In this special episode, I guess you could call this one of our summer reruns, we go back to the week of June 8-14, 1970 and report on the NHL 1970 summer meetings. We think you will find this one fairly interesting, this is the point at which the Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks entered the NHL and we will have all of that week’s drama - enjoy!
