But like I said, my memory is fuzzy on that having only seen it once.<BR/><BR/>As for Brooks, I like him...he's a good hockey writer. My only problem with him is when Bobby Holik was in Jersey and New York, every column he wrote could have been titled "A Love Letter To Bobby Holik".

Sorry about Ulf's leg. You got some payback in 1994 though, with that sweep. Difference is, it was a clean hit. Now throwing a baseball at someone's head, then a shard of bat is another matter entirely. <BR/>I also was glad when Denis refused to return. Then again, it was Larry Brooks in the Post who printed that, and Larry at the time had a propensity for pulling stuff out of his anal orifice. <BR/>In any event, the chant is tired. How about "Yashin Sucks", it is timely, and true. Heck, we chant it at the Coliseum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1148501733359470452006-05-24T16:15:00.000-04:002006-05-24T16:15:00.000-04:00Screw Denis Potvin.

He's in Clemens territory for me.<BR/><BR/>And if you think people speculating about Clemens becoming a Met is bad, the Rangers (Mike Keenan) tried to bring Potvin out of retirement down the stretch in 1994. He declined, thankfully.Metstradamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023215480704948183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1148489709689277142006-05-24T12:55:00.000-04:002006-05-24T12:55:00.000-04:00the "Potvin Sucks" chant is one of the saddest thi...the "Potvin Sucks" chant is one of the saddest things I've ever heard.<BR/><BR/>michaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1148484084897107172006-05-24T11:21:00.000-04:002006-05-24T11:21:00.000-04:00OK, they sort of get a pass on Yankee Universe, bu...OK, they sort of get a pass on Yankee Universe, but I still gotta think a little of it is tweaking.
