    OTR: Bower remembers (Mr. Jean) Beliveau

    The Great Toronto maple Leaf's Johnny Bower reminisces about the late Montreal Canadians Jean Beliveau and what made him so great on and off the ice.

    And ......... how to dress up really good for a Miracle Day.

      The mid 70's were a period of bitter cold in Twin Cities area, a hockey rink stayed frozen for about 3 or 4 months.
      Who was the running back from Hudson that went on to play for the Rams in the NFL?

          " They wrote that Beliveau would have expressed “his deepest gratitude for the many heartwarming tributes that were shared over the past few days.” ...."

          Wow ! That goes right to my guts.

          Mr.Jean Beliveau certainly deserved the incredible tribute that death brought to his exemplary life.

          He was one in many many millions. A rare human being in terms related to what goodness means.

              Get out of here, you bother me kid. I was in attendance at the Hudson House annual Sports Award dinner when LBJ flew-in to speak in honor of Jim Bertelsen. Bertelsen was legendary as a Texas Longhorn, LBJ's tie. Bertelsen was maybe Ryan Grant good in pros. Maybe less.

              My attendance at event is a lie. But I came to Hudson a year before the legendary banquet, 1972.

              The Raiders had a running back in the 70s that the coach said was as talented as Bertelsen. He was a head case and a very mean guy, Steve Breault. His dad Jack was mayor. As a trick in football practice, he once blocked me in a drill that was supposed to be sort-of a walk through. I almost died, it was like my whole chest cavity was split open. I hadn't yet developed into the physical badass that you know and respect today. It was like getting creamed in a car accident. Breault played for gophers but got kicked off team for being a menace.

                Bertelsen knows LeBron James?

                  " Two more monogram winners return at wingback. They are
                  Elmer Bailey (6-Y2, 194 Jr.) and Steve Breault (6-0, 192 Sr.) That pair will be pushed, however, by Ray Dilulo (5-11 Y2, 211 So.) for the starting position. Dilulo sat out all of last fall with an injury. "

                    Ya, that's the kid. Surprised he was there as a senior, he must have come back.

                    He was one of those high school kids who was just WAY more physically developed than everybody else. I saw him in a bar in the 80s on a visit back to Hudson. Maybe he still could have kicked my ass, but he looked like a scruffy punk.
