    The Big O did an auto. If you have the backgrounding, and can filter it and read between the lines, it's well-worthwhile.

    Old time hockey, indeed.

    You can, unfortunately, credit Eddie Shore for the first NHL All Star Game. He knocked out Leaf Ace Bailey with a hit from behind and the benefit game they later held for him is regarded as the first of what is now a trade show event for the corporate sponsors.
