Early August Youtube wanderings...

Neat to see this video. Although the WHA was kaput at this point, the top level of professional hockey was still pretty watered down.

Rumour has it the Al McNeil told the players during the second intermission that the team was relocating. Sure enough, a month later Nelson Skalbania appears on HNIC to outline the deal.

A smattering of boos in the Omni at the final buzzer. You could tell Dan Bouchard was POed. Also, I had forgotten Don Lever wore 12.
