One of the few hockey stars that I recognize. I just acquired his '71-72 Topps Booklet last week in a bulk purchase.

May he rest in peace.

Pancreatic cancer gives no chance. When one notices its presence, it is usually too late and things go fast. It is the same cancer that stole us Alex Trebek and my old man. Very sad.

Rest in Peace to one of the game's legends. Tony-O was also the GM of the Penguins at one time and he is responsible for getting Tom Barrasso and Mark Recchi to the Flightless Birdies, key pieces to their first two Stanley Cups. ------------------------------- We all live in a Perry Groves World...

An absolute loss. Tony pretty much invented the modern butterfly stance and was always trying to find that edge. He was before my time, but u can always respect a legend like that, even if he played for Chicago. I don't think we are ever going to see that degree of dominance in the net ever again. ------------------------------- I don't like McDonalds, but I'll take all your Big Macs
