I have to wonder why there will be so many representatives from the police department. Okay, I get it, now. It's so that my childhood hero, Johnny Bower, doesn't get mobbed. In the early 60's, I watched the man back-stop the Leafs to four Stanley Cup championships in six years. And if memory serves, he did it without wearing a mask. Cassie was good, too.
