I love this, i don't why, but im fascinated by who i share my b'day with, so i went onto
wikipedia and typed in my birthdate, 21st April, and i found out i have it with Vinny Lecavlier
, Eddy Belfour
and Alexander Edler.
Who does everyone else share there special day with?

Heh. Toe Blake, Billy Reay. And Steve McKenna.
Guess McKenna will turn out to be one hell of a coach like me.

It was with one of the older console hockey games that I realised I share my birthday with Aki Berg. Not a huge thing, but I too am still fascinated by it. There's probably others that I'm unaware of, too.
(And slightly off-topic, but I also share my birthday with Rick Wright. What a co-inkydink that the keyboardist of my all-time favourite band has my birthday
)

Geez Knutsen and Horton on the same day? God let us hope for the other two to have a bit longer life. Same for jackknife.

I remember that, it was in the news here in Finland too, Espen hitting the puck in some little girls face... sad day indeed... not that easy for Knutsen to get over either, I think...
Dunno who's born on 12th May though... not a frequent user of Wikipedia...

The puck was actually deflected into the stands by Flames defenseman Derek Morris.

Making it even sadder: Going to that game was a birthday gift from her dad.

I found three hockey players born on 7th of july. A latvian hockey player Kārlis Skrastiņš and two canadians, Patrick Lalime and some rather unknown player called Joe Sakick. Anyone know if he has done anything special? ;p
