NHL Season 2018-19

Completely off topic...


When I played I used #21 because of Stan Makita


I have just 1 autograph from a famous person and that's Stan Mikita. I was 14 years old and had gone to the Chicago Stadium to see the Hawks play. I went to the concession stand for a snack and got tapped on the shoulder by the guy in line behind me. It was Stan Mikita and he said he liked the jersey I was wearing - which was, of course, #21. He offered to autograph it for me and I happily accepted.

I told him that one of the most memorable experiences in my life was seeing him score his 500th career goal and hearing the ROAR of the stadium crowd that went on for several minutes.

I still have the jersey hanging in my closet but it hasn't fit since I weighed more than 98 lbs somewhere around 10th grade.

Seeing that in the old Barn is just epic, what an awesome memory to have!

Ha! I'm from LA originally. I'm a Kings fan, but we hate the Habs as bad as the Bs do.

If the Blues play Bortuzzo again in Game Seven, I'm sure he'll be feeling SLIGHT pressure against the boards. That parting shot on Acciari was Marchand-esque, in the bad way.
There's been some gooning. Marchand needs to keep his head in the game too. That slew foot garbage is Western League type crap
 
Box score shows where it's at...

The pinnacle of professional sports will be once again presented to us this Wednesday at 5:00PM PDT.
Arrange your affairs accordingly.
I'll be in a fancy hotel in Orlando, Florida.

Nothing like a game 7 in the Stanley Cup final. Just like in the song. Should be a Good Ole Hockey Game! If Rask plays like that again, St. Louis may have an issue.....
