Toggers

Why would he be at that game? Scouting players would be an obvious reason, but he doesn't have any connection to the Whalers, does he? What was funny was that as he walked thru the crowd, it seemed as though he was trying to keep his head down so that no one would spot him, and believe it or not, most of the people didn't even notice him. That shows you how unobservant most people are!

This may not be the ideal forum, but I was wondering if people remember using the old Lange plastic boot skates. Mainly I was wondering about the sizing. Did you drop down a size or 2 or did they fit like shoes? TIA

If the Wings or other teams go to new arenas, would it be smart to go to the bigger ice surface? Now that the league has so many Europeans, and better skaters over all, wouldn't it be better that they have the bigger surface to maneuver? Even back in the '72 Summit Series, the Canadiens seemed to do better on the bigger ice; they won 3 of the four games in Moscow even though the Soviets were better skaters. I'd rather see end to end action rather than clutching and grabbing on the boards.

JLA is only 30 years old. What exactly is inadequate about it? The problem with this throwaway society is that people always want a new toy. Look at the Silverdome. People were crazy about it; it recently sold for $500,000 or something like that. The Italians could somehow get 2000 years out of a stadium/structure, but we want a new one every few years.  Maybe we should replace Comerica Park, I mean it's more than 10 years old.

Has anyone noticed he looks EXACTLY like Harpo Marx? What are his mental faculties like? When he accepted the pennant trophy for the Tigers last fall, he didn't seem to know where he was, as if he is going senile.
