Maybe I heard this on Hockey Night in Canada: In a game where Eddie was being targeted by the opposing bench for his inability to read or write, and they were really laying it on him far into the game. There may have been a tie near the end of regulation when Eddie scored a goal. He then skated slowly past the opponents bench and said: "You spell that g-o-a -l." Did I see him play watching B&W TV? Probably.
As soon as I saw the thread title I instantly recalled "Clear the track here comes Shack, He knocks 'em down and he gives 'em a wack. Eddie, Eddie Shack.
He used to tell a story about in his junior hockey days, when money was in short supply, he would go to a car lot and buy a car. And then he would drive the car down the street to a different car lot and sell the car to the car lot for a profit. The guy was a natural born salesman and full blown character
