Little Hexy Is Also Available for Interview
The700Level.com - Philly Sports & Minutiae —
Apparently this interview after Game 7 of the 1987 Stanley Cup Finals just couldn't wait. Hexy handled what had to be an annoying interview with awful timing just about perfectly. You can see how genuinely disappointed he was that the Cup was in the other locker room.

Where Have All The Devious Psycho Goalies Gone? [NHL Closer]
Deadspin —
The NHL Closer is written by Greg Wyshynski, of FanHouse and The Fourth Period. He is also the author of Glow Pucks And 10-Cent Beer.
What was more offensive to Philly fans during last night's induction of Ron Hextall into the Flyers Hall of Fame: Losing to the now first-place (!) Washington Capitals, 4-3, or the fact that none of the Bullies dropped the gloves in his honor? What an insult; that's like attending Elton John's birthday party and not wearing assless chaps. Fact is that the legacy of psycho goalies like Hextall has been tarnished, ignored and legislated out of the game. I spoke with one of the ...
“You know, my man pubes almost won us the Stanley Cup”
The Meaningful Collateral —
Friend emailed me this … weird video.
It’s right after the 1987 Stanley Cup Final’s game 7 (Edmonton beat Philadelphia 4 games to 3), and ESPN Tom Mees is interviewing Flyers’ Goalkeeper Ron Hextall. Hexy had just won the Conn Smythe Trophy, and, well, as you’ll see at the start, the videographer nearly showed us Ron’s own Conn Smythe: ...
Ron Hextall's Naked Interview
Sean Leahy's Going Five Hole —
Sometimes reporters don't get enough credit for what they do. Getting a good quote from an athlete after a game must be tough, especially after a loss. Can you imagine walking up to Derek Boogaard after a loss and wanting to ask him what went wrong? I'd pee my pants. ...

Not much going on in Penguin Land... except to watch helplessly in the mirror as your beard grows. If there are ladies out there not shaving their legs during the playoffs, God bless. :: Speaking of playoff beards, a Pens fan is chronicling his beard at [ Nut Check Videos ] :: [ Fleury 29 ] sent this ...
Ron Hextall “Naked” Interview
NHL Digest —
The following video is a post-game interview with Ron Hextall after a disappointing Game 7 loss in the Stanley Cup Finals to the Edmonton Oilers.
Even though Hextall was awarded the Conn Smythe trophy as the best player in the playoffs, by his own admission it pales in comparison to winning the Stanley Cup. Of course it does; did you really expect him to say anything different?
P.S. - I’m not sure who was running the camera during this interview, but I think he gets viewers just a little too close to Hextall’s “5-Hole”… ...
Its That Time Again
Sabretooth's House —
by Anne Last year 'round about this time, I un-pushed the panic button and reached a level of complacency I did not know I possessed in regards to the Buffalo Sabres pathetic shame spiral out of playoff contention. I think my un-push is earlier than last season, actually. Around this time last year, things were so bad Michael Funk was called up for more ...
