Hextall

The line of the night from Ron Hextall Wednesday night as he was honored by the Flyers? That he and Philly were tailor made for each other. Hextall was inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame in a pretty decent ceremony that had the place rocking. Why not? There were all sorts of vintage video of Hextall making incredible saves, scoring a goal or two himself and of course, beating the stuffing out of other players. Naturally, that got the biggest rounds of applause. Like it or not, fighting is part of hockey. And most times it's a result of someone sticking up for another member of the squad. Hextall had no problem doing that and for that, I admire him. After all, he WAS a goalie and there aren't many of them who like to mix it up. He was a true teammate. I'm not sure if any of you got to attend but I did, I was lucky and I will always remember Number 27.
