Fido Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Since the Canadian teams are only playing each other there is no room for an American team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard you benefited a lot from the Ballard year Leafs and enjoyed the leftover beer when the team lost and Harold wouldn't let them drink. Thats a lot of beer in those years. Too bad not much has changed..... I wonder if Gretzky's still a chicken now that he's in a private jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the first time Wayne flew in a private jet - a Lear 35. Peter Pocklington was running for the leadership of the federal Conservative party and the airplane came into YFD to take Wayne to Ottawa for the convention (nothing like using your young superstar to grab a few votes). He was clearly nervous, and before that aircraft landed, Wayne asked me if I thought it was safe, and of course I told him it was. When the aircraft arrived, the runway was wet from a passing shower and it was somewhat "eventful". Wayne watched it happen and it didn't help that one of my colleagues commented, "Holy s*^t, they're going off the end!" They didn't, but the seed of fear was firmly planted. For a few minutes, I thought Wayne was going to refuse to go, but he took one for the team and went anyways. When they came back the next day he told me he hated every minute of it. Pocklington didn't get past the first ballot, which didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did learn what a nasty strike, picket lines, and SCABs were though. The good old days when a strike meant something for both sides...... I was a teenager in Edmonton in the 80's, does it show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretzky wasn't the only one that had a fear of flying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
