This Day In Hockey History (2/23)

It is not often two players accomplish the same milestone on the same day but that is the moment we have here for “This Day” today.  The Pittsburgh Penguins really had a great thing going with #66 and #87 ladies and gentlemen.  It was so good that they won two Stanley Cups and set the fantasy hockey worlds on fire back in the day.  Today’s moment is from 16 years ago and really is something rare in hockey history.  Enjoy the video first and then the moment.

When Al MacInnis fires a slapper, people run for the hills.  Today’s moment is from 20 years ago and features one wild high scoring game between the Blues and the former Nordiques.  It is kind of funny that they played last night.

Life truly goes on ladies and gentlemen and so does This Day. No one could really top yesterday’s moment but we will still do a moment a day until Hades freezes over. Here is today’s moment with a video preceding it.
