campabee82 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Saw this on Hockey Buzz and thought why not see how everyone does. The best hockey player born on your birthday has to score on a penalty shot to save your life. The goalie he's facing is the starter of the Stanley Cup champs the year you graduated high school. Do you live to see tomorrow? I am pretty confident I would be ok as I have the choice between Alex Ovechkin and Austin Mathews shooting on Ed Belfour to see who was born on your birthday follow the link below https://www.hockey-reference.com/friv/birthdays.cgi?month=1&day=12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habberwacky Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Eric Vail or Rick Lanz (can't count on a Leaf) against Dryden. I think I'm in the emergency room or perhaps palliative care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campabee82 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Ok let's switch it up a bit Now you have to take the player closest to the year you were born against the Habs starter for the year you started High school I get Shawn Horcoff or Jay Henderson I take Horcoff Vs Roy I die a slow agonizing death LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MALMACIAN_CRUNCH Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Looks like I’m toast. Best I’ve got to work with is Brian Rafalski, and if that’s not enough, he has to put it past 2001 Patrick Roy... Yikes 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_T_L Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 My goalie is Vachon but i'm a little unclear what your looking for by closest player to the year you were born. Are you talking about the players birth year or players available the year closest to your birth year? And by closest,,,, do you mean the year before or after you were born?

The player with the closet to your exact birthday, some of us won't have players born on the same day so for them they take the player with the closest year For instance I was born in 78 thus Horcoff and Henderson were also born in 78 so those are my players however if say I was born in 86 there are no players born on my birthday in 86 the closest would be Ovechkin in 85 therefore he would be my player.
