This guy might have placed 3rd-except perhaps for a puff of wind that was blowing 2 kilometres/phr faster on him, than the guy that is 20 feet in front of him. Out of all the “near misses” for a medal, he was the one I had the most sympathy for. That final sprint was heartbreaking in a way. He gave everything he had and emptied his tank. It’s almost better to finish 5th or 6th. 4th is just so tough. I can’t help but wonder why the back markers being lapped aren’t required to move out a lane to allow the top runners to compete without impediments. Funny how the announcers kept thinking the eventual winner was being lapped and questioned why he was impeding the front pack.

I’m old enough to remember Gregg Boddy dropping an f-bomb in the Canucks dressing room while doing a post game playoff interview on CKNW back in the 70’s. I don’t remember who they beat, but the interviewer sputtered and paused, and said Gregg we’re on live. Hilarious indeed, I couldn’t believe they played the interview the next day as well. I think it was on the Sunday afternoon Dave McCormick show at the time when NW did Canucks hockey. Robson and Larchied were the best.

I think it was on the Sunday afternoon Dave McCormick show at the time when NW did Canucks hockey. Robson and Larchied were the best. I remember it well. The Canucks had just clinched a playoff spot for the first time and John McKeachie was doing the dressing room interviews with the players. I thought it was Gerry O'Flaherty that said, and I quote "Just a great fucking season". McKeachie mumbled something about being live on air, but it absolutely happened. Looking back, it may have been the first time I had ever heard that word on public air waves. Edit: I did a little digging and the game was played April 4, 1975. With three games left in the season, Vancouver and St. Louis were tied for first place in the Smythe Division. St. Louis lost one and won their last two. Vancouver won their final three, finishing 2 points up on the Blues. Oh, and the game winning goal in a 4-1 win over Minnesota was scored by John Gould.

I actually got into an hour session at 4 Rinks when Gregg Boddy was out of the League, late 70's. I stole the puck from him and scored a goal. I should be in the Ring of Honour at least don't you think???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
