This Day In Hockey History (3/3)

The Saturday Edition of This Day In Hockey History comes at you with another gem from yesteryear.  Today we have a bit of an old one as it seems we found out the day a guy transitioned from player to Coach.  Then he would move on win a few Stanley Cups and make some bold statements in a big city that did not work so well.  All in all, it has been a ride many have been envious of and still are today.  Here is today’s moment from 35 years ago and then the video as always.

 

 

March 03, 1977

Edmonton Oilers (of the WHA) named their ex-player Glen Sather as the team’s new head coach. He remained with the organization thru the end of the 1999-2000 NHL season.

So it may be time to get down to some business here.  People forget just how skilled Peter Forsberg was and just a fantasy hockey superstar.  Here on The Program, we do not and here is a great moment from Foppa almost all in one period just 12 years ago against the Florida Panthers.

 

 

March 03, 1999

Peter Forsberg scored 3 goals and 3 assists (including 5 points in the 3rd period) as Colorado scored 6 times in the 3rd period for a 7-5 win over the Panthers, at Florida. The win extended the Av’s team-record road unbeaten streak to 8-0-2.
