OK , I live in the DEEP south. Us is JUST getting that ice-stick stuff (in worst bad "southern" accent), wha is 'verse gate won styl'?.

Really, I was taken to a Flames game or 2 back in the 70s (I was a wee-lad) in Atlanta. I next went to a game in the early 90s when the IHL Atlanta Knights came to be (as part of a deal at the creation of the Lightning-> from what I understand, Atlanta and Tampa folded their bids together with Atlanta getting a top minor team to "test the market" with an "assured bid" in the next expansion round if attendance sustained certain acceptable levels). I went to ALOT of Knights games, including when they won the Turner Cup in 1994. I also made a few Greenville Growl, now defunct, games. I have never ACTUALLY made it an NHL game yet. I am a relative novice in hockey stuff. So, what EXACTLY is "Gretsky-style," and then "reverse Gretsky style?"


On a side note, Southern hockey ALWAYS cracks me up. Everywhere else, it is a "beer and nachos/bratwurst" crowd, while down here it is "wine and cheese." It is not uncommon for a decent chunk of the crowd to be in blazers/coat and ties! The ones who do the "funky chicken" (me) get WEIRD looks by the REST of the crowd (but ALWAYS make the jumbotron REPEATEDLY). Can't WAIT to do it in a kilt at a Thrashers game, just IMAGING the strange looks.
