Size Up Your Game

Great Article...i Miss The Days That #42 Was Out There In Black And Gold Tearin It Up With The Biggest Guys On The Ice, Making A Wreck Of Them And Then Giving The Pj Wave To All The Fans On There Feet Cheering. I Watched Pj When He Came To Providence Playing With Philly And I Really Missed His Playing Style And Wish He Was Sent Back To The Bruins Orginazation. Good Luck And Thanks For Being An Inspiration For Me And My Fellow Teammates Through The Years.

i back your article all the way. I started playing hockey in Minnesota at age 11. "Too old to start, he will get hurt!" Two years later asked to play AAA, and eventually played college. Maxed out at 5'9" 170lbs. but desire is everything. I talked to Gordie Howe in '99 and he spoke the days when he played and his bonus was being able to keep his sweater and call it his. That is honor, and, love for sport. I never made it to "The Show", but show enough heart to make a difference...love for this game comes for free and cherish every tick that slowly comes off of the scoreboard.

PJ's article is yet another affirmation as why hockey is the Greatest Game on Earth. His sentiments are the exact reason why every kid out there has the oppoertunity to dream about one day making the bigs. Hats off to PJ for confirming that dreams can come true if you have the desire, grit, and determination.

Rock on, PJ!!!

I loved him with the Rangers and I love him today. I'll never forget his first game vs. The Caps and during the pregame he was saying that he was nervous playing against his "idol" Dale Hunter. Their first shift against each other, PJ initiated a fight and made short work of the old pit bull.

Shame he never got a fair shake at the NHL. I'll never truly understand why because he had some skills, was never a liability and the guy could flat out fight. He deserved better.

Look, exactly the type o player the NHL needs, these are the guys that make hockey what it's supposed to be, a game from the heart

I couldn't agree with P.J. - and all you guys in here - more... Hockey is the coolest game on earth, that's for sure, and players like him, is what makes it so great.

Great article, even better person. I loved having PJ on the B's was very disappointed to see him go. You'll never see another player with as much heart and grit. The only person I can think of to compare him to would be Stan Jonathan, the toughest 5'8" player to ever lace up the skates.

Loved the article, I sure miss watching him play though.

I've seen PJ play in a lot of different places as he came up through the ranks. It's one thing to talk the talk and another to walk the walk. When you saw PJ play you knew he was all heart. Absolutely impossible to not like this guy after watching him play. Give me a bunch of guys like PJ, Barnaby, Chelios, and others who play this way and I'll take on anyone...

Pj Stock was True Grit on the ice, all energy all the time, fearless, tough and admired by the fans who rooted for him.

What a great article! I miss him on the ice! He had so much heart for the game and I really wish there were more guys like him in hockey.
I miss you P.J!
