RIP Brooksie. He was one of a kind, which was sometimes a good thing and sometimes not. But he was a hell of a writer. He was the Torts of hockey writers, which is why they HATED each other when Torts was in New York.New York Post hockey writer and Hockey Hall of Famer Larry Brooks died. He was 75.
