Vangroovy Rearguard: A birthday for Cesare Maniago today, his 83rd, so here’s hailing him. Born in Trail, B.C., on a Friday of this date in 1939, Maniago did most of his NHL goaling (nine seasons) for the Minnesota North Stars before spending his last two campaigns, from 1976 through to 1978, with the Vancouver Canucks.
