The head would be stationary and the body would flop around randomly. That would be awesome.

i have a photo i took with him when i was 9 mo.s pregnant at the first kings' hockey fest. i waited in line for a long time (over an hour) standing in the heat and then his time was up when i was almost at the front of the line. i almost cried. my husband went up to him as he was leaving and asked if he'd take a pic with me and he kindly obliged. i loved him before and i loved him even more after that. uh, i'm talking about both my husband and kelly hrudey. HAHA.
i was pumped when i heard about this tribute night and totally want to go. i can't wait to get a blue bandana. i remember wanting to be like him when i was just a 15 yr old little lunchbox watching the kings for the first time and being mesmerized by that bandana. lol.

A March 9th rumor for the give-away falls on my birthday. The 13 year old girl inside of me squealed when she read about bandana night. She was last seen on June 11, 2012 while asking her best friend if she wanted a Stanley Cup champs t-shirt to replace the one I bought her in 1993 for her birthday. Our 8th grade history teacher rocked the hockey posters in his classroom and would use hockey players as multiple choice answers on his tests.

Love Hrudey!! When I played that is why I wore #32 (hence my screenname as well!). To make it complete, how about everyone also gets a strip of red tape for Red-Line Stauber. I swear that guy was like Forest Gump. You had to yell stop or he would skate past center ice!

You guys are brutal. Goalies today don't take 56 shots a game.

How many times on the power play did you hear Bob say "off Modry's stick... out to center ice"

"Kings still can't clear!"

I love "Hollywood" Kelly Hrudey! Didn't have the greatest career, but, he was a gamer. Sometimes gave up 5 goals in one game, then, got stingy the next, giving up 1 or 2. I still have respect for the guy because he did get us into the '93 Finals, and except for some bad OT luck, might have helped L.A. win it all.
