Back in the Day



Many of you probably don't remember Chris Stewart's first glimpse of fame prior to his NHL days with the Colorado Avalanche (pictured far left). I would like to remind all of you that he was an Actor first. Some of you may remember that he was in the movie Roll Bounce. Roll Bounce was the story of a roller dance team from the south side of Chicago. This group of roller skaters is led by Xavier (played by Mr. Wow) into competition against the Sweetwater Rollers and the superstar of Chicago roller skating, Sweetness (played by Mr. Nick Cannon).
Every Avs fan should take a minute and watch this feel good film set in 1978 Chicago while we are waiting for the Sharks.

Man, I can't wait to check that out. I'm glad this wasn't a rollerblade movie, or I'd be losing some respect. Does this make Stewie about 44?

Actually makes Stewie like 19.
Jesus, that dude does look quite a bit like him though...

What do you got against RollerBlading? I'm planning on sashaying my way down one of those Cherry Creek bike paths this weekend on a pair....

CC bike path is the only place to go blading. I imagine 30PT has to dodge them all the time while riding to work on nice days.
