flyercanuck Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Mike Richards brought the Stanley Cup back to Kenora yesterday (by boat). It was the first time it had been back there since 1907 when the Kenora Thistles won it by beating the Brandon Wheat Kings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 @hf101 Ya, Richards was never much of a speaker. But he's proven at every level possible, he's a winner. I'll take that over some babbling idiot who never delivers anytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Great to see Mikey have his time with the Cup, nothing left for this guy to win....has done it all now! He will have to have a great second half of his career to get HOF consideration, but wow, multiple World jr Golds, World Championships, Memorial Cup, Calder Cup for AHL, Olmypic Gold, Under 18 Gold....and now the ultimate....the Stanley Cup, one of the great winners of of the modern era of hockey....he deserves all the accolades he gets!!

Podein25 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Good for Mike. The guy has won everything, everywhere, since he put on skates. I have mad respect for that. Plus he's Canadian.Other than his pathetic face-off record, where he doesn't appear to be trying half of the time, he is in fact the closest thing to an exact replica of Clarkie that has existed, for far. I've been critical of him for showing poor leadership, e.g. insisting on living downtown with his posse, which makes him different from Clarkie, who loves the suburbs I imagine.But he's won everything! Maybe he's just lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the banner is recovered, and the culprit is beaten publicly.I was such a hockey stats geek as a child that I actually knew Kenora's team was the Thistles....and I'm a stupid American! Admittedly I wouldn't have gotten the 1907 right though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 @sarsippius@Podein25@mojo1917Unfortunate, I'm guessing security wasn't a big part of the planning process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 @hf101Ya think? You ever been to Kenora? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 @hf101Ya think? You ever been to Kenora?Not quite, probably close enough though, went to our cabin nearly every weekend growing up which was located adjacent to the border lakes and Voyagers National Park. Also had relatives that lived in Fort Frances. I'm sure there isn't much of a difference, eh? lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
