you sound like your older than even me...do you remember the riot in montreal when clarence campbell suspended rocket richard? goalies before masks? and tim horton was just a rookie?

I thought how could I forget that? WELL I was only 5 years old at the time (just looked up when it was) growing up in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan and I just remember watching hockey night in Canada with my parents and players didn't wear helmets. So, you always knew who they were. Guy Lafleur became my favourite player when I was young. I was guessing when I said there were only six teams in the league but I am sure there were only that many when I started to watch hockey. I was 7 years old when I played hockey on back door rinks in the Prairies. I was the GOALIE because I played with my brother and his friends and they were two years older and they said I was too slow to play any other position. It was pretty funny now I think about that story.

You went to my page and clicked on the 'follow member' and then then on the 'follow' button in the new window that popped up? To make me visible, you have to un-click the 'let others see I follow member'. Is there a notification on your profile that you've started following me? That's usually the confirmation that you have.

Mikael Granlund is more suited for the wing IMO. He still a decent 2C but he is capable of so much more. He was the best player at the WHC this year and should have won MVP of the tournament. Unfortunately I don't think the Canucks can afford to give up what Minnesota would want for a player of that caliber.

You leave me alone, @ShakyWalton!

during an andy moog roast, daryl reaugh said, that moog was the michael jackson of hockey. when asked why, he said, because they both wear one glove for no apparent reason.

sorry, my computer won't let me answer your last post. i love the potential we have in horvat, virtanen, boeser and even granlund. most of our forwards haven't proved anything yet, even sutter who was injured so much...the proof will come when the sedins retire..i can see them being resigned for an extra year or two if we can't replace them.

I haven't read it yet, Breslin admitted altering the quote for the book, but he's a writer so... I might pick it up if I want a laugh:
Then, in the bottom half of that inning, Marv whacked what appeared to be a triple.
“As usual, Marv had that wonderful running action,” Breslin wrote.
But Throneberry didn’t touch first; then he didn’t touch second. He hitched up his belt and listened to the crowd cheer for him.
Ernie Banks called for the ball at first base, stepped on the bag, and Throneberry was called out.
“I can still see his face,” Breslin said. “Stengel thought he was crazy.”
