Here comes another moment from yesteryear on “This Day In Hockey History”.  Now on The Program today, there will be no Fantasy Hockey ONE, as we do it traditionally on the show.  If you remember the “Legion Of Doom” then you should remember today’s moment from 15 years ago.  That was a team that could really put on an offensive show at times with just one line.  At any rate, we have the moment but first let’s roll out that nice video footage.
