AH, JR. We ( me,hubby and kids) got our picture taken with him a few years ago at a Coyotes/fans family day a few years ago. A really nice guy. It's not been the same since he left PHX. He was (still is) our favorite hockey player.
I still remember one of Charles Barkley's lines around the time he was with the Suns. He told his grandma he was a republican and she said, "Charles, only rich people are republicans", and he replied, "Grandma, I"M RICH!".
