Very cool to see Patrick Roy get into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Above is a picture taken at the old Montreal Forum after a game in 1994. St. Patrick and Brian Bellows were coming back across the ice after doing post-game interviews on the CBC, and I happened to be hanging around the Habs bench at the time. You used to be able to walk right down and sit on the bench after the games, which was a pretty neat experience.

That's my explanation for being on the Habs bench, but as far as my half-hearted attempt at growing a beard, I got nothin'.

Hope you have a good Canada Day weekend. On Friday's show, I'll be talking to 54-40, who will be playing an outdoor show at Casino Nova Scotia on Sunday. They'll be in the van, probably around Kingston, Ontario at the time, so they'll be nice and shack-wacky, no doubt.

Joel Plaskett stops by Live at 4:05....he's headlining the Q Blast Sunday at Alderney Landing. He's a good Clayton Park lad, riding high with 'Nowhere With You' in a Zellers ad campaign.

Don't forget the Q104 Ballbusters/ELEMSdale Werecoons game, rescheduled for Sunday at 1pm at the Elmsdale Legion. The beer and Ben-Gay will be a-flowin'!
