Denis, you were absolutely right. When Montreal won The Stanley Cups, The Islanders were the only team to beat them during their run. Also, when you made Captain, IT WAS START OF SOMETHING BIG, VERY, VERY BIG.
I was a distant neighbour of Denis Potvin and schoolmate at his primary school. He was freakishly strong as a boy and his excellence did not stop at hockey-- he was a star in lacrosse (late teens) , football and deemed to be the best baseball prospect in Canada by Montreal Expos' scouts. Can someone tell him that I was unable to reach him in order to tell him that one of his best childhood friends, Gary Dagenais, was dying from cancer a few years back and I was unable to contact him. Bobby Orr may have been better offensively but Denis was scary , especially when his team was losing.
Class act Mr.potvin!!! You should do more podcasts , let the new generation hear your stories, u articulate them better than most!!
In the top 5 of best defensemen of all time
amazing stuff as usual! Thanks so much for these amazing guests🙂🙂
As a new hockey fan of 4 years that lives in Utah, it is great to hear these stories of some of the greats. Hockey has a magnificent history, and I am obsessed. Thank you!
Glad you are enjoying our show!
Gretzky, Bossy and...Ovi? No Mario Lemieux???
Guy Lafleur did not play a game with Nova Scotia Voyageurs in the American Hockey League.
You are correct. Larry Robinson played about a year and a half but not LaFleur.
right
Gino, Denis was never humble, actually quite the opposite.
