RIP Eddie Giacomin. Giacomin was #1 in Rangers' programs and #1 in their hearts. Impossible to understate the love Rangers' fans had for Eddie Giacomin. Here Giacomin tells Sam Rosen of his career highlight. Godspeed Mr. Giacomin. 🙏

Giacomin was 86.

The game of hockey and the world has lost a giant. Ken Dryden has passed away.

The big saves, the pose, the clutch playoff performances, the mask - all iconic stuff. And of course, the way he talked and wrote about the game. Dryden was 78.

Godspeed, Mr. Dryden. 🙏

RIP Mark Kirton. Kirton was diagnosed in 2018 with ALS. He fought, educated & inspired.

Here's a clip of legends Bruce Martyn & Sid Abel talking about the "good little hockey player" the Wings got in the Rutherford deal. Now the league upstairs gets a great human being. RIP.🙏 Kirton was 67.

Rest In Peace Alex Delvecchio. When Delvecchio retired in 1973-74 he was 2nd only to long time linemate Gordie Howe in career points and games played. A true legend on the ice and by all accounts, a true gentlemen off of it. Fats was 93. Godspeed, Mr. Delvecchio.

RIP Greg Millen. Millen played in 604 regular season NHL games. He played for the Penguins, Whalers, Blues, Blackhawks, Nords & Wings. Millen played the 2nd most games between the pipes during the 1980s. He then shared his knowledge (& humour) as a colour commentator for many years. Millen was 67.

There is nothing like Opening Day. Takes me back to Larry Robinson was on the mound pitching to Kevin McCarthy. Don Edwards was a hell of a catcher as well. Guy Lafleur could have been a little more consistent as an umpire though.

Kevin McCarthy (the good one) thinks Peter Navarro is hilarious.

Some people are saying that Russia is not in this Best on Best hockey tournament because of politics. That's just not the case. It's their Right Wing. I mean check out the Russian Right Winger below. They are clearly rotten on the right side. This Putin guy clearly just sets them back.

Paul Morris - the voice of Maple Leaf Gardens from 1961 until its closure in 1999. Mr. Morris was there to inform, not to entertain, and that's why he was so loved. RIP Mr. Morris. Godspeed.

Some photos should have sound. Paul Morris' should. Here's a snippet of his distinct voice.

Mark Recchi won the Stanley Cup 3x. In 1991 with Pittsburgh, 2006 with Carolina and his last year, in 2011, with Boston. Mark Recchi then announced on national TV that he was hanging them up. What a way to go out.

Mark Hardy gives M4P 1T6ike Keane a rough ride. (But Keane got right back up - because of course. Pound for pound, as tough as they come.
