This Day In Hockey History (10/4)

Today we have a special “Grahame Crackers Treat”.  For one it is rare to see father and son combos in the NHL let alone goaltenders.  However, we did find one and the result of the son was a pretty nice capper for that day.  Though this is not quite the perfect setup for the Weekly Slapshot tonight at 9:30pm ET on Blog Talk Radio, it will nonetheless do.  Here is today’s moment from 12 years ago with video of course.
