2. Hey OCM, do you remember those old Brooklyn years when Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges, Jackie Robinson, PeeWee Reese, Billy Cox, Carl Furillo, Duke Snider and, (damn! I can’t recall the left fielder!) were playing?  That was a team!  Broke my heart when they moved to LA, not to mention when Ralph Branca gave up the home run to Bobby Thompsen in ‘51.

3. As for me , as long as Santo is part of the announcing team for WGN (radio) I will be listening to the misadventures of my favorite Northside Boys aka THE CUBS.  On the other hand the NHL can bite me...and I am not too fond of the NBA either (sheesh, basketball used to end sometime in March-just in time for baseball to really kick in...now, they are still playing in JUNE!!)

4. You know, I didn’t even miss hockey. I never have been able to understand the rules anyway. Iceing? What the Hell is iceing? aren’t they all iceing out there. I kinda’ like the fights though. Maybe all the unemployed hockey players can go to work for the WWF.

5. Hockey on TV sucks, Stan. You have to be there to see it right. Even then most people can miss some of the plays.

   Here, Stan.

9. Stanley> Iceing? What the Hell is iceing?

   I think the best (and funniest) explanation of Icing came from Denis in the 1977 movie Slapshot with Paul Newman:

   “Icing ‘appen when da puck come down bang, you know before the other guy’s, nobody der you know, my arm go comme ça then the game stop then start up.”
