    Thanks for the clarification, Ben.

    Damn- Hall, Plante, Sawchuck and Worsley. I wish I had seen the NHL in that era.

    Terry was great, too. And gone, too soon.

    Watch Orr feed Magnuson a few.
     
  4. Tremendous get, Flash.
    As I've said, Orr is the only exception I make in my lifelong Habs-love.

    Loved seeing Nesterenko in that clip.

    One of the smartest guys to ever play the game.

    Probably because Magnuson's presence made the most of the rest of the Hawks play tougher. Mikita and B. Hull always showed up pre-Magnuson, not so everyone else. Plus, that SI cover would have been Orr had the Bruins won the East, but the Hawks got the title on the last night of the season.

    Only time they ever finished first . . . in the last year of the Original Six.

    Not a big Maggie guy. Took cheap shots . . . and everyone in the league who was a average fighter, or better, had their way with him.
    It's no coincidence they never won a Cup with him.

    You used Google after Ben asked us not to! Cheater!

    OK, that does it! Secord Sucks!

    But Eric Nesterenko did not suck. Ben got me curious. He's led quite the life.

    Yeah, I probably veered into fanboi hyperbole by saying Magnuson didn't play dirty. So it goes. Like a lot of Blackhawk fans, I'm still a little giddy as the Post-Dollar Bill Era continues to take shape. It's great to see former players involved with the team again and/or receiving accolades.

    Secord sucks? Now who would say a thing like that? ;)

    To be fair, Secord wasn't convicted in a court of law of what Dino was in Minnesota.

    But Secord still sucks.

    Secord's ok, but I suck, apparently. The Pilote/Magnuson ceremony is Wednesday, not tonight. :p

    You are not alone. I can't imagine having to live with something like that.
