Hey, the all-stars thought he's so good it was no fair to ever pick him. You had to be stuck with him for it to count.<br /><br />I'll be shocked if we win tonight. Horrible opponent, low-stakes game, no one is showing up. Well, maybe Squid and Mexican. And Giant who always does. <br /><br />BTW, still complaining about Gomez? Still think you want him off the team?

Bouchard got quite a bit of ice time as I recall, Lupien not so much (and when he did get on the ice, he usually ended up in the penalty box for 5 minutes.) I can't remember the combos - course in those days I mostly listened to the games on the radio, and it was just a string of names handling the puck. When I watched on TV, I was mostly watching the Flower power and the Big Bird, not to mention #12. I wasn't really paying too much attention in those days to defensive combos.Le Douzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14574957309865668100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320624876513568183.post-91244928000730438282011-04-07T10:08:02.713-04:002011-04-07T10:08:02.713-04:00He was one, Bill Nyrop was the one I was thinking ...He was one, Bill Nyrop was the one I was thinking of.

Markov,maybe. So, Large 2.5 perhaps?<br /><br />Can anybody remember who used to play defence with the Big Three? They used to only use 4 maybe 5 D-men back in those days.
