... let me try and clue you in:
I dont think the habs gave a darn about the Kings! Just like they didnt care about the Oilers or Jets etc,
They only cared about the Bruins, Flyers, Nordiques etc.
This might be another difficult concept.
in 81 or 82 (maybe even 83) I was watching at the Forum from the blueline as Messier lifted his foot (which he liked to do when he wasabout to drop pass) as he crossed the line and dropped the puck to Gretzky who took 2 steps and rifled a shot top shelf on herron. A bullet.
I looked up and said ":Nice shot" and went back to doing my homework!
Why?
because the Bruins were in the next night and the Nords on saturday......
And that was war, my friend.
You really have no idea ..how Lafleur took shots in the head from milbury night after night. I read he took 30 stitches to the face over the 77 finals. There's a famous picture of him holding the cup and applying an icepack to his face at teh same time.
No bodyguards - you fought your battles. Lupien was there if Jonathan ran Lafelur which he wouldnt do. Johnathan or Wensink ran Bouchard or Lupien only not the stars.
You didnt watch so...you come up with paper arguments..............
Thats why I respect Orr, Lemieux and not Dionne, Chicarelli as much. ok?
