Cavallini

ahem…….20 hours and counting on this post without a comment.

Oh Paul Cavallini, how we hardly knew ye.

JP, you may need to rebound strong with somebody of more import tomorrow — Martin Gendron or Nolan Baumgartner spring to mind……

Paul Cavallini, one half of the famous “Flying Cavallini Brothers.” He was a solid player for the Blues. He suffered one of the weirdest hockey injuries ever. The Blues were playing the Hawks and Doug Wilson (no helmet, curly hair) let loose a big slapshot from the point. It hit Paulie in the hand severing the tip of a finger inside his glove. There was no blood because of the glove. Looked like it hurt like hell.

Happy Gilmore

So it looks like his dream of making it to the NHL finally did come true.
