Farewell to the Govies

Post by headsupsticksdown »

Found this out there. Sad to see another program with such rich tradition go down.

Wow, that was very well done. I remember that '84 state quarter final. Durose absolutely stood on his head that game, and his glove was the size of a bushel basket. I bet Curella still sees that shot (near the buzzer) in his sleep; he should have filed a report of robbery. I also recall the double overtime section game at the Coliseum. In the first period Johnson took a couple of dumb penalties. I thought, "Here we go! We get a couple of goals, they get more frustrated, more penalties, more goals." But Johnson got more disciplined, and it became an incredible game. Rush after rush down the ice by both teams, one of those games where you hate to see one team lose, unless you're a die hard fan.

Don't be sad it's ended, be happy you got to see it.
