Yeah - poor memory at my age. I looked it up - Steib wasn't even in the bigs until 1979. Game played on opening day, despite the snow.

My first MLB game was the Angels at Jays in 1977. Joe Rudi hit a HR, but the Jays won. Don't really remember much else. It was a thrill

I remember the snow, Dave Steib starting, and I believe it was delayed a day because of weather. CNE stadium!

My age is showing, but I'll always think of Schoeny as #6

I could have written this post. You forgot to mention Herbie Hancock and the Jazz Crusaders

I'll always remember the Larry Carriere quote, along the lines of "playing defense with Bert on the ice was easy - gather the puck, take it behind the net, wait for Bert to circle around, pick it up, watch him skate through the opponent, score, and you're +1 as you get to the bench"

Well said, from a 63 yo that has been a fan since September 1970

Sophistry

Prove you're running an NHL team - sign Ehlers, Ekblad Don't choke or spit out your coffee

I’d prefer a goalie related to a golden seal

I've always had my greatest disdain for the B's. Born of how good they were at the Sabres birth and attending the game Schoeny fought Orr, Vadnais, Cashman

The first pro hockey game I attended was a Bisons game that final season. Guy had a hat trick and I was hooked!

While I remember it, I was young enough that I couldn't understand why we'd lose stars like Guy Trottier for the next season.

That's so deep I remember playing that 8 track in the car

I haven't been to an Arby's in 35 years. Last time I pulled in to an Arby's the sign said was open 24/7 it was closed. Never again

Thumbs up for Ted

I hate to admit it, but the Cozens trade told me the same thing that Hoppe wrote. I can't believe the Knox Brother's baby has sunk to these depths

That's worse than the '77 Vega I drove to pick up my wife of 38 years for our first date

Now you're making this old guy look up Jack Brownschidle's stats.

and Bobby Schmautz

Like my Dad's ties - made from a fabric not occurring in nature!

You built that tea, Punch!

I like this deal and the fact that the NTC doesn’t kick in for two years

Me thinks Lindy played a large role in the Skinner decision, for the reasons you outlined.

I refuse to watch that clip. Probably haven’t seen it since the live version
