https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/former-canucks-head-coach-travis-green-says-coaching-in-canadian-market-was-amazing/ More than a year and a half since he was fired from the role of head coach of the Vancouver Canucks, Travis Green is reflecting back on his time fondly. Joining Sportsnet 650's Halford and Brough in the Morning on Friday, Green was asked if Vancouver was a tough market to coach in. "I mean everyone says it is, and yeah, at times it can be," said Green. "That goes with the job (and) comes with the passion in Canada. I wouldn't trade it in for the world, I'm grateful for my years in Vancouver. At times the media part is challenging, it's more challenging than it is in the States and a lot of different areas, but that comes with also the great parts of coaching in Canada." Green, a former NHL player, was announced as an associate coach for the New Jersey Devils this off-season, joining head coach Lindy Ruff's staff as a replacement for Andrew Brunette. The 52-year-old spent five seasons with the Canucks, leading the team to a 133-147-34 record. He was fired during the first half of the 2021-22 season and was replaced by the now-fired Bruce Boudreau. "I was fortunate to play in Canada as well, and there's nothing better as a player when there's so much passion within your city to win," said Green. "... How bad the fans want to win and how they rally behind a team. That's the give-and-take with everything. There's nothing like playing hockey in Canada — obviously, I'm a proud Canadian, I grew up in B.C. — and to coach and play in Canada for me was amazing." When asked if Green had any theory as to why no Canadian teams have won the Stanley Cup since 1993, he offered instead his belief that it just comes down to coincidence. "I don't think there's anything else to it, but obviously, people are going to talk about it. I'm sure it happens sooner rather than later, but I won't be rooting for that now (working for the Devils)."

Wrestlers are some of the toughest SOB's around especially back in the earlier days. Some of the stories about Meng's toughness outside of the ring are scary. Bobby Heenan once said the only 2 people in the world Andre the Giant was afraid of was Meng and Harley Race. The pounding they put their bodies thru is insane. I liken watching wrestling to any other thing on TV or the movies except they get hurt for real. And then there is crazy.......on a side note Roddy Piper called me once on the phone to give me advise(Kitty's advice) about getting kids to eat better (his daughter was the same age) Kiitty's one hint that worked was celery dipped in salsa.
