    Retire #4

    Not according to Mr. Kelly, in this segment done for "Legends of Hockey: The First Season": The Red Head. What Mr. Kelly says is along the same line as the passage provided by egroen. I wonder if "Red" was used on a forward line when he played at St. Michael's College in junior? The quotes from Mr. Lindsay and Mr. Howe seem to sum up their feelings and speak volumes of Mr. Kelly's importance to the DRW and to hockey, as a player. Also: Red Kelly. I had forgotten that while in Toronto, he was working two jobs: hockey player and Member of Parliament.

    A fact long forgotten: "Prior to being selected by the Whalers, Legace played in the OHL with the Niagara Falls Thunder and in the Roller Hockey League RHI for the Toronto Planets".

    Bettman Tried Three Times to Sell Coyotes

    Bettman: "Who told you that?" Classic; last time I heard him ask that question was in a Ron MacLean interview. "Stroumbo" is one of the best.

    For Real?

    Please note the date on this article. When I first saw it, I thought I could add it to Avery thread or I could I add it to the mullet thread. I decided to do neither; the less press Avery gets, the better off the world is. After hearing the latest story about the Rangers possibly being interested... Ron Duguay.

    Stop It

    Some of the officials in the League are like some of the players in the League; they just don't belong there.

    A win is a win is a win. And, there is less pain involved than with an ugly loss.

    His son Christian was part of the London / Oshawa OHL trade involving John Taveres and was a player the Generals insisted had to be included in the deal.

    "I forgot he was a Red Wing!"

    Along with Ted Lindsay, Hall was another player with the DRW behind the player's attempt to organize the first "association" (aka union) in the NHL. When the attempt was beat down by the owners, all of the reps from the Clubs (except for Doug Harvey in Montreal) were traded. Lindsay and Hall were both traded to Chicago in 1956-57 in the same deal.
