Ron Hextall is the favorite hockey player of quote a few of us, but what about Charles Barkley? The Philadelphia 76ers legend, now one of the most entertaining folks in sports media, Barkley made hockey news this week by saying that the NHL playoffs are blowing the NBA playoffs out of the water in the excitement department.

We’ll agree, of course. After those comments, Barkley was invited to talk on NHL Network, and he made a fun revelation in that interview: Hextall is also his favorite player, and he found his love of hockey while he played in Philadelphia during the mid-late 1980s and 1990s.
