Toronto Maple Leafs Win Eleventh Stanley Cup

Game six , Montreal Canadians- Toronto Maple Leafs

 

Baun, Horton, Shack, Armstrong, Bower, Keon, the big M, Bill Hewitt announcing. Three people have announced Hockey night in Canada, Foster Hewitt, Bill Hewitt, Bob Cole. First hockey game was broadcast via telephone, 1923 by Foster.

Notice the players, no helmets, Gump Worsley no mask, notice the lack of big shoulder pads, fans able to see players faces clearly. Wood sticks, Makita at the time one of very few to use curved blade. Very few used slapshot. It was how the game should be played. Interestingly Leafs of this time used tactic that later became knows as the trap. Devils hardly invented it. Still players played the game hard , but with sticks down, hitting hard but with respect for each other.

Not necessarily, some might leave the glof course early to watch the parade in Buffalo and try to get close to it then. You know the fans will be doing the same, converting after their season is over and the playoffs start, they'll switch over to the Sabres and act as if they were always a favorite. :angry:

what golf courses, you can't play golf in the snow, you lose track of the ball too quickly, and the seals like to steal them. We have to cross the border to play. :P

I knew someone would take the bait. Good job.

 

Edit: Makes more sense when I don't type the wrong word. Changed to pink.

A Canadian guy is walking down the street with a case of beer under his arm.

 

His friend Randy stops him and asks, "Hey Dave! Whatcha got that case of beer for?"

 

"Well, I got it for my wife, you see?" answers Dave.

 

"Wow," exclaims Randy, "Great trade."
