The gang with Bobby Hull
Bobby HullThis weekend I flew to Chicago for a tryout with the Chicago Blackhawks. It was a gas.
Based on the original offer of a tryout I agreed to fly to Chicago with my lovely wife Peggy and we were to meet up with her Canadian friend. Linda from Toronto. Linda's vast Canadian knowledge of hockey led me to believe she would be perfect as my agent. The tryout offer came with four groovy tickets to the game.
Late in our planning, in a search for a home for the fourth ticket, I invited my cousin John who lives in Indianapolis. John asked me if his brother Joe could attend as well. When I approached Peggy about perhaps missing the game and having a wonderful dinner with Linda, the relief was evident in her eyes and it became a boys night at the game and a ladies night at the Farmhouse Restaurant. A win win for both of us.
The tryout went well and I hope to hear soon on how much money they will offer me. They want me so bad, they let the Cougan Cousins come up to the Legends Skybox at the first intermission and meet with Bobby Hull and Tony Esposito.

Your prospects were looking good until that slip up at 1:02, there is no doubt the coaches are going to have some issue with that. Perhaps you could play defense on the third line, but you had better be able to fight on those skates!
That was no slip. Someone in the crowd threw something that hit me in the head. Don't know what it was, maybe some car keys, keys to the camper. I don't know. I took five stitches and then was out for my next shift
We noticed the grainy quality of the film was very very similar to the "Surgeon's Photo" of the Loch Ness Monster. Now, we're not implying that the alleged tryout film was a hoax but that rink sure did look like the one on Aurora Ave in N. Seattle.
You could only hope to make to the level where Highland Ice Arena would let you in the door.
Hey, I think you are in trouble with the wife
