Today in Hockey History: Dec. 26

Today in Hockey History: Dec. 26

December 26th, 2020 Dec. 26 has proven to be an extremely busy day in National Hockey League history. A handful of Hockey Hall of Famers had huge performances on this date as we had to say good to two others. Some goaltending greats showed exactly why they are held in high regard while fans in Pittsburgh and Vancouver had plenty to cheer about. Let’s...
Doug Harvey: Greatest of Them All?

Doug Harvey: Greatest of Them All?

December 19th, 2020 With more and more new hockey fans enjoying the game we feel it's more important than ever to look back at some of the game's greatest. When discussing all-time great defensemen Bobby Orr's name is always the first mentioned, as it should be, but the list directly below him is crowded. Names like Nicklas Lidstrom, Denis Potvin, Serge...

Today in Hockey History: Aug. 23

August 23rd, 2020 One of the first big goaltending stars in National Hockey League history made his way to Montreal on this date. Also, a new Hockey Hall of Fame class was announced but one inductee skipped the ceremony out of his displeasure. Hainsworth Moves to the NHL On Aug. 23, 1926, the Montreal Canadiens purchased the contract of future Hall...
The Best NHL Defensemen Ever

The Best NHL Defensemen Ever

July 7th, 2020 The NHL has a long and storied existence. Legendary teams, lines and players serve as a reminder of days gone by while today’s players continue to forge the legacy left behind by the pioneers of our beloved game. Like any legendary player, their contributions to the record books survive the test of time. Whether they changed the...

Today in Hockey History: June 13

June 13th, 2020 This date in National Hockey League history has seen a lot of memorable moments throughout the decades. The greatest coach in the history of the game went out in style, the youngest first overall pick was made and the Hockey Hall of Fame welcomed in a whole slew of new names. Bowman Takes a Final Lap June 13 is a big date for...

Today in Hockey History: April 20

April 20th, 2020 The National Hockey League is normally in the midst of the Stanley Cup playoffs on April 20. Since that is not possible right now, we will take a look back at some of the biggest moments to occur on this date throughout the years. Gretzky & Penguins Set All-Time Marks On April 20, 1992, Wayne Gretzky became the first player...
One for the Ages: Doug Harvey's 1968-69 NHL Season

One for the Ages: Doug Harvey's 1968-69 NHL Season

March 5th, 2020 There will never be any replicating of Doug Harvey. One should be very cautious even about drawing comparisons between the legendary defenseman and other players since his time. Bobby Orr certainly revolutionized the defense position. Paul Coffey rewrote the majority of the offensive records for D-men. Nicklas Lidstrom defined the 1990s...
50 Years Ago in Hockey: The Coaches - Red Sullivan

50 Years Ago in Hockey: The Coaches - Red Sullivan

September 23rd, 2015 While most of the NHL coaches we have talked about in this series are firmly ensconced in their positions, such is not the case with New York Rangers bench boss Red Sullivan. Rumours were rampant throughout last season and over the summer that Sullivan, after two-and-a-half seasons at the helm, was on the way out the door. Started With...
The Montreal Canadiens Franchise Four

The Montreal Canadiens Franchise Four

September 22nd, 2015 The Franchise Four. The Mount Rushmore. Four players who tell the story of an organization. In this series, I’ll be taking a look at the history of all 30 NHL squads. For criteria, I’m choosing one forward, defenceman, goaltender and a wild card from any position. An “Original Six” squad, there’s no shortage of sensational...
50 Years Ago in Hockey - Leafs, Hawks Scoreless

50 Years Ago in Hockey - Leafs, Hawks Scoreless

January 14th, 2015 There was one game scheduled in the National Hockey League last night, and it did not produce even one goal.  The Toronto Maple Leafs hosted the Chicago Black Hawks in a tight, close-checking affair that ended in a 0-0 tie.  The only difference between this and a Stanley Cup final playoff game was that in the playoffs, they would have...
50 Years Ago in Hockey - Russians Edge Junior Habs

50 Years Ago in Hockey - Russians Edge Junior Habs

December 12th, 2014 The Russian National Hockey Team finally got its wish of playing against professionals last night, albeit it was the Montreal Junior A Canadiens, a team augmented by pros from North America's top minor league.  The Russians won the game 3-2, but former NHL'ers Doug Harvey and Gump Worsley, now with Quebec of the American Hockey League,...

December 8th, 2014 Frank Mahovlich, the Toronto Maple Leafs star left winger who has been out of the lineup since November 11 with an undisclosed illness, is all set to return tomorrow night when the Leafs face the Montreal Canadiens at Maple Leaf Gardens. Mahovlich went through a brisk workout at Tam O'Shanter Arena yesterday and afterwards...
50 Years Ago in Hockey - Hockey's Next Superstar?

50 Years Ago in Hockey - Hockey's Next Superstar?

October 27th, 2014 With a dark night throughout the hockey world last night, we thought we'd provide the next in our series of player profiles.  This time, we go off the board a bit to have a look at a sixteen-year-old junior defenceman who is being touted as hockey's next great superstar. A quiet kid Bobby Orr is a quiet, unassuming young man, whose...
Futility: Hockey's Dirty Word (Part One)

Futility: Hockey's Dirty Word (Part One)

May 21st, 2013 The definition of futility according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary: Futility - 1. The quality or state of being; 2. A useless act or gesture For the sport of hockey, futility is a real dirty word. After over a week of collecting myself after the Canucks' miserable end to Round 1 of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs (in my...

The All-40 Team

Much has been made of the play of Teemu Selanne and Nicklas Lidstrom the past two seasons as they approached, and passed, their 40th birthdays. They still rank among the best in the world, but are not alone in playing when most others are concentrating on their golf swing. Some are able to not only stick around, but play their best...
