@9162vb48 Good observation. I wonder why things were so different back then??

@veronicafan2000 Probably not. Big Oil and tire manufacturers would have greased the palms of politicans to have trolley or rail-type conveyances removed in favor of buses, with or without the May, 1950 disaster.

@packerhawk24 Even Frank's lousy organ playing is better than canned music. But that strict comparison alone doesn't make him a great organist.

Thank you for posting these, the quality and sound are just super, you captured everything wonderfully.

Fireworks for Ivan Calderon! He threw me a ball during BP in the TwinkDome in 1989. R.I.P.

Thanks so much for posting these. Those panorama shots of the park with Nancy playing in the background really bring back memories, make one wish that it was still (over) 20 years ago. Great work!

@snowman5676 Her contract wasn't renewed in the fall of '89. Either Wirtz was upset that she played at a few games in Minnesota in '88-89 (while the Hawks were out of town, of course), or someone in the organ-I-zation just preferred the wretch-inducing slow waltzes and lullabys that Pellico spec...

April 6, 1980, last game of the regular season. Two solid, character guys. RIP Ed Kea.

@tricesimo March 28, 1982. They were down 8-3 five-and-a-half minutes into the 3rd period at this point, so no real harm done. Tom Lysiak was a smart, crafty player, had little tolerance for pettiness from the officials, I guess.

@crowleysridgegirl Yes, the design and materials and (lack of) maintenance were all at fault. Also, vehicles in the 1960s were about three times heavier than they were in the 1920s when the bridge was built.

Wow, way too many cars to run in a race track section like that. A sandbagger's delight.

Thanks for all your postings, and all the best in this year's action.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

One, this is from the Dallas Stars first couple of years. The Minnesota North Stars never used this. The North Stars intermittently used a recording of a train horn, but never actually had a goal horn, per se.

Hi all. Two things.

1.) The Hawks goal horn was installed in the 1982-83 season. Not sure when exactly, though.

2.) This track is from the January 11, 1987 game versus Detroit. Search "Probert Decks Nylund" and you can hear/watch the goal in context.

Thanks SO MUCH for posting this series. Very straightforward and thorough, logically and perfectly done, couldn't have replaced my springs without you.

Plante was not known for his fighting at all. Therefore not surprising to see him lay down so quickly to get things over with (and avoid a beating).

Anyone have this game in its entirety? This was from December, 1987. Postcard night at the Stadium. When the Hawks fell behind 6-1 late in the the 2nd, many of the fans threw their postcard collections on the ice, causing the 2nd intermission to be taken a little earlier than planned.

P. Cavallini being his typical puzzy self. Happy to try and rough up a non-fighter like Noonan, but stopped immediately when Behn Wilson skated over.

@Longlakedreaming Fair enough, I was only referring to the playoff format changes, not everything that went on during the Ziegler regime.

Very impressive. Laperriere at his finest. Nothing says "tough" like jumping a non-fighter and raining punches while the other guy's still wearing his gloves.

@Bonzaize

Согласен, молодец. Слава северян! ;-)

OK, good memory, I stand corrected. Add running a goalie into the net to his short list of NHL hits....

On another note, have to say that Courtnall was a talented player and Ron "The Genius" Caron's infamous 2-for-4 deal that sent him to Vancouver late in the 1990-91 season killed the Blues seri...
