Huaco Kid Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 The guy that took that picture, while doing an interview for a magazine, said something, like, "I got to his farm early and it was cold. He was chopping firewood. As he started to warm up, he took off his coat. Then his sweater. Then his sweatshirt. Then his t-shirt. The more clothes he took off, the bigger he got."

Huaco Kid Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 A "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" was a goal, an assist, and a fight, all in one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 7. His career almost ended before it started. While Howe became revered for his longevity, his career was almost dramatically shortened during a game against the rival Toronto Maple Leafs. It was the first game of the Stanley Cup semifinal on March 28, 1950. The Leafs were up 4-0 when Howe tried to shake things up with some physical play. But when he targeted Leafs legend Ted “Teeder” Kennedy, things quickly went awry. Kennedy saw Howe coming, dodging the hit at the last second. Howe crashed head first into the boards, suffering a concussion and numerous fractures. More seriously, his brain began to swell, and doctors had to drill a hole in his skull to relieve the pressure. Thankfully, Howe made a full recovery. (when I was a kid, we didn't have to wear helmets (in organized hockey), either. by the time I got to jr. high, we had to wear them. No face-guard, no mouth-guard, just the helmet. they had 1/8" foam padding.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Smoke rising from a tear gas bomb drifts through the Montreal Forum March 17, 1955 as 15,000 hockey fans protested the suspension of Maurice "Rocket" Richard by National Hockey League President Clarence Campbell. The bomb was set off by a demonstrator at the intermission between the first and second periods. (Bettmann/CORBIS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 "After a night of celebrating their Stanley Cup victory in 1905, members of the Ottawa Silver Seven felt it necessary to see if one could kick the Cup into Ottawa's Rideau Canal. One of them lined it up and gave it a boot, drop-kick style. In a true test of his accuracy and distance, the Cup landed on target, in the canal. That established, the boys went on their merry way, and the Cup stayed in the Canal until the next day when sober heads prevailed and Lord Stanley's mug was rescued. It was then placed in the capable hands of Harry Smith, a Silver Seven member. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 "In 1907, the Montreal Wanderers left the Cup at the home of a photographer they hired to document their trophy win. The photographer's mother decided it would make a wonderful flower pot, and it served that purpose for a few months until the Wanderers brass remembered and rescued it from the earthly grave."

Huaco Kid Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 " In 1924, Montreal Canadiens players on their way to a victory party stored the trophy in the trunk of their car. On their way to the festivities, the vehicle had a flat. The players removed the Cup to get at the spare, changed the tire and drove off leaving the Stanley Cup sitting on a snow bank. When it came time to drink champagne from the Cup they realized they didn't have it with them. They drove back to where they changed the tire and thankfully the Cup was still there."

Huaco Kid Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 1 hour ago, Huaco Kid said: and the Cup stayed in the Canal until the next day when sober heads prevailed and Lord Stanley's mug was rescued. I've also heard a different story, where the cup stayed in the canal until the next year, because they didn't know they had to give it back. Then they went back and found it. Probably whilst drunk, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 7. The Fastest Puck Shot on Record Reached 114 Miles Per Hour. The fastest slap shot was launched by KHL player Alexander Ryazantsev. The second-fastest shot was launched by fellow KHL-er Denis Kulyash and was recorded at 110.43 Mph. Zdeno Chara holds the record for fastest slapshot in an NHL game, when he fired one off at 105.9 Mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 8. Fox Television Once Used a “High-Tech” Hockey Puck. “Smart pucks” were released by Fox television in 1996. Also known as the “FoxTrax,” these high-tech gizmos sported a hidden microchip that transmitted an infrared signal to a series of computers which superimposed blue and red halos around the puck on television screens during play, making them easier to see. -------------- If you never saw that, they sucked and made it impossible to watch the game. They also quickly learned that after a few pucks went into the stands, the fans would whip them around, and make laser-tracks all over, and totally mess up the computer trying to keep track of the on-ice puck.

Huaco Kid Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 9. Pucks Can Actually Be Split During Games. It’s certainly a rare occurrence, but forwards Shane Doan and Andrew Procho have each managed to break a puck in half against a goal post during the past 5 years in their respective leagues (as has center Patrick Kane). Check out Procho’s shot for yourself in the video above (jump to 0:22 for the clip in question). ---------- I really don't believe this, unless it's really that cold in Siberia, or wherever these fools live.
