What a puck collection!
To see the Gumper and Eddie G brings back a lot of memories.
The Rangers brought in a tough guy named Bert Wilson to deal with Shero's street gang. Somewhere on youtube there is a clip of him knocking one of the Flyer apes out cold with Bill Chadwick roaring about what a going over he'd given him.
Was also watching the night O'Reilly went into the stands. Made a lifelong hockey fan out of my girlfriend's 10 year old brother who couldn't believe what he was seeing. I always thought marauding through the stands like that and taking on all comers was a real good way to get a hole put in you.
Carol Vadnais: While he was in Boston Bill Chadwick used to say -"you don't have to take the puck from Vadnais, he'll give it to you." Think that was one of those trades that took the fans of both cities a long time to warm up to.
Again, a great collection!!
