Former Guelph Mercury reporter Wayne G. Collins decides to mend some fences with Christmas’ chief elf
I haven’t written you since I was nine years old, so the first thing you might notice is that my spelling has improved just a little bit in the last 53 years.
Okay, long story short, Orr and Esposito went outside in the yard on Christmas Day 1967 to try out Esposito’s new puck and Orr’s new hockey stick.Esposito crouches low in the “net” waiting for the shot. He groaned and muttered something almost incoherent, but vaguely familiar like a word some adults use when they stub a toe or trip over a kid’s toy. It sure sounded like “puck,” but I sure wouldn’t swear it in a court of law. In fact, the more he said it, the less it sounded to me like “puck” at all.The jig was up. The proof was in the pudding. We were getting ripped off here and we believed we had a case to make.I finally knew the real score and I was miffed. Miffed but mostly mad.
“Deer mister claws: u is a big dumb, fat, old man. I hope Rudalph eats ex-lax next yeer beefor ye goes out on yer slay nects yeer and it’s as foggie as heck on xmas eeve. I saw wat da Mooneys nects door got from ya dis yeer and by the looks o’ her … u give dem all the stuff we axed fer … fer da lass 10 yeers.
We never did make the NHL and to make matters worse, our parents shelled out close to a half-million bucks to the dentist to fix Esposito’s teeth.
