Only 200 kilometers away!

Guess who:
He was born on the same day as Patrick Roy, in the same Canadian province, just 200 kilometers apart.

Mario

(ONLY 200 km away!)



Next, who lived with Mario after he was drafted?

Crosby, yes.

Who else?

Fleury, yes again.

Who else?

Yes there was someone else, Mario has seemed to make a habit of it.

ЯГР


What's the most awesome anagram for Jaromir?

Mario Jr.


"I didn't even know what anagram meant in English, how could I translate that into Czech?"
-Jiri Hrdina, former Penguins and teammate of Jagr, and fellow Czech trying to explain to Jágr that mixing the letters of "Jaromir" actually spells "Mario Jr"

Also, Hrdina and ЯГР were called Czechmates, hilarious, I know.


Did you know that Mark Madden said he would donate $6500 to the Mario Lemieux Foundation, if Mario scored directly off a faceoff in a radio show. That night Mario did just that. Check it.



ЯГР's father owns a chain of hotels.


Paul Coffey preferred his skates to fit as tightly as possible, and wore two sizes smaller than his shoes. They were tied with two sets of laces, one laced from the bottom to half way up, and the other from the halfway point to the top. The skates were so tight that rather than untying them trainers cut the laces to remove his skates after every game. Also, he preferred to grind the blades of his skates to a very dull finish resulting in him "gliding" over the surface of the ice.

Coffey is into car dealerships.


He also has an epic stick curve.


Thank you wikipedia.
