Gnu,

"McInnis comes close to LeMaire... but, I've never seen him put a goalie on his ass with a puck to the chest from four feet inside his own blue line like Jacques did to Cheevers"

As a former goalie I have to say compare the chest pad that today's goalies wear to the ones that Gerry wore. A bazooka wouldn't put any goalie on his ass with today's equipment.

I'm looking forward to a lot of the rule changes. I hope that they continue to call all of the obstruction. By the way, this is not revolutionary, it is just calling penalties the way they used to be called. It, and the elimination of two line offsides should make for a much better game. Let the Crosby's etc. dance and work their magic. In the past they would have been nullified by a hook, a hold or interference.   

This is the Leaf's year. See you in the Spring on Bay St. (However, I've been saying that since '68).
