This Day In Hockey History (12/30)

Posted by on Dec 30, 2011 14:02

Leave it to us to find another one of those quirky moments for “This Day”.  Goalies and shutouts are fairly commonplace in the NHL so we decided to dig a little deeper and found a team that really made good use of its goalies, well sort of.  Today’s gem comes to us from 31 years ago and more a sign of injuries than anything else.  However, we have the video first and then the moment as always to get you started on a Friday.

 

 

December 30, 1980

Montreal’s rookie goaltender Rick Wamsley recorded his first career NHL shutout in the Canadiens’ 4-0 win over the visiting Los Angeles Kings. Wamsley became the third Canadiens goalie to get a shutout in the 1980-81 season.

1980 must have been a very weird season for this guy to get a shutout.  Here is some video and today’s moment as well.  By the way, Happy Birthday to my Aunt Lois…she turns 63 today.
