Back in the good ole days of the NHL, the Canadiens teams that won 5 cups in a row 1954-59 was not as good as the team that won four straight 1975-79.
You had Lafleur/Shutt/Lemaire !st line
2nd line Peter and Frank Mahovilich/ centered by Cornoyner
Third line/ Tremblay/ Riseborough/ Lambert
Defence/ Robinson/ Savard/ Lapointe/ Bouchard
Dryden in nets
They probably had St. Peter on their bench.
NHL hockey is so diluted now.....
Best player ever/ "The Rocket"

 

I was always a Rangers fan, but I also liked the Canadiens back then -- such a great team, with Guy Lafleur and all the rest, and fun to root for.

 

Thanks for posting your St. George coins! They are beautifull

Yes, the Rangers had some amazing teams too. I love "your" New York Yankees baseball teams. They where almost perfect in the 1950s.

 

Before my time in terms of watching them, but I used to read about them as a child. Yes, they won 14 pennants in 16 years from 1949-64 -- every year except '54 and '59 -- even though they won "only" 9 of the 14 World Series. I did get to see Mickey Mantle play in person a number of times in his last couple of years. He wasn't really himself anymore, but he did hit a home run in the first game my father ever took me to, in 1967.

 

Well, it is now St. Patrick's Day and I found my St. Patrick halfpenny (small variety). For some reason, I paid €30 for this



For what it's supposed to look like, see here...

The Irish people rarely get the respect they deserve - across the USA and Canada.

We are not the same nation without them..

 

My father used to say "if it weren't for whiskey, the Irish would rule the world". I see the hand of the Irish almost everywhere I've been.
