Yet you wear that awfull Flyers hat? Bill Wirtz  must be rolling in his grave.


How was the game? I forgot all about the game and decided to catch up on some sleep since I worked last night

The Habs and Leafs are trying to work up an outdoor game as well. Maybe the Kings and Coyote's should try too

The only reason Dollar Bill Wirtz would be spinning in his grave would be because he didn't get my last cent.

That's a very impressive list, Troll.

Two things I did see. I saw Sandy Koufax hit his first home run ever, off Warren Spahn, no less, in Milwaukee County Stadium in 1962 and I was in the crowd at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis when Michael Jordan came back to the Bulls and the NBA.

Koufax hit two career home runs, both of which happened to be in Milwaukee. Like Willie Mays, his first came off Warren Spahn. The second was against Denny Lemaster.

Not many historical games for me......
'81 All Star Game, '79 World Series, '95 ALDS, ALCS & WS.
I did see Jordan once in '87......Gretzky twice....Nolan Ryan a few times including what turned out to be his swan song.

I it was an obscure record....1983 saw Big Al Secord set a record as the only player at the time to score 50 goals and spend over 300 minutes in the Penalty Box.

Also saw Bobby Hull's #9 jersey lifted to the ceiling of Chicago Stadium.

Actually I have'nt watched much hockey this year.

I have gone to a couple of WHL games this year and enjoyed it alot as the players TRY. It's good quality hockey, not boring watching the "trap " played all the time like the pro's now.


I've been to a couple of "historic" games

Last game played at the Old Montreal Forum
1st game played at the Bell Center
-those games cost me ALOT

I won a trip to the first game at the new Boston Garden, unfortunately the cab ride from the airport to the hotel, ended in a car accident. Never made it to the game that night.

The Forum was on Troll's list......but I never made it.....gone like Maple Leaf Gardens, Boston Gardens, The Olympia.

The only old joints I made it to was of course Chicago Stadium, The Aud in Buffalo and ther Igloo in Pittsburgh.

The Spectrum on Broad Street comes down this year.

I've been to the Maple Leafs Gardens, Madison Square, the Aud inBuffalo ( smelled like bad socks ) the igloo in Pittsburg ( it was old 10 years ago!) Lambeau 3 TIMES!!!! ;never seen so many people in 1 place, Dodgers stadium , the Cow palace
