Thanks. I still remember Clarkie pushing the brass to trade for him saying something along the lines that he could get 40 in his sleep. We went to his 1st training camp at the Class of 23 rink and Freddie already had him with 16 and 7. You could just see how Bobby and the Rifle were going to be special together along with the Pig. Pucks would fly into the stands and we would be busting ass trying to land one. Good times for sure. I am glad he quit drinking cause he could really pound the booze away. But you know I never saw the boys start any crap off the ice. Just having a good time with the locals. That is how much they were and still are beloved by all in this area.

Thanks for sharing. I missed the glory days of the mid-70's but heard all about it from my brother.
