One of the more clever nicknames I've ever heard on HF. lol nice work.

Let's keep this series short and sweet.

Except that it’s a rip off.
Red light Racicot was a awful Habs goalie, @Drivesaitl mentioned it earlier

 

[VainGretzky]

I hope you didn’t have floor seats… just sayin. Unless you’re liking that sort of view.

I don't remember where I sat I remember being there and swinging off the rope on top of the stage to start the concert the rest I blame on the smoke-filled Colesium of weed clouded my memory lol

Oh the Drama FMS

1967 was a good year though. The debut albums from the Doors and Jimi Hendrix still stand out as classics some 57 years later. Wow, that does sound like a long time, doesn't it?

Edit-- Sgt. Pepper album was the same year--outstanding.

As a side note--Leafs won the cup that spring with a bunch of guys who were in their last hockey moments--- because the Canadiens were dismissive of them and forgot to show up for the series. Not much has happened since then.

What - no love for J Airplane / SS? JK!

My recollection is that I started to comprehend what I was watching when I was about 5 in 1970. Huge Hab fan cause my 6 older sibs and parents were al TO fans. Lately I'm convinced that the cups Toronto won in the 60's, or at least the 67 cup, was because Montreal let them!

 

[snipes]

Two of the best players in the league in a division match-up? Yeah, let's make sure it starts at 8:30-10:30 for a majority of hockey fans.

*8:50 - 10:50.

But yes, beyond stupid.

Gary has never cared about the star players or marketing the game. Parity is his goal, both for teams and players. Trying to drag everyone down to the same level is his goal.

 

[T-Funk]

Stupid schedule is stupid. 850MT on a Sunday is obscene.

Needed to ensure they had enough time for the afternoon big bonanza bingo. After all, anything has higher priority than hockey in SoCal.

When you read up on that 1967 series you realize that there were a lot of older guys on both clubs.

Montreal retooled in the next few years--adding the Mahovlich brothers, Mickey Redmond, Marc Tardif. Jacque Lemaire, Guy Lapointe and Ken Dryden. In 1970 the Canadiens also drafted a guy named Guy Lafleur. It set the stage for a great decade.

The Leafs, in contrast, never accumulated the same restocking and depth in the roster.

Watch some of that old footage from 1967 and it looks like smurfs compared to today's players. Look at the stats in that series and there were all kinds of guys who were less than 5 foot 10 inches and 170 pounds.

Hard to imagine those clubs playing against the NFL sized las Vegas Golden Knights of today.

Very true.
And yet - so much more violent

 

[yukoner88]

Lets hope that trend continues tonight. He's gonna have a chip on his shoulder we know that much.

And I'm going to be eating dill pickle chips

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Lets go,

 

[yukoner88]

If there's a possibility for it, I'd 1000% welcome a Cogliano return tour.

He's been an excellent defensive forward in this series against Winnipeg, and has been an absolute foot soldier for their penalty kill

 

[GrumpyKoala]

10:30 in the east.
Will 100% compromise, and go to work tired!

Heard the LSD was really good that year as well

 

[Pavel10]

Suspect we get a mcdavid goal breakout tonight. Kings d will probably feel the need to over commit to Hyman.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

The gentleman who tunes my daughter’s piano played keyboard for the Doors opening act at the Whiskey a Go Go.

In unrelated news I had my luckiest pregame meal - tuna tartare followed by prime ribs and garlic mashed at the Keg. All is right in the world.

You don’t live in the East. Its 1130 in the East.

10:50 in the East. 11:50 in ATL, and thats if puck dropped happens as scheduled which it wont. Most likely, midnight in ATL, and 12:30AM tomorrow morning in Newfoundland. Pretty cool of the NHL scheduling to make this game harder for Canadians to watch than the Mongolian Falconry Finals on ESPN7.

 

[yukoner88]

Now watch

Mongolian Falconry sounds like it could be the name of a finishing move in pro wrestling

 

[dssource]

Oilers played a very mature game on Friday and I can see the same happening tonight. Refs did well to contain the stupidity from the kings so hopefully that continues as well.

Oilers are by far the better team, they just need to play that way for 60 minutes. They will do so again tonight and this will be a huge boost going forward through these playoffs.

Oilers will win this game.

FMS. I lost my likes on the TO board last night.

This is the best I can do.

Like.

It was probably worth it. (Speaking from a vast amount of similar experience).

 

[tardigrade81]

ever think of Porn? Great benefits, medical and dental, and I hear the employees are easy to get along with. If you can bend your legs like that, there is a great future for you in porn. Just tell the wife that you are a family man and will do anything for your family to get a head,. Literally

I have an only fans account. So far only one subscriber. His name is Big Dave.

Maybe it's the ghost of Dave Thomas from Wendy's

Anyone else hearing Elton John in the background?
