        My actual name is Kananinoheaokuuhomeopuukaimanaalohilo , which in Hawaiian means "The Beautiful Aroma of My Home at Sparkling Diamond Hill is Carried to the Eyes of Heaven" ,apparently my ma and pa were sharing a pineapple at the conception - don't ask. I thought this name was a tad flat and boring so I changed it to the more exoctic Harry Smith , thus my handle :biggrin:

                  Well folks, you can see I have a new username. Named after Wayne Gretzky, the finest player ever to play the (use a Jeremy Clarkson voice here) greatest sport in the world :)

                  Thanks Ziggy, much appreciated.

                            I had the good fortune of being at the MSG a year past January to see the Rangers trounce the Leafs 7-zip. It was a lifetime ambition to see the Rangers and due to my wifes generosity (she bought the trip for my Christmas) I finally made it. Although as a NYR fan I was happy to see it, I was just a touch saddened as the Leafs are my Canadian team and didn`t want to see then lose so heavily :cry3:Also have a soft spot for the Whitby dunnies.

                            I`ve seen my 2 favourite NHL teams so gotta be happy. Just need one to lift Lord Stanleys bauble again now. One thing`s for sure Penny, no-one can accuse us of being glory hunters. :lunapic 130165696578242 5:
