Raleigh of Seattle hit his 57th HR this season a record for a Mariner. Toronto Blue Jays smoked the Royals they have made the playoffs.
Bernie Parent had died at age 80. He won two Stanley Cups with Philadelphia Flyers he was the goalie. He played on the last all Canadian Stanley Cup winner and also played for Boston and Toronto. His statue along with that of Bobby Clarke is in front of the Flyers arena. He won both the Conn Smythe and Vézina trophies the years he won the Cup.
Earlier this month fellow Hall Of Famers Ken Dryden Sept 5 and Ed Giacomin Sept 14 also goalies died. Parent usually was seen smoking big cigars.
Www.cfl.ca has the list of them . Shorter field, shorter end zone and changing the rules about single points all of which I opposse. The benches on opposite sides mandatory and a time clock 35 seconds from end of the last play, moving the goal posts to the end of the field those I agree with. 2027 season is when it starts to take effect.
Dryden had a brother Dave who played for Buffalo. Liked the book Ken wrote called Shaken And Stirred and his book Thé Game was the most boring ever written about hockey. He was a Liberal MP for a couple terms. Dryden did fantastic for Team Canada in 1972 as a rookie defeating Russia.
