Name: Deadcalm
Where are you from, and where do you live now?
From all over the south and now live in High Point
Tell us what you want to tell us about yourself: 2 kids and one wife (that's all she will let me have) . i love beer and BBQ and just about every sport you can name that isn't Professional Basketball.
How did you become a hockey fan? Once upon a time i lived in Texas and was minding my own southern business enjoying the usual southern sporting fare, Baseball, football, Basketball when ESPN stated televising this strange and somehow compelling northern activity call Hockey.
now, mind you, i had witnessed the "Miracle on Ice" during the 1980 Olympics and was, like any other american overwhelmed by the excitement of the event so i was very receptive of the new ESPN offering.
I later became a casual stars fan as they were the closest NHL team.
How did you become a Canes fan? I moved to Greensboro in 1996 and was here when the Canes started in Greensboro to little fanfare but you could hardly blame Greensboro at the time as there was little reason for the city to embrace a team that was not going to remain.
The 2005-2006 season was the most exciting sporting championship i have ever witnessed.
Who’s your favorite player? Cole and Gleason but also Bodie ( like the guy because he will drop the gloves.)
Any other favorites – Yankee fan for my whole life, Tarheel fan (not a koolaide drinking one though), Miami Dolphins.
How’d you happen upon LGC.com? That other site
Any bad habits you’d like to break? none that i want to break
Name a word that has never been used to describe you. Duke fan
Give us a wish or prediction for the upcoming season. Make the playoffs and build for next year.
Any other words of wisdom in closing? "The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog."
