You already asked that question on Wed Sep 27, 2006 3:11 am at:

Since no one answered, then apparently no one has seen that series.

Yes I did and thought about quoting it, but I don't think that everyone bothers to refresh through this entire thread and since then, the new Survivors series has been aired on the BBCCA channel. Hoping that someone else had latched onto this series since it had been revived.

that stone faced young soldier who stood like a statue while a first nations "activist" was taunting and yelling in his face, in quebec. Forgot the name of the place.

wonder what ever happened to that soldier. Some tv shows should do a human interest story on him.

Are you taking about the Oka crisis and the guy in that photo, and the guy who took the photo who both recently died separately within a very short period of time (same day even, I think)? Sorry, really rusty on the details now.

Off to wikipedia... okay, scratch the above... if this is the guy you're talking about and the info is correct, he did some

(a) coke,
(b) time in military prison,
(c) bodily harm while DUI,
(d) porn

and then after all that he apparently left Canada about a decade ago.

How's that for some great Norman Rockwell imagery?

yeah, dat him. I half expected a story like that. Aint it the way it seems to go. Sometimes ya get rick hansen and sometimes ya get steve fonyo.

Who remembers it was exactly 24 years ago today, January 28, 1986, when a tragic event occurred that struck the world. The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff.

And that night, President Reagan was supposed to give his State of the Union address. Instead, he gave this statement.

I remember that date all too well. A tragic event in the space program.

Who remembers goalies without masks playing in the NHL?

I do. Dam you

For those of us who saw them live I say dam you and thank you for the age reminder.

Yep you are going to be hitting a milestone pretty soon, especially if you recall those days of hockey.

As memory serves it would have been... um... Mike Rutherford (Detroit) against Boston...

Or how about when hockey goaltenders wore full plastic masks? That was not too long ago in the early 1980's.
While they didn't provide much protection compared to the cage masks, they were definitely very decorative.

I think the last Canuck goaltender to wear a full plastic mask was John Garrett.

who remembers my first post in this thread, without looking. I cant,sigh

Who remembers when Olympic athletes got caught for cheating? You can't tell me that the two Russians that did the cross country ski racing weren't given something "extra" to be that far ahead of the pack on the short course.....

Actually Rammer they've already caught about 30 (and many of them Russians) so purrhaps a couple got through the cracks? I know there is no way to detect growth hormone yet.

Wasn't that pre-Oly's? Also didn't the Russians send their dopers anyways?
