Throwback Habs Video Archive

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Figured I'd start this thread since these vids don't fall into any other specific discussion thread currently open.

I was today years old when I discovered that the Habs had escaped a hotel fire back in 1972. Serge Savard gashed open his leg while trying to kick out a window that required 18 stitches to close. Scotty Bowman was briefly trapped on a window ledge. Pretty harrowing stuff.

back when you were a Bruin honk

I didn't honk teams back then, just players. Orr, Cournoyer, and JP Parise were my 3 favorite players in 1972. I stopped being even a nominal Bruins fan as soon as Orr was traded to Chicago. They've been dead to me since. The Leafs were the team I hated since birth.

as a middle class fan, I believe the team must move forward unburdened by the past.

You are overburdening them with views of a time that is gone with the wind
