@LunchpailHockey @burnsieoriginal Yeah, in the '60s, Mark—but the Rangers broke my heart, and Cournoyer's, and defeated the Canadiens in 73-74, when Dryden sat out. I wrote all about it, in fiction. Still recovering. https://t.co/bN2bX52D6d

@SayItIsSoJoe Going out on 5 consecutive Stanley Cups is not a bad way to go out.

[Pete McCormack @PeteMcCormack2]

@KevinMcGilly @SayItIsSoJoe They won a few cups together. Must have been a fun run, '56-'60. Every year that team had 8 or 9 HHoFers.

@Martina @figment4 European tennis players are often fantastic at football! Nadal can catch a tennis ball on his foot. Ridiculous. Btw, Martina, at some Oscar party in the '90s, full of Hollywood stars, I saw you & got to tell you how inspiring you are as a person and champion. It made my night.

[Pete McCormack @PeteMcCormack2]

@Martina That Navratilova ain't bad either. Was it 203 or 204 Wimbledon titles in a row? Plus she's got courage.

[Pete McCormack @PeteMcCormack2]

@burnsieoriginal That's a canonating photo, man.

@DavidGogoBlues Beautiful - and deserved. As Mark Twain once wrote, more or less, "I can live a few months on a good compliment."

[Pete McCormack @PeteMcCormack2]

@SayItIsSoJoe @GeofferyKehrig Btw, @GeofferyKehrig is all over obscure hockey trivia, players and teams—so he is absolutely trustworthy. Plus he may know more about the Cleveland Barons than anybody on Earth.

[Pete McCormack @PeteMcCormack2]

@SayItIsSoJoe @GeofferyKehrig Joe! Excited for you to read. Cournoyer, the Canadiens, the '70s... you may suffer a sudden rise in acute nostalgia and longing for a different time — and big memories.

@Bigbossman9900 @SayItIsSoJoe Would Guy's offensive talent have been enough to stop Gilles Meloche from getting 90 shots a game.

[Pete McCormack @PeteMcCormack2]

@SayItIsSoJoe Possibly my favourite year—I'm 8, Montreal takes the Cup before Dryden leaves (inspiration for my novel 25 years later) and Cournoyer wins the Conn Smythe.

[Pete McCormack @PeteMcCormack2]

@SayItIsSoJoe It's 1968-69, and in seven years, Ed will flatten Kharlamov, and Bob Cole will yell, "They're going home. The Russians are going home!"

[Pete McCormack @PeteMcCormack2]

@SayItIsSoJoe Gordie and Doug, at this point, had 41 seasons between them. And to think Gordie still had about 12 left.

[Pete McCormack @PeteMcCormack2]

@SayItIsSoJoe In Seth's only NHL season, one of the great international goalies of all-time—not to mention being a Trail BC firefighter, a world champion and owner of a sports shop—posted a .914 save percentage. Not too bad.

[Pete McCormack @PeteMcCormack2]

@oldhockeycards Come on now, I'm from the '70s. I can name the Bruin, of course, all four Rangers and seven people in the crowd.

[Pete McCormack @PeteMcCormack2]

@oldhockeycards What kind of question is that! There's no one like him. The only thing missing is his cigarette and a beer.

[Pete McCormack @PeteMcCormack2]

@burnsieoriginal Fantastic shot. In small towns, the net's in the middle of the road. Burnsie, for what it's worth... Mustang bikes, no helmets, skipping school... A Different Kind of Freedom https://t.co/oOyGs3q7LT
