WILL WORK FOR HOCKEY SWEATER

Consider this my roadside sign:

Tonight, it’s the New York Islanders taking it to the crossriver rival Rangers … and no, Jim, I won’t be wearing the Red Wings jersey you gave me at Ann Arbor when I spoke at the round table. 🙂

A sad and disillusioning moment it was. Thankfully I wasn’t there, but I remember watching the TV coverage when I came home from school one weekend. I’ve been angry all morning just remembering it. Idiots.

That’s very cool.

Dave Schultz actually wasn’t that bad of a player. There were several times when he actually scored 20 goals in a season. But, he will always be remembered as the NHL’s greatest enforcer. That’s part of the reason why we loved the Flyers so much. 🙂

The only hockey team I’ve ever deeply, passionately cared about was the old Salem (later Roanoke Valley) Rebels of the ECHL and later the Southern Hockey League. The Rebels began life in the 1970s as a Flyer affiliate–Salem is where Dave Schultz learned goondom–and later while I was in high school brilliantly cut a deal with the WHA’s Philly Blazers/Vancouver Blazers/Calgary Cowboys. Their logo was–what else–a Confederate flag in the shape of a maple leaf. So there’s another if lamented ACW-related hockey team for you.

I hope you guys out there do work it out so that he can attend a meeting of your Round Table. That would be great.

Steve:

And then maybe we can also persuade a member of the NYC RT who went to college in southern Ohio to also attend. 🙂
