Ah yes, the good old days…when coaches coached and players played, and everyone knew their place on the food chain. Detroit and Chicago fared pretty well when a coach like Jules Winnfield developed a high caliber talent like Chris Chelios. And now, let us see the touching video about the relationship between a player and his coach… [Chris Chelios remenisces about his youth hockey coach Jules Winnfield.](http://www.team1200.com/tgor/video_viewer_jules.asp) As an aside, **rjung** , you might be interested to know that this was filmed in your neck of the woods at the Skating Edge Ice Center, home of the [Bay Harbor Redwings](http://www.bayharborhockey.org/), a youth minor hockey organization…I had my son playing on a hockey team against them many a time, and I either coached or managed against the Redwings as well. I saw this video, and it just made me laugh and cry at the same time. Man, I miss youth hockey. Maybe I’ll go watch that CSI episode with the hockey game murder that was filmed at the [Valencia Ice Station.](http://www.icestation.net/) ---

That was friggin’ brilliant. “Give him the gourmet shot.” :eek: Two of the greatest things on Earth combined to make one incredible work of art. ---

Wait a minute, Jules Winfield was the name of Samuel L. Jackson’s character from _Pulp Fiction_, a 1994 movie. He had a wallet that said “Bad Motherfucker” on it! ---

When Marty McSorely was on the Kings, and the games were in The Forum at Inglewood, I do remember some of the fans yelling to Marty when he did exactly what Jules (Samuel) was showing the kids…“Give him the Inglewood Jack!” ---

I believe so, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been in that neck of the woods since the Kings and Lakers moved to Staples Center. I noticed that Madonna had a concert there back in May '04. Since it’s next to [Hollywood Park](http://www.hollywoodpark.com/) (horserace track), it might be demolished so they can build/expand a casino there, but I’m not totally sure that’s gonna happen. ---

Yeah, the new mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa is applying another layer of lipstick on that pig(skin). ---
