Well, they've finally started listening to me.

NBC has stepped up to the plate and done what I've always thought would be the best thing for the NHL's ratings in America.

They've hired Don Cherry.

And if that's not enough 1970's era Boston Bruins joy for you, the inimitable Brushback over at Sidearm Delivery has uncovered my new favorite song:

Click to hear: (I feel like) (Gerry) Cheevers (I Got Stitch Marks on My Heart)



Enjoy the Lyrics here:

Saw a picture yesterday
Of a guy who used to play
For the Boston Bruins
And in school I always drew him
He had the longest undefeated streak
For every shot that hit his cheek
He drew on a stitch mark
And I think he played with Brad Park

I feel like Gerry Cheevers
I got stitch marks on my heart
Just like Gerry Cheevers

Saw a picture yesterday
Of a guy who used to play
For the Boston Bruins
And in school I always drew him
He wore a mask just like my heart
He had stitch marks on every part
And he wore number 30
That's how old you were when you met me

I feel like Gerry Cheevers
I got stitch marks on my heart
Just like Gerry Cheevers

I feel like Gerry Cheevers (I got stitch marks on my heart)
