Scotty Bowman TTM

 

 

The other day I recieved an awesome TTM. It came from the NHL's all-time winnigest coach, Scotty Bowman. This is an awesome TTM return as he signed all 6 items sent. He signed two pictures, both inscribed with "'HHOF '91" and the black picture also was inscribed with "12x Stanley Cup Champion" Bowman also kindly signed two cards and two index cards. Also in the letter I asked, "What are your thoughts on the firing of Lindy Ruff?" His response was short but very informing by saying "Not Pleased." Thanks Mr. Bowman!

Mike Robitaille Interview

I just recently did an interview with former NHLer Mike Robitaille. Mike Robitaille spent his career with the Vancouver Canucks, Buffalo Sabres, New York Rangers and, Detroit Red Wings. Robitaille's career ended after multiple injuries in 1977. Robitalle joined the Sabres Broadcast crew in 1991 and has been a part ever since.
