Made it to Quebec City when I covered the Kings. When the cabbie realized me and another writer didn't speak French, he was less than friendly. He made a fast turn and we slid down a hill sideways. When we told him to take us to the media entrance at Le Colisee, he dropped us on the wrong side. He had to walk halfway around the arena in the snow.

The other memorable thing was the locker rooms. They were on opposite sides of the rink. We finished with the Kings and wanted to go over to the Nordiques locker room. We asked the attendant how to get there, he pointed toward the door in the dasher boards. We walked right across the ice. It was nice I didn't fall on my ass.

The good ole days. Like, assaulting the Stairway to Heaven at the Spectrum. You needed a sherpa and a base camp.
 
Saw one game at Le Colisee: Rangers @ Nordiques, Jan. 3, 1987 (five weeks before Rendez-vous).

Five assists for Don Maloney, Bobby Carpenter's NYR debut.

They had a game-long raffle of Panasonic equipment. My friend and I did not speak French, so I like to think there's an unclaimed dust-covered turntable somewhere in the bowels of the arena.
 
I will cop to being a three on a good day.

Contrary to popular rumors, I cannot pop open a longneck with my cleavage.
