Fifty years ago today, ABC debuted the show featuring our favorite animated moose and squirrel, Rocky & Bullwinkle.

Or more formally, Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose.

Remember?

Bullwinkle: Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.
Rocky: Again?

A clip from "Rocky Balboa" played on the jumbotron during the second period of Game 3.

Cardinal rule of jumbotron management: Never motivate with a Rocky movie made after 1985.

For tonight's Game 4, the CanesVision crew should consider the more appropriate "Rocky IV," aka the movie that single-handedly toppled the Soviet Union (perhaps it will have the same effect on Evgeni Malkin).

Local rivers should drop to safely paddlable levels today.

The Haw, Rocky and Eno all prove too dangerous in Hanna's immediate aftermath.
