Thank you Miss Myles for posting those links, will make for nice reading over lunch!
Enough of the rhetoric! Both sides are nutters!
This is what I felt like when I was a kid:

Well I just read the article on Dick Irvin, and I tried to put up a comment, but one needs to have a Face Book account. I don’t have one….. SO, here is what I wanted to say:
“Nobody’s going to miss me, but the coach isn’t in his corner,” Irvin said of HNIC icon Don Cherry.
No Dick that is not true! I miss your friendly voice every time I watched a Habs broadcast and gleefully wish you and Danny were still calling the Canadiens. I can truly say I am a fan of you Mr. Irvin. I truly have admired your work when you were in the buisness and have also truly missed you and your thought full comments. You were one of the people whom I’d say were also part of that “Canadiens: What a Classy Orgainzation” even though you never worked for them directly. You made watching those games fun!
One admireer(if thats how it could be spelled)…..
I miss the hell out of Gallivan and Irvin. That was play by play and colour commentary at its best.
Most others are either too clownish (the Buffalo Sabre announcer) or dull (Hughson).
I recall Dick Irvin doing the play by play of “Montreal Minor Hockey” from the TMR arena.
Centuries ago.
…since Hickey’s Midnight Fantasies have gone viral (diseased?) in HIO, I only check-in every few days now
…so relieved this night is good readable stuff from Stubbs …and this is such a relief
…as They say, take two Stubbs …and call Me in the morning
This thread has been just sitting here an hour and no one has posted.
So I’m gonna put one in
LAST
Go Habs Go!
