game in 06 maybe.
I met Adam Graves a long time ago.
I’ve met Trouba in Tampa. I posted a picture in this sub a few years back. I also met Kreider but he snubbed me for a picture saying he’d miss the team bus if he took one.
Rod Gilbert! My dad met Matteau
Rod Gilbert in the garden and Jimmy Vesey outside during his first stint. On a side note I want that sweatshirt Hank is wearing.
In the 90’s I spent about 30 minutes chatting with Rod Gilbert at Dime bank in the Nyack Mall. He was there to do a promo and I was there servicing some equipment. He was sitting at a table having coffee while I worked. I really didn’t know him as a player because I was just a little kid when he played, but he was really nice and great to talk to.
I met Chris Nilan in the Bathroom of TGIF in Hackensack on Rt17 when he was coaching with the Devils.
I met Ron Duguay at a gym in Fairfield NJ, my wife came running over to tell me “Wayne Gretzky is on the Elliptical! “ Both were cool. Nilan’s face looked like it was carved from granite.
I met Leetch at a YMCA summer camp in NY as we were both checking our kids in. I was actually wearing a vintage style Leetch T shirt. He kept looking at me, and I realized it was him. This was right after his wife had that bar in incident. He fist bumped me and that was it. He looked miserable.
Met a lot of the Devils, Brodeur, Danyko and hung out with Colin White a couple of times through our kids playing travel soccer together. All of them were really nice, even fatso.
ETA , I also hung out with Bill Pidto as our kids played each other in soccer. He’s an awesome guy.
No my brother met hank and fox
Met Fox at a charity tournament a few summers ago, super nice, took pics and signed whatever people wanted.
I have to slightly flex and say that I used to be a main attendant in the wives/friends/family room at the garden, and I have NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS to say about all of the rangers and their guests. So so so so kind. One time I accidentally physically ran into bread man himself while he was pushing his baby in a stroller, I apologized profusely and he was too nice about it! These guys are the real deal. Their families are all friends. Their wives and girlfriends wear coordinating outfits. I fell totally in love with this team through their families!!
I spotted Enver Lisin on Metro North after a game. He walked by and I said « Lets go Rangers » and he turned and smirked. Probably surprised anyone actually recognized him.
I sat next to Mike Richter on a plane to London, like 15 years ago. Both in business class, we chatted a bit about hockey, Olympic Games, airline food and movies. Friendliest and easiest dude in the world.
Met Mike Richter at the Winter Classic this year. Super nice.
Met Dan Girardi with his family apple picking. Didn’t make a big deal of it. Didn’t want to blow up his spot. Quick wink and moved on. Also ran into JD years ago inside a Sports Authority. I ran to the hockey aisle and grabbed a goalie stick for him to sign!
Mike Richter was the perfect man before we got our European perfect man.
