This Day In Hockey History (2/14)

Posted by on Feb 14, 2012 17:15

Here is a special Valentine’s Day edition of This Day in Hockey History.  The moment we found is a bit curious on the surface but hey it is a milestone so we decided to run with it.  This guy was not the model citizen to his Valentine and that is well documented but his play on the ice does merit some love.  It is why today’s moment has a little of everything and does come oddly enough from Philadelphia.  The moment is eight years old today and the video accompanies it first.  Enjoy.

Today is some kind of holiday but it is just another day on This Day.  What do we have hanging around in the inbox from the fans?  That is a good question.  So many were distracted by said holiday but we did get some interesting suggestions.  This one will chafe a bit somehow.  I can see it already.

Mario Lemieux became the first player in team history to score 350 goals as a member of the Penguins. The milestone came in a 5-2 win over the Islanders, at the Civic Arena. It was the 7th of a team-record 11 straight home wins for the Penguins.
