Boston Bruins @NHLBruins
The Boston Bruins send their heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of former Bruin and longtime broadcaster Johnny Peirson.

Oh that’s sad. I remember watching a game way back when and the telestrator had just come into play. He was complaining how Bruins were behind the red line. I remember he circled all four and said “You can’t score from back there.” And now I look out for that all the time.

Cusick and Pierson were doing Bruins games on WBZ radio when I moved to Boston. They went and did the TV broadcasts on channel 38 for 18 years.

Johnny Peirson was the finest hockey analyst I ever listened to. I had no idea he was an ex-player. I thought he was just some dude who owned a furniture store and had done coaching.

I just saw that myself, and realized that I forgot he was still alive.

I thought he would outlive Reaganomics, but he still summed it up perfectly: "if you write a few trillion in hot checks, yes, you will get some short term economic activity."
If Mondale beats Reagan in 1984 this country is a much, much better place to live for the last forty years, and we are in a much sounder fiscal situation today.

Yeah, that guy who lost 49 of 50 states in the last true blowout election was really the linchpin turning point of this country...

"Anyone but Reagan"
I don't think anyone believes Mondale was the magic elixir but keeping Reagan.from the WH possibly prevents: killing the middle class; Iran-Contra; the massive increase of income inequality; the most corrupt administration in our nation's history; a skyrocketed national debt; an indifference towards AIDS; the Southern Strategy; illegally supplying arms to both Iraq and Iran; selling even more weapons to Iran in order to release hostages taken in Lebanon; our cut and run in Beirut while never going after the perps; arming the Mujahideen; vetoing the the Anti-Apartheid Act; palling around with Noriega, Hussein, Marcos; a SOS defending the murder of 4 American nuns in El Salvador; record budget deficits (at the time); vetoing the farm credit bill; deregulation and changes to the tax code causing the S&L collapse; robbing SS to pay for budget shortfalls...

Yeah, but my point is it's not like that was really an option. The guy won 49 states. He could've been running against Jesus Christ himself and still won easily. The 1984 election was a foregone conclusion, not some hotly contested nailbiter that should make you wonder "if only."
Man, if only St. Cecilia's 7th grade basketball had beaten the Knicks, the NBA would've been markedly different these last 50 years.

Jim Steinman. Probably best known as the songwriter behind Meat Loaf's smash album Bat Out of Hell. They tried recreating that magic a few times, and Steinman put out at least one album on his own, but never really duplicated that first one.
Yeah, his music was over the top theatrical and bombastic, and a little pretentious, but at his best, also really catchy. And I give him credit for writing this, from one of my favorite movies, Streets of Fire. A young Diane Lane doesn't hurt.
