from the Toronto Sun,

In what was billed as likely the last full gathering of the 1967 champions, the outspoken Shack used his five minutes at the podium last night to praise patient Leafs fans and rail against those who have run the team through the second-longest Cup skid in NHL history.
“It’s been 40 years ... are you going to call them the Toronto Next Years?” Shack bellowed to a crowd of 900 at the Metro Convention Centre, which included Leafs general manager John Ferguson. “Isn’t that a bunch of bullsh—?”

Old School- The Richard Riot

On St. Patty’s day, 1955, this took place…

On March 17, 1955, thousands of crazed hockey fans in the Montreal Forum went on a seven-hour rampage of destruction and looting that ended in many injuries and the arrest of 100 fans. In later years, the free-for-all euphemistically became known as “The Richard Riot.” The other team on the ice happened to be the Detroit Red Wings.

I posted this a year ago today and thought some old school KK readers may enjoy it again.

Renew My Faith

During my appearance on The Crazy Canucks podcast last night, I brought up the name Ron Duguay, thinking it would start some conversation.
Well, it went over like a lead balloon, pure silence- Then I remembered the age of the folks involved in the podcast.  No one knew who Duguay was, except one person stated he might have made a guest appearance o 90210!
Someone has to have a Duguay story, even a Carol Alt story will do… help, I am feeling older by the minute.
