edit:...re: Boomer Geoffrian. Mmmmmmmmmmmmaybe. ;-)<br /><br />edit:<br /><br />ok, I got to looking at pics of Boomer from his Monteal days. Yup, looks like it may very well be him. I always picture him as a Ranger when he was older and grayer. Here he sure looks like the guy in the background:<br /><br /><a href="https://tce-staging.s3.amazonaws.com/media/media/cab6e30a-63dd-4900-af3a-92717e6ca714.jpg" rel="nofollow">Boomer G</a>Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-36492939752567698572014-06-26T16:22:02.978-05:002014-06-26T16:22:02.978-05:00Parkhurst got a lot of use from that Langlois shot...Parkhurst got a lot of use from that Langlois shot!

With the exception of the Seiling and the Langlois, they came from a little coin and card shop in Burlington, ON, that we used to pass on the way to visit my grandparents back in the mid-80s. There was about a 25-minute drive beyond the shop and I'd spend it poring over the backs of whatever I got and then my grandfather would tell me about the players once we got there. I actually remember picking up the Howell and Mickoski (I'd nab any '54 Topps as they were hard to find) and the MacNeil because he was the first coach of the Flames in Calgary. Nice to see them up online.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-87309128997397217272014-06-25T15:00:32.781-05:002014-06-25T15:00:32.781-05:00Cool vintage ice.
