This Day In Hockey History (12/20)

Sometimes there is nothing like a holiday season NHL beating.  Sure enough today, we found a moment that exemplified this.  The Boston Bruins had a really good team in 1979 and the moment today proved this in many ways.  So it is now time to take a stroll back from 32 years ago and a night that the Toronto Maple Leafs wish did not happen.  Yet it did.  The video will come followed by the gem as always.

 

 

December 20, 1979

Goaltender Gerry Cheevers recorded his 24th career shutout with 18 saves, and Jean Ratelle and Dick Redmond each scored two goals and added an assist as Boston won 10-0 against the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs.

Bear with us as we battle the plagues.  Today’s moment was tough but hey, it is hockey, that is expected and normal.  This is definitely a fast one so keep an eye on it.

 

 

December 20, 1981

Winnipeg’s Doug Smail set an NHL record (later tied by Bryan Trottier and Alex Mogilny) for fastest goal from the start of a game, with a goal just five seconds into the Jets’ 5-4 win over St. Louis.
