This Day In Hockey History (11/27)

Apologies for this being our only post today, but sometimes an even greater work calls.  Timmy and I break down the hockey and fantasy hockey world tonight on The Program at 8pm ET.  In the meantime, this one was truly one of the more tear jerking moments that I could remember as a teenager but it happened 20 years ago today as the Pittsburgh Penguins played the New Jersey Devils.  Here is a video and then that moment…..

 

 

November 27, 1991

Penguins defeated the Devils 8-4 at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, following a 10 minute candlelight ceremony paying tribute to Bob Johnson, who had passed away one day earlier.

This one is a somber This Day as 19 years ago the Penguins paid a tribute to a dear friend and that went offensive lights out on a poor team in red and well green.  Here is a video and story too.

BallHype: hype it up!

Black Friday but hey no one really called it that years ago so no worries. Time to see what happened on this day a certain amount of years ago.

What’s my line?

November 27, 1965

Detroit’s Gordie Howe scored his 600th NHL goal. It came in a 6-2 Red Wings loss to Montreal. Howe also got a major penalty that night for elbowing J.C. Tremblay. Howe became the first NHL player to get 600 career goals.
