Might as well try for perfection, right? I know this is a bit delayed, but I finally remembered the movie quote that would apply here. Rob Schneider in The Waterboy. “You can do it!” Feel free to enter the GIF in a response. I can’t seem to get it to load. Quote
Sparty Posted March 12 Posted March 12 10 hours ago, Irishman said: I admit, I am not a huge viewer of hockey, mostly because I was raised in the Chicago market and very few “nationally” televised games/hockey TV channels/packages. The owner of the Blackhawks would blackout home games (IMSC) and I wouldn’t even think to put a hockey game on when I could. But I do have amazing, center ice tickets (maybe 10-15 rows off the class) when The Great One played for the Rangers in Chicago. So close, one of the people I went with tried to catch an errant puck and we had to leave bc he dislocated a couple fingers trying to one hand the puck. I just remember thinking Wayno was a man amongst boys in the NHL! He was a magician. SOOOO FAST and SMOOTH. Quote
Sparty Posted March 12 Posted March 12 And the stats you provide, prove it. Thanks for sharing. Hockey is an amazing game that I (100% on me) need to view and learn more about. We are lucky to have Eddie O in the Chicago market for a lot and he does a great job explaining. 1 Quote

A big thrill for me was having great seats to see The Great One play when he was with the Kings. So smooth on the ice...just stood out as a skater. He scored and got an assist that night. Was also fun to watch his pal that followed him from the Oilers to the Kings serve as his protector/enforcer...Marty McSorley. Hard to believe Gretzky started his professional hockey career for the Indianapolis Racers. Edited March 12 by Bash Riprock 1 Quote

Eddie O is with Seattle's broadcast team now. Left when Pat Foley retired. But yes, he is the best at breaking the game down. Quote

Irishman Posted March 18 Author Posted March 18 The Netflix series on this team is interesting to watch. So many bad characters and they still played at such a high level. 1 Quote

Bash Riprock Posted May 2 Posted May 2 (edited) Anniversary of Nolan Ryan’s 7th no hitter. He was 44 years old and had 16Ks that game. Incredible! https://x.com/Super70sSports/status/2050298768403165270/video/1?s=46 Edited May 2 by Bash Riprock 1 Quote
Irishman Posted May 8 Author Posted May 8 Fun to watch, but as any Cubs fan knows, we are always waiting for the crash to reality. 🙂 But this is pretty cool. On a side note, that scoreboard is the one that sits higher up in center field today. Quote
