The game of hockey and the world has lost a giant. Ken Dryden has passed away.
The big saves, the pose, the clutch playoff performances, the mask - all iconic stuff. And of course, the way he talked and wrote about the game. Dryden was 78.
Godspeed, Mr. Dryden. 🙏

Rest In Peace Alex Delvecchio. When Delvecchio retired in 1973-74 he was 2nd only to long time linemate Gordie Howe in career points and games played. A true legend on the ice and by all accounts, a true gentlemen off of it. Fats was 93. Godspeed, Mr. Delvecchio.

Alex Ovechkin & Wayne Gretzky have more in common than the same number of NHL career goals. They both support authoritarian mother fuckers.

There is nothing like Opening Day. Takes me back to Larry Robinson was on the mound pitching to Kevin McCarthy. Don Edwards was a hell of a catcher as well. Guy Lafleur could have been a little more consistent as an umpire though.

Paul Morris - the voice of Maple Leaf Gardens from 1961 until its closure in 1999. Mr. Morris was there to inform, not to entertain, and that's why he was so loved. RIP Mr. Morris. Godspeed.
Some photos should have sound. Paul Morris' should. Here's a snippet of his distinct voice.

Mark Recchi won the Stanley Cup 3x. In 1991 with Pittsburgh, 2006 with Carolina and his last year, in 2011, with Boston. Mark Recchi then announced on national TV that he was hanging them up. What a way to go out.
