Almost had him in my top 10, guy is never mentioned
You're right. A few years I went to the Pierre's Pilote's "wake" at the arena in Penetang Ontario. Great talks given by his family and friends. Plus they had film clips of Pierre speaking throughout his life.
One I remember was telling of winning his Norris trophies. The NHL trophies are glamorous, but after winning his first Norris, the NHL sent him in the mail, a wall plague...signifiying his Norris winning achievement. Two years later he wins the Norris again, and again he gets plague in the mail.
Pilote phones, NHL VP Brian O'Neill, and tells him " Gee. I already have a plague, can't you send me a "mini Norris trophy" for winning it a second time?
O'Neill ponders for a bit then tells Pilote. "OK, but it will cost you 50 dollars"
Two years later Pilote wins the Norris again, before the plague is sent He phones O'Neill again. "Just send me a mini Norris trophy. Yea, I know it will cost me another 50 fuc*ing bucks."
