Rangers' 1978-79 Stanley Cup Final: What Could've Been

Rangers' 1978-79 Stanley Cup Final: What Could've Been

November 23rd, 2020 Before the 2013-14 New York Rangers made their stunning run to the Stanley Cup Final, only to fall short, there was the 1978-79 team. That Blueshirts squad authored an even bigger Cinderella story than their counterparts of 25 years later, emerging from third place in the four-team Patrick Division - with 91 points, they finished 25...

Ones That Got Away: The Winnipeg Jets' Dave Babych

October 5th, 2020 Nearly every NHL franchise has "ones that got away" — players who found the bulk of their success after being traded or allowed to walk via free agency — and the Winnipeg Jets are no exception.

April 13th, 2016 After three games in their Stanley Cup semi-final playoff series, the Montreal Canadiens have the Toronto Maple Leafs squarely behind the eight-ball.

50 Years Ago in Hockey: Leafs Come Back to Tie Habs

November 11th, 2015 It was a busy Wednesday evening in the National Hockey League, as all six clubs saw action.

In the only game to reach a decision, the Chicago Black Hawks downed the Detroit Red Wings 5-2. Leafs...

50 Years Ago in Hockey - Habs Hammer Hawks at Home

April 28th, 2015 The Montreal Canadiens won the pivotal fifth game of the Stanley Cup Final Series last night in Montreal in convincing fashion when they demolished the Chicago Black Hawks by a score of 6-0.  Canadiens were simply better than the Black Hawks at every facet of the game. Hodge hot The much-maligned Charley Hodge, who was admittedly off...

50 Years Ago in Hockey - Cup Champs De-Throned

April 14th, 2015 There will be a new Stanley Cup Champion for 1965.  That fact was confirmed last night at 16:33 of the first overtime period at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto as the Canadiens defeated the  Maple Leafs 4-3.  The Montreal victory gives them their Stanley Cup semi-final series four games to two over the former champs.

50 Years Ago in Hockey - Red Wings Bomb Bruins

March 19th, 2015 Oh, the inconsistency of youth. Only 24 hours after practically standing on his head in beating the Chicago Black Hawks, Boston  rookie goaltender Jack Norris surrendered 10 goals as the Detroit Red Wings drubbed the Bruins 10-3 at the Olympia in Detroit. Norris, replacing the injured Ed Johnston in goal for Boston, is certainly...

September 30, 1964 - Last Nights Exhibition Results

September 30th, 2014 It was a fairly light exhibition  schedule last night around the NHL with only three games involving NHL teams taking on minor league clubs.  Toronto skated to a 6-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks of the Western Hockey League, Chicago defeated Buffalo of the American League 4-1 at Welland, Ontario, while Detroit handled their...
