Chris Simon Incident
editThe 1997 Chris Simon racial slur incident needs to be mentioned in this article. Rpgman456 15:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Both this article and the Chris Simon entry cite an ESPN article (https://www.espn.com/nhl/news/story?id=2792516) as a source, and mention that Simon hit Grier with his stick. However, the source article mentions two separate altercations, one where Simon allegedly used a racial slur against Grier, and one in which Simon struck Ryan Hollweg in the face with his stick. I can find no sources or footage that support Simon having hit Grier with his stick. I've edited the article to reflect this. -Starfish, 21 March 2024
Famous Uncle
editWhy is there no mention of Mike's famous Uncle. In the Rosey Grier entry is says:
"One of twelve children, Grier was named after Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was governor of New York at the time and was elected president later that year.[2] He is also cousin of actress Pam Grier and uncle of National Hockey League player Mike Grier."
Rosey has watched his nephew play hockey - I remember it being noted that he was at one of the games - so it is not like they don't know each other. 24.77.84.175 (talk) 23:17, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
What a stud
editHow can you not like how this dude plays? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.60.196.211 (talk) 19:03, May 5, 2007
- Well Grier was a class act his whole career. He was a credit to the U.S. hockey development system for his toughness, perseverance, skill and sportsmanship. It would've been nice to see him get a Stanley Cup ring in 2006 with the Sabres as they marched through the playoffs, but the damn Hurricanes got in the way.Ice is Nice14 (talk) 00:22, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Non-encyclopedic comments
edit"In the beginning there was Grier...and on the first day, Grier created the penalty kill, and it was good. On the second day, Grier created the short handed chance. It skittered harmlessly into the corner like a rolling egg, but it was still good."
On August 10, 2009, Grier signed with the Buffalo Sabres thus three years later marking his resurrection. To many theologians of Sabres fandom, Grier unequivocally answers the question, "Is there a god?" Yes. He is a black man from Michigan who likes long walks on the beach and killing penalties. Next question please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.148.241.222 (talk) 04:45, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
