Hockey and Monster Trucks???
So last night I take my youngest to the biggest "mullets and monster truck" gathering at Race City.
Quite entertaining ppl watching, I might add.
So imagine my shock when right in front of me sits This Guy (<- linky) and all his family, wife and 5 kids.

No one here recognizes him at all and I'm still not sure. So finally I sit beside him and say "Excuse me, dont mean to bother you but are you Barry?"
Long pause and a bit of a smile "...yes I am"
"I THOUGHT it was you!! lol...what are you doing up here?"
He is visiting his sister and up for the Stampede. We chatted about all the FA signings this month. He's lost all his major players (Vokoun, Kariya, Forsberg etc) and says his player salary is now down to 23 million.
I mentioned the Flames signing Nolan and he just says..."nah...that guy's done..no longer a force. All those big name FA's are past thier prime"
I guess he's going to start rebuilding with younger guys.
He was nice, I welcomed him to Calgary and wished him a good vacation. I mentioned golf and beer drinking and he says "Im more of a wine drinker myself"... Oh...la te da!! lol.
So it was quite a surprise to see him sitting amongst all the mullet-wearing rednecks of southern Alberta at a monster truck show! lol
