Here's to the greatest Minnesota sports hero of all time.<br><br>A couple gems:<br><br>--"You can beat Stan Laurel, can't you?" <br>--"This team isn't talented enough to win on talent alone."<br>--"You were born to be a player. You were meant to be here." <p></p><i></i>

I dont think there is anyone who represented minnesota and our hockey like Herb Brooks did. He will be truly missed. He meant so much to all of us and I hope his story will live on and be told for a long time. It is hard to describe how big of a loss this is but I am proud to say that I am proud to have had him as a Minnesotan and thank him for everything he did for minnesota and our Country. We will miss you Herbie! <p></p><i></i>

Sad Day for Hockey

Post by pucklover7 » Mon Aug 11, 2003 5:49 pm

This is the biggest loss since we lost Badger Bob. When I heard today what had happened, I felt like I was kicked in the stomach. Herb Brooks is the reason I love hockey as much as I do, and I feel as if I lost a member of my own family. <br><br>Herb.......Thank you for all you did for the game, for Minnesota, and for young people everywhere. You will be missed. <p></p><i></i>

What a terrible loss for the Brooks family and all of Minnesota.<br><br>I was fortunate enough to know Herb since the time when I was a toddler. My father and Herb were teammates in college. My heart and prayers go out to the family. <p></p><i></i>

I, for one felt a deep sense of sadness when I heard the news.<br><br>Even us "Fighting Sioux" fans realize what Herb Brooks meant to not only Minnesota hockey ... but also NHL, Olympic, NCAA and International play.<br><br>I hope he's upstairs with the almighty, playing the game he loved so much with John Mariucci and those other great ambassadors to the game of hockey.<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> - "God bless his soul!"<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
