They are talking 10.8 each for the twins. Cray cray.

Vochenkov to Nashville. One year, $1 mil

I don't recall if he ever mentioned it. If he did, I don't recall.

Don't have the prices, but this is an interesting graph on Hawk attendance:

Note that it's at capacity in the late 40s, then in the toilet in the 50s, climbing back in the 60s.

I hopenot. Thats bonkers.

10m is kinda bonkers . Im hoping for 9.5 OR LESS for both for 8 years .

I don't know the answer to that. It wasn't only a no hitter is was a perfect game for 12 innings.
- Canardhawk

Logan - single in the 13th.

Aaron - walk, Logan to second.

Adcock - home run, but he passed Aaron on the bases and got credit for a double.

Earl Gillespie and Blaine Walsh did a nice job on the radio.

Was watching Sport Talk live. And that is what they are saying they heard. Take it for what its worth.

Tried googling prices. Came up empty. The really sucked in the 50's according to the stories I was told.

And Mathews (although he didn't need short fences).

Those pennant winning teams (and they almost won four in a row) were excellent teams - power (Aaron, Mathews, Adcock, Crandall) and pitching(Spahn, Burdette, Buhl).

And - my initiation to great bratwurst.

I don't see them settling for less than ten. Hope they have fun playing with a bunch of ELC guys and stiffs.

Santo and Robinson.

Do you recall what the cost of a game ticket was back then?
- RickJ

Here are two tickets on eBay for the 1961 finals at the Olympia:

$2.50 for "Balcony" tickets.

They are worth every penny and it's their call. Not going to chastise them if they do I would hope others don't play the money card and how they don't need it or don't care about winning or god knows what else. It's pathetic and old.

When the Leafs played in Chicago on a Sunday night during the regular season, Foster Hewitt's favourite saying was:

As usual, the attendance is announced as 16,666 but there isn't a soul under 20,000 in here.

From 46-47 to 57-58, only made the play-offs once.

Place was packed. There probably was more than that in there. It would literally rock when the crowd was roaring.

Lemme guess, Zawaski was on?

ah ok lol

And you dont?

I'm just not going to deal with guys whining if they sign north of 10.....they don't care about winning or they'd have taken 8.5 or god knows what else.

It's stupid. The job of balancing the roster is on bowman. Not pat brisson and Kane and Toews.

In the early '60's if you lived around Toronto there was one local TV station (Channel 6 CBC) and 3 stations in Buffalo.

Remember watching a playoff game as a kid about 1962 from the Stadium. Scoreless thru 2 periods and then the Hawks scored on Johnny Bower halfway thru the 3rd. Crowd littered the ice with so much stuff it must have taken 15 minutes to clear up. During that time the crowd sang "Hail, Hail the gang's all here" in unison. Never saw anything like it.

And then Richardy Duff scored 2 quickies to win it in the last 10 minutes of the game.

Not to mention, they don't have to sign at all until next summer.

If it's $10.8, that's probably:

$9.0 increase for the boys
Another $3.0 for Saad and Kruger

If the cap goes up by 5% (as apparently Bettman is suggestin) that's $3.5

Hawks would have to shed $8.5 of NET salary over this summer and next.

Sharp and Oduya and Leddy and Roszival?

Sharp and Seabrook?

And it's all more complicated than that.

Blue line could be decimated.

Adam Jahns was one. Some ginger. And I didn't catch the last guy's name. It wasn't Zawaski.

Clete Boyer here. That was before I got the bug to be a catcher.
