Pat Quinn passes away at 71

Didn't see this anywhere. Apparently, legendary Russian coach Viktor Tikhonov also passed away last night. Two coaching giants both gone.

I'll always remember Quinn from the 1994 Finals. Tikhonov, I'll always remember from stories about his strict rule over the Russian players and influence on international hockey.

It's really sad. Great man.

One of my dad's best stories was when he said he tried to fight Quinn and Quinn literally just put his hand on my dad's head and held him at arms length.

All he said was... "eeeeeeasy Rick".

Speaking of... anyone know of good sources for vintage NHL film/tapes/recordings. 60s and 70s
