Stompin' Tom gone but not forgotten

Wednesday Stompin' Tom Connors left us @ the young age of 77 but he will not be forgotten as he set the standard for a theme song for Canada's favorite sport of all time hockey with the iconic hockey song. He will be the center piece of this week's Saturday Night in Canada on CBC and it will have to start with the Hockey song and Don Cherry will wax poetic about the Saint Johns, New Brunswick born and who lived most of his life in the province of Ontario and city of Sudbury which wrote and song a song about Sudbury which turned into Sudbury Saturday Night. All the Canada teams in the NHL will do tributes to him with most of them with a minute of silent at their next home game and will play the hockey song during their games. In Toronto on Saturday night The Pittsburgh Penguins and Sidney Crosby will be in town to face the Toronto Maple Leafs and they likely doing a opening ceremony as it is the game that gets carried nationally and will be one of the most watched opening ceremony in a long while as people who do not watch Hockey night in Canada starting with the pregame show @ 6:30 and will carry til at least 7:10-7:20 when the actual game starts. During the first intermission and coach;s corner will have another piece on Stompin' Tom befor Don Cherry talks about the Marc Staal innocent and Senators' David Dziurzynski being ko'd by the Leafs' Frazer McLaren. He will always be remembered by Canadians from coast to coast for his songs Tom Mehegan
