Cool story!

Hockey fans are a special breed, and stories like yours are a big reason why.

Here’s an excellent story about Budd Lynch, Detroit’s Voice of Hockey. I don’t know if he is the author of: “he shoots, HE SCORES!” but he had a unique way of delivering it...

There are a lot of good stories about Mr. Lynch. One of my favorites is the one where, in a poker game he was winning on a train out of Montreal, the one-armed Lynch left for a break. When Lynch returned to the game, he caught Gordie Howe setting fire to the Kleenex box he used to hold his cards.
