    To this day, I can't understand why the Red Wings ever traded him. I always wondered how many points he would've put up, playing with Yzerman.

    I didn't realize that Mike's wife Janis and Nick and Marcus Mom passed away from cancer in 2009 and she was the Niece of my favorite Ranger growing up Eddie Giacomin.
    I was lucky that my late Cousin Richie worked for Mr Francis and Ferguson from 1965 to 78 so I met all the Rangers from the 1970's and had used sticks like Eddie's.
    He was a great guy and I still have a NY Daily News picture the day after the Rangers lost game 7 to the Flyers in 1974. My late cousin, Eddie and fellow goalie Gillies Villemure are sitting at a Penn Station Bar dressed in suits smiling with a bowtie bartender. The headline said Rangers aging, changes are coming!
    John Ferguson in his book Thunder and Lightning wrote about my cousin on 5 pages calling him my best NY Pal!
    RIP Janis, Richie my cousin, Emile Francis and John Ferguson!
    Long live Eddie Giacomin and the Foligno's!
