I found Toxeth O'Grady from the U.S.A. stuffed 604 marshmallows up one nostril?

Yes, I saw that when I googled for the answer. It was some kind of British tele show. But I never heard of the show before. It didn't seem to really give an answer so I let it go. There was another one about how far a guy shot a mini marshmallow out of his nostril into another guy's mouth. I think their answer was 6.

 

Back to hockey? Who was the only player Eddie Shore said he wouldn't fight?

 

out of town Cutter,went to Philly/south joisey over the weeknd

Sprague Cleghorn igloo?

anywho with only Matt Pavelich showing up on time....Scouts stickboys Mike Fore and Tom Capaccio had to play linesman until Andy van Hellamond showed up.

 

Not sure, many eddie shore stories around, having to find his own doctor to sew his ear back on. He missed the train to montreal with his team, so he hires a cab to take him there, took over the wheel cause he said the driver was too slow. Then he crashes the cab, hikes to a farmhouse, convinces the farmer to hitch a sleigh to take him to the nearest train, finally makes it to montreal in 22 hrs, and he scores the only goal in the game.

 

yup. well done.

 

Bobby Orr is the GREATEST player to play the game!

 

that cab story is one of the best hockey stories around. there are some great Eddie Shore ones out there.

Shore also considered himself a medical expert, citing survival of eight heart attacks and being cured of cancer as his training in the field. For the slightest ailment, he prescribed daily doses of a harsh laxative called Marlet. "It was a laxative made with oils," remembers Springfield alumnus Ken Schinkel. "I was so scared, I only drank half. I lost twelve pounds. If I'd taken it all, it would have been suicide."

But the eccentricities didn't end there. Eddie also considered himself a chiropractor and attempted to straighten the spines of unsuspecting players by putting them in wrestling moves that likely created more damage than it corrected. "He loved to get players on the trainer's table and crack their backs and necks," recalled Brian Smith.

 

even better-

Shore unwittingly started the first successful hockey players' union. He treated his players so despicably in Springfield, withholding pay for little or no reason, forcing them to clean the arena after games and practices and suspending them at his slightest whim. The players finally revolted and in December 1966, refused to play any further.

 

Im becoming Alfred jr.

 

Not until you follow the posts up with a recipe Matty.

BTW Alfred, I always read the recipes. Always looking for inspiration.

 

So .... this is where the "Ditch" people have been hiding.

Interesting

 

There was a movie on the life of Grapes, he played for springfield and was hated by his coach Shore. They showed this scene where he sprained his ankle, and in comes Shore with two buckets of water, one really cold, and one steaming boiling hot, so Shore tells him to alternate dunking your foot from one bucket to the next. LOL, Somehow in his mind, this was going to cure his sprained ankle lol.
