Worst helmet ever

[Troho9]

First off congrats to the Vivona family.

Now, on to the good stuff, I was browsing the Growl web site when I came across the worst helmet ever.

Are you kidding me...is that even legal? hahahah

[AFan99]

Tro when you are that good looking it does not matter what you wear.

Congrats to the Vivona family.

Thats the Gretzky helmet. And it is by far not the worst helmet ever.

[Troho9]

And just for the record, since Jimmy called me busting my chops about being old school, apparently Jimmy is not just a set up man, he does shoot and finish sometimes...its rare and it may take years but the perseverance pays off.

[GROWL]

oh jesus...

[rhhof]

So, From 99 has new meaning then....or does that mean 99 from 99

Congrats Jimmy V

I seem to recall back in the day (which was a Wednesday, I'm not sure if any of you knew that), you cramming your skull into one of those round white Lemuiex Jofa helmets. Don't argue, it'll just motivate me to search for the picture and post it. :p

joey d - if you need an extra push in the motivation category...i'm here. although i have seen tro squeeze his melon into the old "lemieux" jofa personally, i think everyone else should have a chance to see the laws of physics go right out the window.

i would like to congratulate jimmy and his saint of a wife raissa. however, i am scared to death that jimmy v has reproduced. now my kids won't be able to get a word in while being on the rink with his kid, just like i can't with him now. congrats and good luck man!

[Troho9]

Do you see the similarities here Lemieux...Troho...bad back...early retirement...

[imasieve30]

I'm pretty sure the similarities end there...

On another note, any bets that the first words outta Jimmy V's kids mouth will be "distribute the puck"?

-Joe

[Troho9]

Its either that or a Yingling joke

[SPORTSPLEXJEFF]

Hey ref don't forget my assist on that goal!

[GROWL]

foooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaa dsss

[GROWL99]

I want to thank all my friends for the kind wishes regarding Raissa's pregnancy. I also laughed a lot when I read what followed many of those kind wishes. I can't for the life of me figure out how I gained such a reputation. Well anyway, I want to address a few things. I was shocked to see an older player like Troho be critical of the "Gretzky" style Jofa helmet. For I'm quite sure that through many years of seeing him play, he's placed much uglier hemets on that big dome of a head he has. Thank you Steve Yingling. Raissa smiled when she read that you've nominated her for sainthood due to her being married to me, however, I think we all know that she hit paydirt when she married someone as gook looking and "blessed" like me...haha What is this nonsense about me making sure the refs know that 99 got the assist. These are smart guys, and are fully aware that it had to be me that makes such creative plays to set up the Bobby Beauchamps and Billy Katinsky's of the world. As far as the first words of my future namesake, I'll just say that whatever they are, I'm sure it will be said with the genuine modesty of his or her father, as opposed to that of the conceited mother...lol lol It's nice to be back on here !!! Love you guys, Jimmy V.99

[HawaiianSkater]

maybe the guy cant afford a new one..haha

Hey the advantages are its super lite, and.......its super lite......huh

well anyways maybe we should all chip in and get him a new one.

[growl89]

Jimmy is my memory serves me correctly, and i think it does cause i'm not 100 years old like, i was the one feeding you the puck through the playoffs out in Pitt against the MM, in marple against the typhoon, and in the finals, which by the way Ying were in colorado :D look at the playoff stats jimmy they don't lie, we all know who the real set-up man is!!

Tro

Speaking of white jofa buckets, do you recall Bock's white one full of bug stickers. Dudes would come to the faceoff and be like WTF.

[Troho9]

There are a few helmets that standout to me:

1. Bocks helmet with the Roach stickers all over it.

2. Bantlys "Buffalohead" helmet that we made Tanner wear in Voorhees.

3. Green helmet guy from Liberty Oak

4. Jimmy V's that dates him back to when Stonehenge was built.

5. I guess my Jofa 690 but indefense Tracy wore the same damn helmet so why do I get singled out? Is it cause when I wore it I looked like the guy from He-Man? You remember the guy that you pushed down on and you could use him as a battering ram? Just let me know.

[imasieve30]

Allow me.

Tro add one to the list....

Who really was a slayer fan?? and was that a black or white mission helmet before

I have an old sk2000 black cooper space man helmet still laying around if you want it....

[phantoms12]

hey Tro and billy how about E Fly's helmets he used to wear to practice that old Russian red helmet or the Black one that just fit on his head they were some funny lids

[33]

thanks bill, i didn't realize you guys went to colorado, but after some extensive research even found out you guys won. congrats man! <insert word for feminine hygiene product here>!

TJ call me.

[Troho9]

Wrong site for the man-on-man dating.

[growl89]

Ying you are quite the researcher!! you should of just asked me, i would have told ya :) gettin' ready for winters or what?

[ClevelandRH]

I knew it was only a matter of time before Rockhill pointed out my hockey fashion fo-pa. I do believe the roach helmet is in the possession of one Matty Denton. I'm sure it would have gotten me a few bucks on e-bay.

I have to agree with Troho though, Liberty Oak Green Helmet Guy was pretty bad. Long live the Libert Oak Cup.....

Bock

[33]

billy, i am sure you would have no problem telling me, again and again and again...

can't wait for winters. :D
