Re: Castrol contingency
 

Hey Ed, long story short I made it down from 70 contestants to the final 10 who got to shoot. Three shooters ahead of me got it in, I hit the friggin post!

And the stupidly ironic part is during warm-ups for my Sunday morning league game I took the same shot with a goalie in the net.....that one hit the post and went in!

"Guy LaFleur, that's a hockey name. That's gotta be French for "wolf" or something".

Re: Castrol contingency
 

Maybe you can get some help from Rosival.La Fleur is flower in french.Want a real hockey name?
Anybody remember Pierre Pilote?Not sure ,Bruins or Chicago Blackhawks.Started going to games at the old Garden (50th St) 6 team league,no backup goalie just a house goalie.Anyone know who the house goalie was at the old Garden?Only one penalty box too.Better hockey than todays ice capade players.
Kinda like old S/SS then and now.

That was a line from some beer commercial from the 90's staring the MacKenzie Brothers.

And Roszival help me? I think you're a bit mistaken; Rozy is used to being useless at the point. I was shooting from further out. Maybe if Uncle Daddy wasn't wounded he could have given me some pointers for shooting from behind the opposite goal line. I think he lives in that neighborhood too.

Ed,

Pierre Plante played for the Hawks for a while. You might've been thinking of Jacques Plante who played for the B's for one year after a great career with Montreal, Toronto and the Rangers.

Doug;
Pierre Pilote played for the Blackhawks in the 50s into the late 60s I think.He was a defenseman,his line partner was Elmer "Moose" Vasco.Boy I'm feeling old now.BTW the house goalie for the Garden was
Joe Schaeffer.5' tall 5' wide.Gump Worsley started his career as house goalie,as did Eddie Giacomin.They actually were called emergency goalies.

Re: Castrol contingency
 

If memory serves wasn't Gump the last goalie to play without a mask? Played for the North Stars i think.

Re: Castrol contingency
 

Next to last Doug.Andy Brown played for the Red Wings and Penguins.His last game without mask was in 1974.

Re: Castrol contingency
 

Doug or Billy P (since you guys seem to be the resident B's fans)....how many of those obnoxious #$^%&* Canadians fans raid your arena when their team comes to town? My dad said they should build a fence at the border to keep them out, but I disagree. The only thing that keeps them a peg above Islanders fans is that they bring smoking hot girls with them.

Valvoline!!

With all the decals I'm pulling off......I may have to get my car painted! Anyone know Bucky's number???

Re: Castrol contingency
 

Mike, there are always a big group of those Canadian fans attending. Let them, it makes for some added entertainment during the games.

Bryan, it seems like there will be a lot more decal free cars out there. Hopefully the list will see more additions before the season starts.
