But tonight it's Game 2 of the 1975 Wales Conference Finals between Guy Lafleur's Montreal Canadians and Gilbert Perreault's Buffalo Sabres
THAT'S OLD TIME HOCKEY!!!

1 - BITE YOUR TONGUE! Reruns are all we have!
2 - There's been no replays since this shitshow started?

There has been but since I stopped racing 20 years ago it's not necessary to watch as I'm no longer studying their talents to improve mine.

I will say nostalgia viewing I understand sort of. Technology growth in motor sports is always nice to see plus flashing back to being a kid watching is good for the soul. But can only watch for about 10 minutes and I'm good.

The most confusing part of watching that game last night was that they weren't putting the score in the corner of the screen back then, so I had no idea who was winning!

You know, if they replayed the 1967 Stanley Cup series when the leafs last won then I would watch it. I was 5 at the time. I have no recollection watching it but I am sure my Dad was glued to the TV.

I called my mom yesterday to tell her about the 1975 game & she remembers that I was in the hospital during that series & my dad was offered tix to one of the games but had to say no, so they watched it from my hospital room.

BUT...

I was back home by the Finals & my mom & dad were at the fog game where Jim Lorentz killed a bat with his stick
