Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
None of mine did. They were all the same Mark Trail-looking guy. Some sets had the proper NHL uniform with a logo, while others were just recognizable colours. One set I had was Bruins and Rangers, and one team was just yellow and black, the other red and blue.revbob wrote: ↑27 Nov 2020, 7:41pmIm trying to recall if the players names were on them too.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑27 Nov 2020, 7:38pmMy various sets covered all the Original Six teams, plus the Kings and Blues.

My favourite maneuver was getting the puck to a defenceman in a place where nobody else could take it. You'd pull back the rod and then just slam it forward, hitting the puck from the base of the player (instead of the stick) and turning it into a bullet. Plenty of goals scored off deflections that way.

When I was working on my diss, I paid a hefty amount for a complete set of the zines. Glad to see that she's reissuing them. If she does it in book form, I'll buy a copy.
Lots of good trashy 50s rock n roll and books. I've bought a few of the latter over the years.The music on the site looks interesting too.
