What a shock. Another story that involves Vanishing James (VJ).
So there we were, at the Meadowlands Arena sometime in the early 1990s for a Devils-Canadiens game.
I had on my usual game attire, the Christmassy-style away Devils jersey of Kirk Muller, number 9. VJ came equipped with the Candiens No. 44 away jersey of Stephane Richer.
Well, just days before, in what was a pretty earth-shattering deal at that time, Muller and Richer were dealt for one another.
In the first period, VJ and I wore our own clothes. For the second period, we switched jerseys. We swapped back for the third period.
A few years later, when I was covering a Devils game, I was talking to Richer in the locker room. He was in a good mood after an easy New Jersey victory, and there was no one around. I told him the story about the jerseys and the swap. We actually got a good laugh out of the whole deal.
Umm, the end.
