I only have 4 speeding tickets in 35 years of driving. ;D
You guys don't want me to say what I think of Brittney Spears. My daughter thinks the same thing of Brittney as I do, but I didn't know it until recently.

14.Name something that may surprise people about you: As a kid I was a much bigger ball fan than hockey. Now I barely turn the tv on for a game. (Guess i've matured.)Hockey does that to you OM. I grew up on baseball and was a die hard Dodgers fan. Then I went to my first live hockey game and the hockey bug caught me. I still follow the dodgers in the news to see how they are doing, but I haven't been to a live game since June 1999 and I can't watch more than 2 innings of it on TV. So what I do now is turn it on in the 7th inning if they are on TV. Hockey is so fast and so much fun that baseball is boring after getting hooked on hockey. I think if I had grown up around hockey instead of baseball I never would have been a baseball fan.

Figured I'd get around to answering these sometime: 1. Your favorite current Leaf: Sundin/Mogilny 2. You favorite all time Leaf: Darryl Sittler / Borge Salming I never got to see these guys play (not that I can consciously remember anyway) but I soaked my Dad's stories about these guys. 3. Your favorite all time player: Gretzky Tough one. From the ones I've watched, I'll have to say Gretzky, even if he did cost up the Cup in '93 (we would have wiped the floor with Montreal). 4. Your 2nd favorite Team: One is allowed to have a second favorite team? 5. Best all time player... your opinion: Bobby Orr I used to say Gretzky until I watched some old tapes of Bobby Orr. 6. The one player you'd like to be on next years Leaf Roster: Paul Kariya 7. Last person you'd want on next years Leaf Roster: Billy Tibbitts 8. Remove 1 player from the Current Leaf Roster: Valk 9. Where do you live: Scarborough 10. How old are you: 25 11. Occupation: IT/Business Analysis 12. Family: Happily Single - I say "happily" because I'm sick and tired of everyone and their cleaning lady trying to set me up. 13. NHL players etc you've met: <br> Haven't had the good fortune to run into any Leafs (or other NHL players for that matter). Ran into Mike Myers once in a Yorkville newpaper/magazine store. He was wearing a Leafs cap. Does that count? 14. Name something that may surprise people about you: I tend to make it a habit of trying to surprise people and being the type of person that is impossible to pigeonhole. Unfortunately, this has tended to have an effect where even the most surprising (IMO, anyway) thing about me (the "thing" always depending on the person) is never perceived to be all that surprising. Shock people too many times and the only thing you achieve is to numb them to shock. So I'll hand out a bit of interesting information instead: Grew up in four countries over my childhood (Canada, US, Singapore, Hong Kong). Didn't really get into hockey until I moved back to Canada. My childhood sports were rugby (I played Sevens) and competitive swimming (individual). I've had one 1 whopper of a speeding ticket (caught doing forty over the limit) in my six years of driving.

This could be amusing for a little bit
1. Your favorite current Leaf: Umm... I think the answer is I don't have one. Maybe Pat Quinn though for steering them round and round and round in circles. Or Ken Dryden.
2. You favorite all time Leaf: Almost as hard, although Doug Gilmour is an ex-leaf of late who has grown on me.
3. Your favorite all time player: Maurice Richard. Close second to Guy Lafleur. I wasn't around to watch these guys live, but even old tapes and pictures are enough to make these guys some of the most exciting Habs.
4. Your 2nd favorite Team: (assuming Leafs are #1 ): There is no team but Les Glorieux, but whoever's playing the Leafs is normally a sure bet to win my affection
5. Best all time player..your opinion: Wayne Gretzky. So much raw talent, so much desire - others came close (Gordie Howe, Mario Lemieux) but no one touches his talent with the puck
6. The one player you'd like to be on next years Leaf Roster: First line winger Jonas Hoglund!
7. Last person you'd want on next years Leaf Roster: Anyone with talent
8. Remove 1 player from the Current Leaf Roster: Cujo... oh wait. He has been removed. Alright, how about Sundin
9. Where do you live: St. John's, NF (actually - I'm living in Hr. Grace, NF atm - but that's for a summer job)
10.How old are you: 21
11. Occupation: Student (currently employed as a web designer)
12.Family: Nagging parents and one wonderful girlfriend.
13. NHL players etc you've met: None as far as I can remember...
14.Name something that may surprise people about you: I'm a Habs fan!

4. Your 2nd favorite Team: Anyone who plays Detroit. As a kid we had a similiar house-rule: My dad hated the habs. Our rule was that we liked the Leafs (duh) and whoever was playing Montreal. I can rem. dad cheering for Orr's Bruins one sat night and then hating them the next as they played in TO. Classic. ;D
