Stoner Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 At 3:37. After a series of very quick cuts, the video lingers on this guy, right before the shot of Sugar Packets getting to his feet. I asked before. No answer. I still wake up at night, sweating, tossing and turning, the pain in my chest so crushing, the faces coming in and out, in and out...

shrader Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 The white jersey with red shoulders? It doesn't look like the picture is anywhere near old enough, but did either of the Knox brothers play hockey when they were younger? I can't really tell if it looks much like either of them though.
Screamin'Weasel Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 I still have no idea, but I did make this screen grab for people to look at without watching the video every time: I cannot quite make out the print on the jersey. If we could get that, it may help identify him. As far as I can tell, that is deffinately not one of the Knoxes nor SPG.
shrader Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 It has to be some front office type or maybe someone in the organization (scout, coach, management... anyone) that died.
Eleven Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 I think it's ToddKaz. No--in all seriousness, I've seen that video before, and I don't recall that image, which lasts 2-3 times as long as every other still in the video. I suspect, but don't know, and can't prove, that it's a youtube user who inserted a vanity photo into the video.

I suspect, but don't know, and can't prove, that it's a youtube user who inserted a vanity photo into the video. That's as good an explanation as any. The lingering on the shot, its position near the end would suggest someone of great importance. And it's no one even the diehardiest fan can name, so... (And it's not Goli, since he is on record as saying he never liked hockey, or knew much about it, or something to that effect.)

It isn't Golisano. Color photos were rare when he was the age of the kid in the photo, and no, I'm not being cruel. By the way, while searching for similar vids to try to compare, I came across freakin' gem of Sabs highlights set to The Who. Awesome. Great band, great hockey. If only Keith Moon had started a doughnut chain....
carpandean Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 By the way, while searching for similar vids to try to compare, I came across freakin' gem of Sabs highlights set to The Who. Trivia question: without searching, what is the name of The Who song in the video?
darksabre Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Trivia question: without searching, what is the name of The Who song in the video? NOT Teenage Wasteland. But I can never remember what it's actually titled.
Eleven Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Trivia question: without searching, what is the name of The Who song in the video? Too easy... (ON EDIT...wait, DarkSab, I can't do that to you. It's "too easy" for me, 'cause I like that band. It's not "too easy" generally, and you're on the right track.)

It's not "too easy" generally, and you're on the right track.) I looked it up and felt like an idiot. I knew what it was, I just always brain fart on it. I'm not gonna say it though, don't wanna ruin the fun. B-)

Spelled differently.

Spelled differently. I really wish there was some guy on the Bruins named Baba. Yeah, its not a surname, but whatever. If they Yankees can have a Jaba, the Bruins can have a Baba.
carpandean Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 NOT Teenage Wasteland. But I can never remember what it's actually titled. I always no that it's not Teenage Wasteland, but only actually recall the real name about half the time. I'm always like "ahhh ... wait ... no ... it's on the tip of my tongue ..."
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Is it Gerry Meehan?... The colors match the ATL Flames... But, the logo and the shorts don't match... Anybody remember what Meehan looked like back in the day as a player? Just a toss out there... I don't really think it is Meehan... Meehan Just a stab in the dark.
BuffalOhio Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 I seem to remember it being a friend of Golisano's who loved hockey, but has passed away.
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 I seem to remember it being a friend of Golisano's who loved hockey, but has passed away. What team is it? Can anyone make out the name and then match it to that color scheme? It looks like the rink is in a very small venue (the light is way low).
Stoner Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Posted July 31, 2008 I seem to remember it being a friend of Golisano's who loved hockey, but has passed away. That could be it, but the image doesn't really belong there. I mean, who would get it? Maybe someone could message the dude who put up the video. This is starting to weigh on me. I never did go to bed last night. I've been chain-smoking Camels and drinking Peach Schnapps for 12 hours.
