Re: He's dead, Jim.

Watched "Le Gros Bill" and his Habs in the old Chicago Stadium many times. There will never be another.

Canadiens great Jean Béliveau to lie in state at Bell Centre.

Re: He's dead, Jim.

Related: one of my all-time favorite goalies is Ron Hextall, despite the fact I hate that franchise almost as much as I hate WI.

This is kind of how I feel about the Flyers too, though I take it to the level of "would rather '87 Flyers won the Cup than '87 Oilers".

Hexy was a thug, but if he had been a Wings goalie, I tend to think that the odds are pretty good Detroit would've ended the Cup drought several years before they did (obvious bias). In his prime, he was light years better than *ing Cheveldae, Stefan, or Hanlon.

O.M.G. Bud Collier? Polly Bergen? Geritol? Don't recall that specific episode, but I watched that show. **** I'm old.

Was that a hairdresser that got two votes?

Kitty Carlisle, Peggy Cass, Tom Poston and a host of other big name guest panelists. Yes, we are getting old ain't we?

Gah. You probably like Billy Smith and Martin Brodeur too.

How could anyone possibly dislike Billy Smith? He was the first goalie to ever get credited with a goal in the NHL.

Of course, Brodeur is the all-time leader in goals by goalies, but he's a Devil and should be despised as such.

Well, for starters, was a crappy baseball GM...
