My dad says that joke's been around since the mid-80s, and it was told (of course) about the Leafs. My dad says he thinks the Leaf goalie who attempted suicide but failed was Mike Palmateer, although he's not sure ...
Don Cherry cites it in one his books talking about the game where Daryl Sittler got 10 points while Gerry Cheevers was in net for the Boston Bruins......My dad says that joke's been around since the mid-80s, and it was told (of course) about the Leafs.

So it's an oldie ... but still a goodie!
Gerry Cheevers was not in net for the Bruins, but was the back up goaltender that night. Dave Reece played goal for the Boston Bruins in the Sittler 10 point game.
It is unlikey Nabokov will play another Olympics game for Russia. He should have been pulled when he let in more than three goals. May be some Russian coaches should commit suicide. LOL!!!
Nevermind.... I thought the gold medal game was tomorrow. The boys will get a bit of rest.
You are so right, Rock. Canada has to improve it faceoff performance. Bergeron, among others, are simply not doing the job.
One would think the Canadian fans would like to see Team Canada pounded the Slovaks into submission just like they did to the Russians.
The Slovaks play a very ugly style of play. Very hard to open up the game and play firewagon hockey against them.
I'm a hockey fan. I'd rather see a game like tonight 10 times than a game like the Canada 7-3 victory over the Russians.One would think the Canadian fans would like to see Team Canada pounded the Slovaks into submission just like they did to the Russians.
