They've had original 6 competition: Leafs, Canadiennes.

Blues are good.

I also like the Detroit sweaters with the wheel in the center - much better than the current balanced winged wheel.

The US flag should be saved for shoulder patches IMO. When they keep the jerseys simple they're great.

Agreed.

It amazes me that Canada can (frank) up so many jerseys. How (frank)ing hard is it to do 2 colours with a maple leaf ?

I have one of those, but I prefer the older brighter blue ones before they added the gray.

Hate the Habs but that red jersey is linked to glory and is beautiful.

I have one too.

apparently more difficult than it looks. Aside from it being the some of most intense hockey I have ever watched, the Summit Series jersey in 72 were pretty bad.

Anyone remember the old Cleveland Barons ? Gilles Meloche's mask wasn't bad either

I always liked those.

I wish I had one of those. Havd a friend who had a white Owen Nolan.

Peter Pan Incident[edit]

The Cougars made the playoffs only once, in 1974. The initial series versus New England passed without incident, but the next series would be difficult in more ways than one: the International Amphitheatre had booked a production of Peter Pan, featuring former Olympic gymnast Cathy Rigby in the title role, and the Amphitheatre would not be available for the playoffs. Though the team did negotiate for use of Chicago Stadium, the home of the rival Chicago Black Hawks of the NHL, no dates were available due to the Black Hawks being involved in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The team briefly considered playing the matches at the Cleveland Arena before deciding to go to a suburban shopping center, Randhurst, where there was a public skating rink called the Randhurst Twin Ice Arena. Though the arena could only hold 2000 spectators, the team played its three home matches of the series in Randhurst.
When the Cougars won their series versus Toronto, the Peter Pan show had moved on, and the Amphitheatre should have been available. However, for reasons still unclear, the staff had melted the ice surface. Worse, the Amphitheatre had a portable ice surface, and the copper pipes used to chill the ice were being uncovered and dismantled for the offseason. There was no choice but to return to Randhurst. The Cougars never quite recovered from the public relations disaster; one sports reporter had quipped, "The Cougars were beaten by the greatest lightweight of them all — Peter Pan."

EDIT: Re. Jumping Sharks, that's the Fonz, not Evel Knievel
