Bailey is our best player at converting goals when the other teams' goalie makes a mistake with the puck on his stick.
I was at the game on 11/22/95 - my Mom got me very good tickets for my birthday, so good that we ended up the background of 2 pictures in the Pride and Passion book that Chris Botta (and maybe others) wrote around the 25th anniversary season. Gretzky was in at least one, if not both of the pictures. That hit on Vaske was nasty. Pretty sure he would get more than 5 games even if he did that now.
I recall watching the game as a kid, re-watched the hit and him being taken out afterwards, really scary. The unfortunate start of three years with head injuries for Vaske. Awful.
.....I think Noah READ my Comment from yesterday.....LOL
.....do realize I may suggest HERESY with this notion, but - maybe it's time to FORGIVE Johnny; at least a LITTLE, anyhow - beginning to appear MORE well-rounded as a human being, and I wasn't ever thrilled with just HOW much vitriol he got (NOR the way his departure went down, EITHER.....)
.....happy for both Bails & Beauvie; yeah, both their days may be numbered but, always LIKED them regardless.....
