[Fazkovsky]

Ep not having a great shot

I guess we dont watch the same player

I shook his hand once. He said I had eyes like sapphires that glowed like beacons of a mysterious hope in the darkest night sky and that he could get lost in them for a lifetime.

He must have been holding his vodka oj in his left hand?

Did he say you have the best handshake he's ever felt???

He said he didn’t have “the hardest shot”, which I’d say is pretty well accepted.

It’s not like Gretzky didn’t have a great shot himself, in his prime.

Why bump this one when there is already a thread about that specific interview

Said my hands were some of the softest he'd felt. Compared them to Kent Nilsson's wrapped in kidskin.

Entire bottle of vin rouge actually.

I dealt Blackjack to him once. He said even though I was a working a dead end job as a dealer, I would be a top 10 player on the flames.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

While coach of the Coyotes he said Ladislav Nagy could break some of his records.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

How is that any different from many homers on here?

LeBron has dominated as much as Jordan without being an asshat. And before you bring up the rings, LeBron doesn't have the Pippens/Kerrs/Rodmans around him the same way Jordan did. Pippen was a top5 player in the NBA.



LeBron is already a better player than Jordan.

 

[Bronson]

Around 98 or 99 he said that Dominik Hasek was the best hockey player in the world.

But he might have been right at that time.

He was right.

Matt Barnaby was recently on the Spittin Chiclets podcast and said that Kovalev was the most talented teammate he ever had. His list of teammates include Lindros, Sakic, Jagr, Forsberg, Kariya, Bure, Selanne...and Mario.

ya it's insane the amount of talent he had without almost no motivation at times.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

He is too kind and too humble. He was the best at the game and statistically still. You expecting him to insult other players?

 

[NinjaKick]

gotta respect the Great One's opinion when it comes to hockey...
and what he said about EP... and the season EP just had.... oh boy, the Canucks must be pumped...

Well to be fair, kovalev is probably the most talented player of all time. I have heard like 15 NHL players come out in interviews and say the same
