Back in 2011, I wrote about Sweet Daddy Siki's time in the service as the Korean War ended. Earlier this year his son discovered these photos from his father's time there. #WeRemember More Siki treasures to come from @Heritage_Sport soon! https://t.co/XsbFWtXvpq

I get to work with the archives of @sportthemag on a regular basis, a true joy for someone like me ... The two worlds combine as there's an excerpt from my book with @DougMaclean, Game Day: The Uncensored Life of an NHL GM, on the SPORT Magazine website: https://t.co/duIc9WL9HP

I showed them two of my bestsellers, Game Day with @DougMaclean and Don't Call Me Goon with Richard Kamchen. Which one do you think Slap Shot players would want to read first?

[Greg Oliver @gregmep]

I got to share a few laughs with Slap Shot's Johnny Upton (Allan Nicholls) and Dave "Killer" Carlson (Jerry Houser) at the @sportcardexpo. They'll be there on Sunday too -- conveniently right across from my booth @ 8809! Come say hi!

[Greg Oliver @gregmep]

What a whirlwind of a couple of days at the @sportcardexpo selling books, unique things from the collections of Johnny Powers & Sweet Daddy Siki, & so many other cool things. We are at Tables 8809, 8810, in Hall 4, right beside the autograph lines. Come say hi on Sat. or Sun.!

[Greg Oliver @gregmep]

Our table location at this weekend's @sportcardexpo was confirmed today. Come find me with my books and my friends Jian & Page Magen with all their cool collectibles and autographs at Tables 8809, 8810, in Hall 4, between the autograph lines and the eBay stage.

It's fall and hockey books are filling up our bookshelves. In my latest Society for International Hockey Research (SIHR) column, I talk with Eric Zweig about "The Mammoth Book of Hockey Trivia" which came out earlier this month from @FireflyBooks. https://t.co/R6rQQGFKqP

[Greg Oliver @gregmep]

I've got a couple of appearances coming up to sell some books. Here's one upcoming at the Cambridge (ON) Sports Card & Collectibles Expo on Sat. Nov. 21. Free admission and parking at this one. Come say hi!

[Greg Oliver @gregmep]

@Liams_Hockey @expomick Thanks for sharing that story, Liam. I could have gone on longer, of course. (Hint, hint, Mick ... heard from Jeff Rimer in Florida who heard it too.) There are so many oldtimers who deserve it, and many that make me scratch my head. Don Cherry most of all should be in.

[Greg Oliver @gregmep]

@MikePWInsider That column by @POW2112 is truly hilarious. The irony of @slamwrestling calling out @PWInsidercom about Mike Johnson rightfully protecting its scoops, when Slam hasn't had a scoop since I left. All it does is aggregate.

[Greg Oliver @gregmep]

How bout that?! "Game Day: The Uncensored Life of an NHL GM " which I wrote with @DougMaclean is debuting on the @TorontoStar's Canadian Non-Fiction bestseller list! You can learn more about the book at my website, and you can buy it everywhere! https://t.co/SYWs5R7Np3

My column at the Society for International Hockey Research where I interviewed him: https://t.co/TPMeHVfePs

[Greg Oliver @gregmep]

Andre Lacroix, the WHA all-time leading scorer, has died. Reading his book & interviewing him for my column gave me a greater appreciation for the WHA & how overlooked the accomplishments of the players are there. Lacroix and Marc Tardif should both be in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

@LuFisto Me too! From the same event in Hamilton, if I remember correctly. It is a fun film.

[Greg Oliver @gregmep]

In my latest Society for International Hockey Research column, I talk with @MatthewWalthert about his incredibly-researched book "Scotty Davidson: The Extraordinary Life and Mysterious Death of Canada’s Forgotten Hockey Hero" from @sutherlandbooks. https://t.co/NdmYqqmQCr

[Chris Oliver @BBallImmersion]
