I couldn't find the Threat I wanted (R I P Thread)

But I wanted to say that two of Hockey's greats have passed away recent........ Tony Esposito on August 10th and Rod Gilbert on August 23rd)    Two legendary players for certain in an era where Hockey was the best and the sport brought out the best.  We had Rocket and "The Pocket Rocket" streaking through the stadiums, leaving trails of magical fire and star-struck fans behind them, though one was smaller and 15 years younger, he made up for it with grit and talent, amassing records that his older brother never did. And the Golden Jet going super-sonic, seeming to reach records faster than anyone else nearly every season.......Then the *BOOMing* sounds of slapshots from none other than Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoffrion echoing in the ears of fans within the Forum and through their TV sets.  And of course here in Toronto we had "The China Wall" aka Johnny Bower, as well as a man who was "(Physically) quite possibly the strongest player in the League", Tim Horton.

So many great players, ambassadors each one of them.......Sadly they are leaving us.  But their marks on the sport of hockey and on the people who knew them best will never be forgotten.
