As I got closer, I could see that the mystery guest was Doug Gilmour of the Montreal Canadiens, who was in Vancouver with his team to play the Canucks the following night. [...] Also apparent was that Gilmour was “old school” all the way and yearned for the days when he shared the ice with guys like Williams, players who loved hockey and strove to be the best but also knew how to have a good time. [...] Listening to the two hockey players share their tales from the trenches that afternoon gave you the sense that not only was some of the fun gone from the game but also some of the loyalty and camaraderie that once existed among players. [...] The best stories Gilmour had were not from the last few years of his career, with the Bu¤alo Sabres and now with the Canadi- ens. [...] The third series was almost exclusively played in On- tario, while the fourth and final one, which always included the biggest names, started in mid-March in Red Deer and finished at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto at the end of the month.
