Now that you have all the basic facts about Chris, we'll talk about other things like his attitude. This could easily be taken many ways. He's kinda quiet and doesn't always want to talk, He's a really funny guy who loves to play jokes on his friends, or simply an excellent goaltender. The truth is he's all of those things. |
|
To start off, keeping quiet sometimes is all part of being a professional athlete. I mean a lot of pressure is put on a Detroit goalie!! You will definitely see any bad attitude go away though! All Ozzie needed was a little confidence, some credit, and a stanley cup. He obviously got that!! |
|
A funny guy, Chris truly is, when he wants to be!!! He's a constant practical joker, and good at it too. People just don't believe it because he rarely shows it in public. But if you think back to any time Chris has spoken publicly you might remember a sarcastic remark or a stupid joke. Take this years celebration at the Joe, when he got up to the mike and said " I'm looking down on the red line from here, and looking at where I play and it's really not that far!" That just shows he can joke about his own mistakes. Besides any person who can go as David Hasselhoff from Baywatch, for halloween has to have a sense of humor!! |
|
An EXCELLENT goaltender? Go to the stats page, see for yourself!! |
|
Two things I didn't point out are that sometimes Chris proves to be pretty shy, and he's got a fighting spirit!! Rarely will you see him look right at the camera when being interviewed. He has an average goalies helmet that he doesn't wear. He says he can't see out of it, but actually I think he's to shy to wear it! It's got a Wizard of OZ theme and it's pretty crazy!! |
|
He proved he was tough enough on April 1st, 1998. Of course this was the day that Chris had his way with Patrick Roy. I was there, It was absolutely incredible!!! |
