I actually went to the pop shop, totally forgot all about it

Wiki says 82

Nothing. They still ain't going to make it ?

So during last night's game they said something about Eddie Shack, a name I have heard but never knew anything about. But they showed this picture with the blurb about him: That picture hangs in the North Buffalo Ice Arena and I've always been impressed with it. It's a crazy picture, and the Seals player just looks so old! They have a great photo display at the arena there and this is just one of them. Anyway, so I looked him up and his wiki page has some interesting stuff on this former Sabre: * He left his job as a butcher to try out with the Guelph Biltmores hockey club, knowing he could return to the trade if hockey did not pan out as a career. * In November of the 1960–61 season, Shack was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he played seven seasons on the left wing as a colourful, third-line agitator who was popular with the fans despite a lack of scoring prowess. Canadian sports writer Stephen Cole likened Shack's playing to that of 'a big puppy let loose in a wide field'. * During the 1965–66 season Shack broke out, scoring 26 goals on a line with Ron Ellis and Bob Pulford. His popularity was such that a novelty song called Clear the Track, Here Comes Shack, written in his honour and performed by Douglas Rankine with The Secrets,[6] reached #1 on the Canadian pop charts and charted for nearly three months. * After retirement, Shack was a popular advertising spokesman in Canada, most notably for The Pop Shoppesoft drink brand,[9] and a Schick razor promotion for which he shaved his mustache. He also promoted a small chain of doughnut stores. * Shack also revealed he had been illiterate most of his life and subsequently became an advocate for literacy programs in his native Ontario.

That miss by Pommer was crazy. Over swung and stopped it himself??

Samson adjusts helmet after scrum lol

Nice to see second unit start the pp

Shooting again!!

McDavid is great. Stating the obvious but seeing him play is a refresher Casey!! Good to see, he has to keep getting better or the future is not good

Skinner has been getting chances though.

McDavids kick pass to himself at full speed was impressive yes!! Jack!

Go Sabres!

They don't give up a lot of goals

You would think if he wanted to stay he would have signed by now. I'm guessing he just leaves

But they never score goals! That is a problem

Well this is fun!

Woo hoo!! Crazy good game!!

What a play by ERod! Wow!

They look like Cincinnati Bengals

Boy, Scandella looks terrible

This is looking like it's going to be a long night

Dahlin looked dazed at first

Rotten! Jack just misses and they get a bs goal

Should have called time out there. They were tired and made mistake

Here it is!
