Funny Story

PrintBefore I write this let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I am a writer for SB Nation's Yankees Blog....Pinstripe Alley.
I am a very big Rangers fan, but I really don't hate the Islanders THAT much (big Jason Blake, Kenny Jonnson, Mike Peca fan, but hate the rest basically)
ANYWAY, I was at the Islanders Maple Leafs game on the 23rd and I figured I'd share this story with you.
I know a scorekeeper who works for the coliseum and I got to meet the players on the Islanders.
I also got to do this back in 07 Rangers and Islanders I met both.
Here's a few notes:
-Brendan Witt is HUGE and he growled at us
-Gervais is awesome. He nodded at us, shook our hands, and asked how we were.
-Biron is hilarious. The teams equipment manager asked how he was and he yelled out in his thick accent "TERRIBLE, I DIDN'T LIKE THE LAST SONG!" (songs of the practice)
-Everyone else seemed to ignore us/nod at us
On the Rangers side, back in 07, Jagr was the biggest jerk ever.

Gervais
He’s a late round pick, he’s got to keep it real.
Jagr a jerk? Shocking
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
As a guy with some pretty deep Czech roots, it’s always been a double-edge that the country produces (used to produce?) some great hockey players, but two of the greatest were flakes. At least Hasek has funny quirks, though. Jagr is pure brooding.

Bahahaha
Good stuff. Thanks for giving us a report!
Biron is quite an entertainer. Like Bryzgalov with a French instead of Russian accent.
And Witt, Witt Witt. I get the impression he is always caught between the recognition that he has to do interviews/fan stuff as a pro and the feeling that it’s all so hokie (“what do you mean how does it feel to win?!”), he needs to growl.

(Ever notice how strange that sounds without the contraction?)
