Growing up in the interior of BC, my earliest hockey memories were narrated by Jim Robson. My transistor radio crackled with Jim’s voice on CKWX and then CKNW, as he told us of the exploits of the Canucks. It was my dream to meet Jim. I did. I was my dream to work with Jim. I did. It was my dream to call Jim a friend. I did. He had a heart of gold. And a passion to be perfect. Jim’s impact on sports broadcasting in Vancouver will never be forgotten. “A Special Hello to all the hospital patients and shut-ins that can’t get out to hockey games…” A Special Thank You to You Jim Robson.

Apr. 27, 1980. After the #Minnesota North Stars got a late goal from Al MacAdam of #PEI to eliminate the #Canadiens in Game 7 of the #StanleyCup quarterfinals. An early Coach’s Corner starring Dave Hodge (with his immaculate coif) and a rather docile Don Cherry, 46 years old at the time. #CBC #Leafs

@SethWickersham @FitzyGFY Did this also factor in the deflategate that followed the next week? Also wondered if there were other motives/players involved other than the colts.

Harbaugh’s Ravens were one of the toughest opponents during the Patriots dynasty — until one moment, when Belichick set a trap for his opponent and opposing coach.

I was simply going to say that Larry Brooks was the best at what he did and leave it at that.  But that does not begin to do him or his career/life justice because, honestly, he was the only one who did what he did. Brooksie was the quintessential five-tool hockey writer whose talent and versatility were unparalleled. I would put him in the pantheon of greatest game story writers alongside Red Fisher and Jason Botchford and, working at The Post, he had to do it in a lot fewer words. His Sunday Slap Shots was the gold standard for an NHL notes column — pointed, informative, irreverent and poignant — which was no mean feat in the internet era where so many weekly notes columns went to die. Larry (The Post has learned…) could break news with the best of them. He was incisive and plugged in. He was also hockey media’s biggest power hitter. He was fearless. His columns and takedowns were often epic and not only could he wield the flame thrower, he could take the white hot heat, too.  But for all of that there was often a real humanity to him and his work, a lot of  warmth, understanding and empathy.  As an old-school hockey writer,  Larry Brooks was the total package.  When Larry congratulated me after I received the Elmer Ferguson Award in 2015, I must admit I was a little sheepish because he had not yet received it. I told him exactly that and, thankfully, in 2017 that situation was rectified. Back in the old days, Larry and I occasionally sparred, especially during NHL lockouts (there was no shortage of those) but in the last decade or so we became pen pals of sorts. Just two older guys sharing an age/stage of our professional lives and enjoying the setting sun. He was nothing if not kind and caring.  The love he had for his family shone brightest, beyond all else, and my deepest condolences go out to them at this time of loss. 🙏 Larry Brooks really was one of a kind. -30-

The Patriots have now won as many games this year as they did the last two years combined—and have locked up their first winning season in four years. (I'm sure other fan bases are happy for them having survived that.)

When the Blue Jays won their first World Series title in 1992, it was on a Saturday when the clocks were turned back an hour. #WANTITALL

Bien de l’eau coulera sous les ponts d’ici là, mais trois équipes de la LHJMQ confirment qu’elles souhaitent présenter le tournoi de la Coupe Memorial 2028. «Je suis all-in», dit Robert Irving des Wildcats. Le format du tournoi pourrait bien changer. lesoleil.com/sports/hockey-…
