sweeeet!!!



where did you find it? how much?

Bar across the street from my house used to have a Chicago Bears Fanclub that met there to watch the games. In that corner of the bar this framed backglass hung from the ceiling. When the sports part of the bar died out, and the owners were getting the place ready to sell, I convinced one of them to let me buy the Bobby Orr backglass for $100. I thought it was a fair price (because I really wanted the damn thing). Mine isn't in great shape, but that doesn't matter to me.

Why is the Canada jersey Blue?



And why is Bobby Orr playing AGAINST Canada?

 

[MassHavoc]

Because it's a power play... duh. DOn't they teach you anything up there?

PS Team Canada did wear blue jerseys around that time, 77... 78, just not like that. Jerk.

once, in 1978, in the World Juniors tournament. And people were as dumbfounded as I am right now...you know, because Blue isn't one of our national colors.

You are getting really good at proving I'm right.
