Today we just went diving back looking for a nice moment for a Sunday. We would like to think a good one was found for “This Day”. There are just times where the normal Paul Coffey trade to LA was too obvious or just another Wayne Gretzky moment. Yes sometimes the obvious is used but there is that tendency to go with the not so apparent. So we found a gem that is not quite all that obvious and the numbers will surprise you on “This Day” from 43 years ago. Here is a video and then the moment. Oh, and of course there is no Fantasy Hockey ONE as we will do it tonight on the air at 8pm ET on The Program.
