Tempus Fugit 214 Posted March 12, 2006 Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoffrion, a famous Canadian ice hockey player for the Montreal Canadiens and credited with inventing the Slap Shot in the sport. has died aged 75, from stomach cancer. I've never heard of him myself, but ice hockey isn't exactly big in the UK. He must have been pretty famous though as he's generated more than 250 news obits.

Octopus of Odstock 2,200 Posted March 13, 2006 He was on my DDP consideration, I knew he was very ill, yet.. I didn't choose him. I think my thinking was he'll live a few more years yet with the disease, but looking at the news report on the BBC, Jinky had probably lasted as long as could be expected with such a disease. Great Shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
