Who did you pretend to be growing up?

I was 8 when we won the Cup but all of my favorite Rangers were quickly supplanted by this new kid on the block a year later named Peter Forsberg. Was and always will be my favorite player.

Leetch. I always played defense but had a big shot and used to always carry in deep.

When I played out in the backyard with my big brother (all concrete is the best for playing hockey!) he used to make me get in goal while he took shots on me. Always Richter of course

Did this on the main board a few months ago and it was fun to see the responses. When playing street hockey/roller hockey/whatever, who did you pretend to be out there?

I had this random VHS of a late 80's Rangers/Penguins game in which Tomas Sandstrom scored twice. So I used to throw that on and pretend to be him while playing along to the commentary. I also really liked Darren Turcotte for some reason. I think it was the visor.

In goal, definitely Mike Richter.

Brian Leetch.

When my inline wheels are shot I pretend to be Brian Boyle.
