Puckguy14 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Oh no! Absolutely a sad day in hockey. The one coach that put Team USA hockey on the map. May he rest in peace.Tough day. My condolences go out to his family, his NHL players and coaches, and his players from the 1980 USA Hockey team. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyboy1 Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 anyone who is played in a movie by kurt russel led a good life.That makes up for being once portrayed by Karl Malden.It's really a sad day here in Minnesota. Herb was very active in the hockey community. Some people say he just couldn't say no to a request and did many appearances for various hockey chairties and organizations. He will really be missed and many people are shocked at the suddenness of his passing.Thanks for everything Herbie.JeffB Click here to read Third String Goalie - The Hockey Jersey of the Day Blog Click here to see my hockey and baseball jersey collection online ?You don?t like to see 20 kids punching 20 other kids.
