Nice..  a lot of people don't know hockey and do not appreciate it.   So much better in person than on TV...

Back when i was much younger and had more hair...I raced at Hawthorne in the Jan-Feb meet and raced at Blue Bonnets one winter also, so i got to see some of what was left of the Big 12 teams playing. Having been to MSG, Chicago Stadium, The Olympia, MLG and The Forum will be the memories that i have when hockey was a much less complicated and natural game...

Moe Larry and Cheese..... Remember what Gerry Cheevers nickname was ?

Cheesey, Espo, Doakie, Pie, Turk, Chief... Pie was a favorite of mine.  Little guy lots of hustle.

No it was not Hodge but Carol Vadnais a defenseman

We had this girl in my senior high school class we nicknamed "Vadnais".  God forgive me.

Spencer, any relation to the great announcer >  Used to get WWOR on cable in Atlanta.  Think I got YR every Tues Thurs and maybe Sat night !

No! LOL.. Name is harness related and a play on an  howard stern , who when doing the dating game on his radio show called himself Jim Lange Jr... Racing from Roosevelt was the impetus for my love of racing. Racing from Belmont with Dave Johnson, Charlsie Canty and Frank Wright was a fav as well.........

Because her name was Carol?
I once met a girl at a bar Yvonne.. Spent the whole night calling her Yvon Labre. Played for Wash and the Sabres I think.. When we saw a nice lookingf girl we would alert each other right in front of her in the following way....
Say she was ten feet to our left .. I'd say "Hey Stu To the left of Mikew Liut"" It was picked up from Dan Kelly Blues announcer

No because she looked like him. .

One of the last two books I read were Derek Sanderson's and Bobby Orr's biographies.  Sanderson's was good. Orr's was boring.  Couldn't say a bad word about anyone.

Who did Sanderson blast ?

[moelarrythecheese]

I don't remember.  What sticks out was all the shit he pulled and got away with without dying.

can't believe anyone other than me read Sanersons autobiography.. Loved the book.  Derek was so respectful and loving of his dad... He was crazy and daring .. book was awesome... Don Cherry book even better...  Grapes
