He's as good as Gretzky and has Dutch roots.

 

[hardcorehabs]

During the last lockout he played in a Dutch hockey league and put up 48 points in 19 games lol. 22 of them goals.

I'm guessing the sekac thread that turned into a crosby vs gretzky thread?

Dale Weise has a dutch background. He's as good as Wayne Gretzky.

I thought weise was jewish last name, if I'm not mistaken.

Dutch comes from playing in the Dutch league during the.lockout, and playing as this league's superstar.

This basically was some.sort of.. Epiphany for Weise. It reminded him of what he loved so much about the game, and that he wanted to be more than a 4th line goon in the NHL.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Well, as long as he doesn't completely forget to goon it up sometimes I guess it's fine by me

From his great ability to pass off wooden shoes.

 

[JLP]

His hands are like windmills

You mean Gordie Gretzky.

 

[SquiddFX]

Because he is the second greatest player of all time.

 

[RealCity]

He played for the Destil Trappers in the Dutch league, Jacques Martin would be a perfect fit as coach on that team.

Dale Weise stuck his chin out for us last night.

I was wondering where that name came from

 

[Shutdown]

It was bestowed upon him at the time of his birth.

 

[Agnostic]

Isn't a Dutch Gretzky a situation when you fart under the covers, then flap the sheets to make your wife gag... while watching Coaches Corner?

 

[Inkling]

When it comes to hockey, he's very gouda.
