since when did cops stop carrying batons and night sticks?...start bouncing a few skulls, they’ll clear out PDQ. Chicago 1968 is your template, guys...i still watch that from time to time. Was glorious.
NY Islanders set a record that will never be broken..19 straight playoff series wins. A team will have to be going for their 5th straight Cup to beat that mark. Took another great dynasty, Edmonton Oilers, to beat them..

oh..just spectacular..dont ya just love 1-0 games. Run and run...then walk and walk...and then run and run..and then walk and walk...as for faking a injury, NBA and British soccer are neck and neck.
i gotta say, the Toronto situation is simply astounding..i mean their last Cup was 1967..and not even close since. Toronto is a mecca for hockey and to go that long without a Championship..makes you just shake your head.

sadly, i never got to hear Foster Hewitt, but all agree he was the example they all followed. I personally thought the Canadian guys were so much better, although there were also great American anonncers as well...

i know most people here wont “get this”..but to the lucky ones that grew up near the Canadian border, we got to hear the great Canadian Hockey announcers. Danny Gallivan, Don Wittman.Ward Cornell. And now Bob Cole has passed away. Saturday Night watching HNIC was the best. End of an era...the guys today cant hold a match to these guys..they were the best.
