TWO NEW MONDAY FEATURES: Quote of The Week, Obscure Factoid

Starting today, every Monday I will delve into the "Out of Bounds" archive files and titillate you with a Quote of the Week and an obscure factoid from the world of sports. Rinse and repeat.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

Jim Murray

"Philadelphia is quite a city. Whenever a plane lands there, everyone gets on, nobody gets off."

--Longtime Los Angeles-based sports columnist, the late, great Jim Murray


OBSCURE FACTOID:

There are many pucks in the NHL Hall of Fame, but one is very special. It is from a November 10, 1979 contest in Los Angeles between the Kings and the Minnesota North Stars -- a game in which the same puck was used the entire game. It never sailed into the stands. Pretty cool, huh?

    I don't really watch Hockey ever. Is that something rare? For the puck to stay in bounds all game?

    I know I've heard of pucks flying out and hitting people in the head, but I thought that was rare.
