Interesting note that Savard had retired from the game in the spring of 1981, but was lured out of retirement by his pal John Fergusson & joined the Jets at the midway point of the 81-82 season.
I remember an afternoon game (or perhaps a replay the following day on CKND), shortly after acquisition where some late game last minute heroics occurred via a Savard spinorama goal (vs the North Stars?) getting the Jets a win.
Perhaps it's time to lure another hockey legend out of retirement?

Savard was so respected - it was a big deal when the Jets brought him in. A real stabilizing veteran influence on a young team. There was only so much he could do with Soetaert and Staniowski between the pipes though...

How about a guy who once wore 33 for the Jets?Savard was so respected - it was a big deal when the Jets brought him in. A real stabilizing veteran influence on a young team. There was only so much he could do with Soetaert and Staniowski between the pipes though...
I miss the days where a goaltender's surname would have your mother reaching for a bar of soap...

Tom McVie. Besides former coach of the Jets. , he was a pro scout for the Flames when Craig Button was the GM
On TSN Craig tells how they let Martin St Louis walk before his career exploded with Tampa
Almost Everyone in Flames organization agree to waive Martin St Louis.
Who was the strongest supporter to keep Martin St Louis with the Flames?
Button says It was Tom McVie.

Thanks for sharing this. The coaching article is great. Have to admit I chuckled a bit when reading a dozen winters since a Leafs Stanley Cup.
Jets won that last game at least, which made Colorado the worst team in the league, and gave the Canadiens the opportunity to draft Doug Wickenheiser as a result. With Babych going #2. Denis Savard #3, Coffey #6. Jets wouldn't make the same mistake in 1980-81. Got their guy.

No problem.
There's some great nostalgic stuff in there. Maybe I'll scan a few more pages and post them.
