1970-71 Media Guide (PDF file)

Surprised to read that the Aud ice was 195 feet long that first season. Typo? I don't know why it would have been shorter in subsequent years as the only renovation after the first season was to raise the roof and add the oranges.

I'm missing something, It usually takes me a while to decipher Yuri's sayings, I thought I understood this one, and it was a positive thing. But then NS had this and I'm once again needing a translation....
"Three balls in the lottery." Urban Dictionary is your friend.

My linear algebra professor pronounces "choose" as "chooch". Wait, maybe this belongs in the awesome thread.
Did you notice how Ted Darling pronounced "schedule" in that film?

Went to 716 for lunch today, absolutely no wait. The food was pretty good and Enroth came in for lunch.
For the CHLers, I tried to have a double expresso latte delivered to him, but my wife stopped me.
:w00t:

Who would PayPal anyone for creating that site?

Mini-Ditka?
Shut up. I was in the pool.

The Blues are only 11 points out of eighth place. Sabres could still end up with three balls in the lottery!

Brian WIlliams. Always figured he was an asshat of the highest order, given some of his celebrity performances that don't befit a news anchor. The scandal only confirms it. How can one possibly "misremember" being shot down in a helicopter?

Sorry to burst your bubble. I'm not a sexy cross dressing trucker.
You deny the cross dressing then? So you are a trucker?

There were many references to Punch's "luck." Back story?
-
Leaf fan makes a good parody and I gotta say I feel his pain.
I see the nipples on his hockey soul.
-
Not sure why he'd be there when Punch isn't, but that mystery man does have a passing resemblance to Sam Pollock - long time Habs GM.
It's not Sam. It might be a member of the Sabres board of directors or someone from the Common Council or something. Wait, who was the Erie County Exec. in 1970?
Edit: nope.

And this: if you check out the film starting at about 28:55, you'll see video of the puck drop. It confirms that it's Campbell in the back. And the dude on the far left has to be Molson, because there are only six men out there besides the captains, and we know who everyone else is, except one, and that's not Molson. But. Who. The. . Is. He?
-
OK. Thanks to chz's find of the old film from 1970, maybe we finally have a break here. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've been putting in quite a few hours most nights trying to nail this down. The film says David Molson, president of the Canadiens, took part in the ceremony. Is the man on the far left David Molson?
-
I beseech all not to miss this film. Oh my goodness. 17:22. You will laugh. Guaranteed!
-
No kidding. Wow.
It was a mutton chop joke.
-
Tallon, T-A-L-O-N. Deadmarsh, D-E-D...
I love this film. Buncha Canadian boobs, really. Campbell couldn't even read the freakin' wheel right. And that smarmy Stafford Smythe, you're gonna get yours baby.

Do you think that Webster even knew he was drafted in the first place? Not like it was a live-tweet event or anything.
One of the scouts was semi-related to Webster and wanted to let him know. He ran into the hotel lobby, but someone was on the pay phone.
I like the part with the scouts and Imlach looking at the guys pictures before the draft. You can almost hear them saying "well, this guys got a nice mug".
LMAO. "I like the cut of his jib." That really was bizarre.

Something that RJ developed later in his career was a way of calling an opponent's goal in a noticeably punctuated way, while at the same time putting a certain stank of disfavor on it. Not a small trick.
Not sure that came later. I have his Brad Park call in my mind, and I think it took him .2 seconds to say, "He scores. Brad Park. And it's all over."
carp had the best description of it. He thought RJ sounds almost quizzical when the other team scores, like there's a question mark after "score." I would add shocked. Shocked and quizzical. "Mrs. Murphy, we're sorry to tell you Johnny died at Pearl Harbor." "HE DIED?!" (Too soon?)
-
I never knew the Crozier-Webster trade was made that same day of the expansion draft. tom webster, did you know that? :)
-
Great find kiddo! 1:48, that's Gord Duff, Brian's granddad.
-
The goal calls have been much better. I think he's been working hard to find a sound, a style, a gimmick even. It just wasn't cutting it before. What I hate is the non-goal call, goal call he's prone to, usually for the opposition. You hear goal-type cheering in the background (on the road; hell, sometimes at home depending on the opponent) and you have to read the tea leaves of what's he's saying to figure out what just happened. He's more than good enough to not be that far behind the play. I think he just wants to undersell the opponent scoring by not even honoring the moment with a "he scores!"

Isles drop one to FLA (9th place) tonight, Capitals win. Isles only 4 points out of 8th. 11 points out of 9th playing Flyers Thursday.
They're four points out of first in the conference too. This is not a lottery team.
