This Day In Hockey History (2/2)

Posted by on Feb 2, 2012 04:50

We take a quick look on This Day at a moment that happened on February 2nd in hockey history.  Sometimes there are just ones that explain it all and then some gems that are a true laugher.  The only problem is obviously when the laugh is on the opposing team.  In this case, Philadelphia not only scored a few goals but they decided to go for the dozen but that is not the intriguing part of this one.  Here is a video and then the moment for today’s 38 year old vintage.

 

 

February 02, 1974

Bobby Clarke scored his 2nd career hat trick & 3 assists, Ross Lonsberry added 3 goals, & Simon Nolet had a goal and 4 assists to lead the Flyers to a 12-2 win over Detroit at the Spectrum. It was the first double hat trick in Flyers’ history.

On an icy day in February, what better way to have This Day than to give the fans something to warm them up like an insanely hot goalie streak.  This moment happened 39 years ago today up in Beantown, another city who has seen the icy grip of Winter this season.

Bruin goaltender Gerry Cheevers extended his unbeaten streak to 18 straight games (13-0-5) with his 16th career shutout as the Bruins beat the Rangers 2-0 in New York.

Tuesday on This Day. The moment today focuses on a coach who got two chances in one season so to speak. Let’s just recycling happened a lot more in the NHL a couple decades back.

February 02, 1984

Roger Neilson became just the second man in NHL history to coach two teams in one season, when he led the Kings to a 4-2 win over the visiting Canucks. Neilson’s first game as the Kings’ coach came two weeks after he had been fired by Vancouver.
