I have a new group on MSN that I am trying to get started again. It has been harder to get information on him since he retired, but I do know he is playing lots of golf and lives in Palm Desert.

He also loves Vegas, which to Mallard should be no big suprise!

I have articles, photos, bio, stats, links to other sites etc. on there. Feel free to check it out.

That check please commercial was hillarious...

[oatesfan]

Kariya and Ranger,

Thanks. I like the commercials too. I wish I could find the ones he did when he was a Bruin. I remember him doing a few for a furniture store called Rodman's and a few for a limo company.

Steph,

Yes, the "loose rebounds" commercial? I love that one! I personally would NEVER tell Adam he was off-sides!!!

Do you remember your night with Adam at the black jack table? I loved your story about sitting next to him that night... OMG....

good work

[oatesfan]

good work

Thanks! I haven't had anything to update on it for about a month though. I wish he'd start playing golf professionally or something! It would make my life of having a group on him a lot easier..

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to post that I have some new information on my Adam Oates site. I FINALLY found some information on his lacrosse career before he made it to the NHL.

His stats are just as amazing in lacrosse as they are in hockey! I am desperately looking for any pictures of him playing lacrosse! If anyone has any ideas or knows more about lacrosse teams in Canada and how to find them, please let me know.

here's the site again: http://groups.msn.com/AdamOates/_whatsnew.msnw

Tell me what you all think... Be honest too..

I am really trying to get it going but haven't had too much luck in that department. Plus, its a lot harder to find out information on him now that he's retired and playing golf all the time.

Yikes! Watch your step folks ... it's very damp in here ...

[Kariya9]

Hehe.

Well good luck to Oatsie in Golf and Lacrosse.

[MrsBevo]

Poor guy. In our house he'll forever be known as "Poopy" because of his attitude. Never found him to be warm or friendly, although I'm sure he has his moments.

On the other hand, I've had nothing but good experiences with Kariya and others have reported otherwise. I guess it's luck of the draw.

My favorite memory of Oatsie was also at Casino Night, I told him to "go away" since I had lost three rounds of craps. Later, I had apologized, and even joked that I told four other players to go away when I was on my hot streak.

NOT TO WORRY!! WE WILL WELCOME YOU NO MATTER HOW YOU GOT HERE!!!

That's too funny! I wonder what Adam thought of that?! I bet he doesn't here "go away" very often.... Mallard's story of her night next to Adam at the blackjack table was just too funny. She has got to repost it here for everyone to read! I can't even remember all the wording she used with the exception of when she had 2 cards totaling 16 and she thought she should hit and Adam told her to stay and she asks "really?" and he winked, smiled and said "trust me".. OMG

Hum... something to the effect of "does he know what he does to women when he does that!?" and "I can die happy, stick a fork in me, I am done!"... Steph, help me out here...

[oatesfan]

Want to hear irony? Since I was a kid I liked the Mighty Ducks movies and always played the NHL games on sega and nintendo with my older brother. I was ALWAYS the Boston Bruins and Adam Oates was my favorite player. In real life I didn't watch much hockey and didn't even know what Adam Oates looked like.

Anyway, I became an obsessed Ducks/hockey fan the season after Oates was part of the team. Talk about being a day late and a dollar short.

Loopsfan- That's not as bad as this one..... I was already a Bruins fan, albeit a new one; this was 1992. I was at my favorite card shop and the owner always saved Bruins cards for me because I always spent a good amount of money each time I went. Well one day I walk in and he has a huge stack of cards for me to go through, then he says "here, I know you going to want this one." and its a card of a guy in a St. Louis Blues uniform... I'm like, "whose that?" and he just looks at me with a blank stare of disbelief

He says "Adam Oates" and I say "Who?" and he says, "You never heard of Hull N' Oates" and I said "don't you mean "Hall and Oates?" and he's like shaking his head... "uh, NO, Hull N' Oates", the dynamic duo in hockey.. These guys were incredible together." I said "were?" and he says, "yeah, Adam just got traded to Boston, that should make you and every Bruins fan very happy!"

I was completely clueless! Of course, later on, once learning about who Adam was and what an incredible playmaker he was, I was VERY happy to have him on the Bruins. But man that was pretty pathetic

"Here's Your Sign".... no wait MY SIGN!!!

I wish someone could find those commercials he did for Rodman's Furniture in Boston.. Those were soooo funny!! He also did one for a limo company in Boston and of course the ones he did in DC were very cool too!
