Dibble was raving about him before the draft started. Dibble has apparently been coaching him in high school.

Kid was an overdraft and isn't much of a prospect.

Sounds perfect for them

Cubs draft hockey player ['s son], Sox draft football players.

Maybe Chicago baseball teams should draft baseball players. :tongue:

Gretzky game wasn't about hitting. You can effectively check people without doing a "Rome" every time. He wasn't called the "Great One" for nothing.

Oh I agree, he avoided hitting like a running back avoids a linebacker. Who needs to hit when you have a Marty McSorely as your henchman?

Well, so much for the winning tradition in the Gretzky family.

A bunch of Stanley Cups, followed by the Cubs.

Thud.
