I was fast asleep and so were my collies, on the floor at the side and foot of my bed. In my dream, I was in Dallas, on the roof of a building, watching JFK's motorcade passing below me, slowing to make that sharp turn. To my right I saw the open window in the book depository. In a panic I tried to yell out but couldn't. I heard the crack of the first shot, but nothing happened. Then the second shot and I could see people in Kennedy's car reacting. And then helplessly, I watched the third shot take its effect and all hell broke loose. As I was watching all this unfold, suddenly there was a FOURTH shot!

It was loud, startling me awake. My dogs were suddenly awake too, ears perked straight up. There was almost an echo, with the sound still fresh in my ears.

And then I realized...... In my sleep, it was ME who had fired that fourth shot.

Holy freakin' heck!!

Look at the back of this leaders card...

s-l1600-4.jpg

The top four scorers (the only skaters with 100+ points - including Espo's then record 152) in the NHL in 1970-71 were all Boston Bruins. Plus, three more of the top eleven scorers that season were also Boston Bruins!!!! Seven out of eleven. That is just batsh*t crazy!!

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Jim,

I hesitate to pop your luftballoon, but this post may be in the wrong thread.
