I didn't know that there was any other colour of Owen Nolan...

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 ?
- golfingsince


For some reason I don't mind the look of the black one. Maybe it's the gold, I think it looks sharp though.


I also like the old blue ones:


And just remember, it could always be worse:

Nice STL..I remember hearing it held about 8,000 ? Does that sound right ?
- philco28


I think more like 12,000 for sports - I think.

For concerts it was a disaster - especially with the sound systems of the 60s - even ignoring the screaming teen age girls, the music could not be understood by most people in the arena.

Same with the Beatles at Sox Park in '65: I've seen set lists of what they played - couldn't prove it by me.

Saw the Stones there too but it was more like 70 or 71..Stevie Wonder opened at the show I saw...
- Glenman12


I think I saw a different, earlier show - don't think it crossed into the next decade.

the reason I said 70 or 71 was because that's when I started hanging with the people I was with...also Wiki says seating is 9K...

He will forever be addressed as the Savior from this point forward. Seriously, the guy had one half season where he was useful in a Hawk uniform and all of a sudden he is the answer to everything. Am I the only one who remembers how he couldn't score on a breakaway to save his life?
- Elbows15

Am I the only one who remembers him scoring a penalty shot breakaway goal that saved the Hawks life last playoffs?

Seriously though, no he's not a saviour he has a skill set that the Hawks no longer have and deperately need, an energy forward who knows how to play defense and who knows how to kill penalties, both severe weaknesses on this years edition of the Hawks.

Amphitheater at the Stockyards - 43rd and Halsted.

Saw the Stones there is '66 or '67 or thereabouts.

Can you name 2 former Hawks who played for the Cougars? I can think of 3. Possibly more.

Nice Ogi -- an old Chicago Cougars jersey.

Skated during one summer with one of the guys that played for the Cougars, then became a recruiter for the Navy. Super nice guy with some great stories.

Are there other kinds of penalty shots? Guy is so over rated in these parts. He is gone and not coming back. Good riddance. The guy stole money for 3 years and was useful for half a season. He was brought here to provide offense. Not be a grinder.
