If he had a great seven years or so with the Habs, he’d be treated as royalty there for the rest of his life. He would have been a star in the kingdome of hockey, Montreal.
This young French Canadian star would have been a huge hero in Quebec.
I can be there in twelve hours.ĭaniel Briere didn’t want the pressure that goes with being a Montreal Canadien, so he signed with the Philadelphia Flyers instead. Can an old guy do this too? If Club de Hockey Canadien needs to be paid, I’ll sell the house. That’s five wins down, eleven to goĪbout those two kids dressed in their Habs uniforms, holding flags and skating around the Bell Centre at the beginning. Every great team has had players like him in defining roles. Tom Kostopoulos is as important as any player on the Montreal Canadiens. Thankfully, the guy was later fired for his rude and tasteless comments.

Everybody wanted a star like Vincent Lecavalier or Daniel Briere, but had to settle for a plumber these fans labelled Krustyopolos, and everyone wanted to lynch Bob Gainey for this lacklustre signing.Īnd then some guy on some French TV show used profanity when describing Kostopoulos, and said a French player should be playing, not Kostopoulos. Yes, that Tom Kostopoulos, the one fans pooh-poohed when he came over from Los Angeles. A late comeback, and then the Kostopoulos goal 48 seconds into the extra period. It was a lip-smacking 4-3 overtime win for the Canadiens. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t what Bob Cole saw either. And the one the rest of us saw, which was a couple of posts hit by Montreal, a penalty shot, a shorthanded goal by Kovalev, a couple of comebacks, overtime, a dramatic goal by ultimate warrior Tom Kostopoulos, and a pretty tip-in by Patrice Brisebois, which was, unfortunately, into his own net. The one Bob Cole saw, which was Philadelphia all over Montreal most of the game. “There’s no way I look as silly as Don Saleski,” stated the creature. The Phanatic was apparently quite upset about these allegations. You know, the creature with the ridiculously long nose, extended neck, and gangly, weird body.Īnd there’s absolutely no truth to the rumour that the Phanatic was actually Don Saleski in the off-season. Philadephia is the home of the Philadephia Phillies mascot, the Philly Phanatic. A meat slaughterhouse, guys out on the street, freezing, and standing around fires burning in tin cans, singing a capello, Rocky’s (Sylvester Stallone) lovely bungalow and neighbourhood, and a sweaty old gym.

The movie included quite a few shots of the some of the nicer parts of the city. Philadephia is the home of legendary hockey players – Dave Schult, Don Saleski, Bob Kelly, Moose Dupont, Steve Downie, and the guy who broke ankles better than anybody in the game, Bobby Clarke. WC Fields’ proposed epitaph was “All thing’s considered, I’d rather be living in Philadelphia.” Sounds a lot like Daniel Briere. That’s what Mike and I did on our way to the Atlantic City Pop Festival way back then. Here’s what I know about the city of Philadephia:Ĭity Hall in Philadelphia, if it’s still in the same place as it was in 1969, has stairs up to the top where you can look out over the street and smoke a joint.
