I remember going to games in ’94 after he came back from playing in Frankfurt. There were charter flights full of hundreds of rowdy Germans in the nosebleeds who came just to see him. The chants were amazing. I mean a lot of them were just « ROOO-BERT REI-CHEL! » *stomp stomp stompstompstomp* nonstop whenever he was on the ice, but it was still great.

Oh hell ya, he was good! I have that card too. I don’t think he ever missed a penalty shot in his career too.

He scored the only
shootout goal to eliminate Canada en route to a gold medal victory for the Czech Republic at the 1998 Winter Olympics.

When you’re as old as me (37), I’d be shocked if you didn’t remember him

The blade of his stick was like a corkscrew.
