My YT is back

What was he, about 6 ft tall, 180 lbs? And he had no problems taking out guys like Lindros. He was fearless. His timing was mesmerizing. You knew the hit was coming and you knew he'd find just the right angle. He was very un-Euro-like.

I still miss him and his play so much. And I still tear up thinking about what we as fans lost.

Your pic reminded me of something. Remember when he hoisted The Cup and The Joe just exploded? Priceless!

I'll never forget all the amazing memories with Vladdy. I'll also never forget swimming in my pool on a beautiful summer day loving the fact that we were Stanley Cup champions, and my dad came out and broke the news of what happened to Vladdy. I had an instant feeling of dread. What a massive tragedy that was and still is. Vladdy forever.

That was Hawerchuk's last game in the NHL too. He missed game 4 of the finals, and retired after the series.

That hit came in the 2nd period, and if I'm not mistaken (correct me if I'm wrong, too), I don't think Hawerchuk played another shift after that hit. Interesting to think that (possibly) the guy's last play in the NHL resulted in him getting absolutely ROCKED.
