After a 28-year vacation, the immortal Peter Puck is returning to television as part of Maple Leaf broadcasts. Mr. Puck was first introduced during the 1970's on NBC to help American viewer's understand the game better. Later, he also could be found on CBC's coverage of Hockey Night in Canada.
The Leafs will show 11 original segments of Peter Puck beginning with this Thursday's game against Tampa Bay.

I heart Peter Puck! Wish I could see the segments.
You can. A DVD with all of the Peter Puck segments is available at http://www.chapters.indigo.ca
I picked mine up at a Chapters in Ottawa for $12.99, same as the online price.
There is also a GREAT Peter Puck theme song out now too:

It's about time Peter Puck makes another debut. I prefer Peter Puck over "Grapes" anyday.
