1. Montreal Canadians, Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Cannuks, Edmonton Oilers
2.
3. I don't get this Shadow response that everybody is giving. I know nothing about Sonic. Dodge Shadow sounds right. But in the movie Homeward Bound (1993) the Golden Retriever's name is Chance.
4. Alf
5. I'm miffed I couldn't come up with Ramsay.
Doh! I guess not. 31 years ago, so I guess I'll give myself a pass. I mixed up my dogs.
