I sure wouldn't want to be working graveyard at your age...I mean our age. Probably not good at any age, I've done it for a year, not fun.
Went to yesterday's canucks flames game in Abby, not a bad game, nice to see the players up close, you get more of an appreciation of how good and how fast these players are. Daniel Sprongmenko looked good. We'll see how long of a leash Tocchet gives him.
We had good seats but the seats themselves are horrible, way too small,shoulder to shoulder, once your in you can't move an inch in any direction, with shins/knees crunched against the hard back rest of seat in front of you. No thanks,not doing that again.
At least at our age you can still walk skipper Goofballs.
Here's an amazing statistic crazy to think suitcase Smith played well when he came to Vancouver.
April 3, 1971: Gary “Suitcase” Smith Loses 48th Game Of The Year – An NHL Record That Still Stands Today
In 1970-71, Gary Smith played 71 out of 78 games for the California Golden Seals. The team won just 20 games, finishing dead last, ten points behind the nearest competitor. Without Smith, it is quite conceivable the team would have lost even more games. Gary led the NHL in games played, minutes played, shots, saves, goals against and, obviously, losses.
On April 3, 1971, it was the final game of the season for California, playing on the road against the Los Angeles Kings at the Forum. The Seals jumped out to a 3-0 lead within the first 6:53 of the first period. Going into the third period, they still held a 4-3 edge. However, Bob Pulford, Ralph Backstrom and Eddie Joyal scored for the Kings in the third to make the final score 6-4.
Suitcase was pummeled with 52 shots, making 46 saves in the loss. The 48th loss broke the previous record, set by Al Rollins of the Chicago Blackhawks in 1953-54, by one. Peter Sidorkiewicz came close in 1992-93, losing 46 with the Ottawa Senators.
Mercifully, it would be the last game Smith would play for the Golden Seals. Prior to the 1971-72 NHL season, he was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks for Kerry Bond, Gerry Desjardins and Gerry Pinder. With the Hawks, his GAA dropped to 2.42 while recording five shutouts over just 28 games as Tony Esposito's backup. The two shared the Vezina for their efforts.
