and lest you think I've become a heathen - here is a comment (of sorts) from the website that I ripped off this avatar.
| Quote: |
John Ferguson Jr, in the far away future passes away after a long life. Past the Pearly Gates of Heaven, he is greeted by Jesus, who walks him along, while discussing his contribution to Earthy life. After a while Jesus pauses and says "John, you have been a good man, overly generous to those in your path. I have something to offer you, and please be advised that not everyone up here gets such reward."
With these words, Jesus points to a house at the bottom of a hill. It is a nice bungalow, with subtle blue and white siding, identified by a Toronto Maple Leafs flag, flowing above the attached garage.
"Thanks so much, dear Jesus", JFJ exclaims as he proceeds to walk towards his heavenly home.
As the former Leafs GM reaches his drive, he glances high upon the hill and notices a multi - room mansion of dominating proportions. It features 4 marble white pillars leading to the doorway, skylights open to the sun, and stones across the house's front stretch that parlay into a Montreal Canadiens logo and stripe that twist around the whole of the structure. Above it are dozens of Canadiens flags featuring retired numbers of familiar legends.
Ferguson shrinks and shudders at the site. Curiously, he asks Jesus, "This may sound vain, but why has Bob Gainey such beautiful residence?"
"That is not Bob Gainey's home", counters Jesus, "But you are familiar with it's owner, I'm sure."
"Oh so that is where Rocket Richard lives, then", says a humbled Ferguson.
"Close", Jesus offers, "You're getting warm, but not quite! Let's just say it belongs to someone in whom you've spent many prosperous days following in their footsteps to arrive here."
"It's my father's house, I should have known."
"Wrong again, my son", says Jesus, "It is mine!" |
p.s. I'll fix the size later.

Kilger was a healthy scratch today for the Leafs today I believe... |
So that's why they lost!

He was Mark Bell's designated driver last night, so Maurice thought he should prepare exclusively for that.

McCabe couldn't accept the key to the city; his wife wouldn't let him come to Montreal.
