I should have numerous doubles of both sports all through the seventies.

...Wow, I had never heard that Gord Gallant story. <br /><br />He had almost 300 penalty minutes in '76 yet he was he was fourth in that category and no where near the lead. I'd have lost a bunch on that bet.

When I finish my '59 baseball blog in a month or two I plan to spend some time getting my stuff organized, including my hockey collection which is just a tangled mess.

He'd fight anything including his own coach (broadcaster Harry Neale) - who he beat to a pulp one night after missing curfew. <br /><br />Much later, he rescued his family from a burning house and took severe burns to the majority of his body. He's another East Coaster.<br /><br />That's such a great set. I finished the OPC years ago but should take a look at the Topps. There are 7-8 cards that OPC dropped for whatever reason, including all the leader cards and three commons. The only Topps card I have from that set is the Howe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-36332578550543320342014-01-17T07:57:25.390-06:002014-01-17T07:57:25.390-06:00Wow never hard of that team before.

One of these I'll start chasing down their team sets, but there are a lot of things ahead of them on my wantlist.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.com
